Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

If you are looking for an old school good ol days carrier, look into mason dixon and admiral merchant. Just big enough to get good direct freight, yet small enough you can really distinguish yourself. Maybe give sammons a glance.

 

thats what im gathering... reading up starting at page 1000... far back enough i think to gather a full picture... and i just realized they doing an IPO... thats not good... thats what im trying to get away from...

 

Thats a great point. But what company takes a driver with 3 yrs exp but zero with flatbed? Looking...

 

It's been a slow here to. Had a very good load Monday but since then? Nothing worth hauling. There was a couple but just far enough away i couldn't get to them by the time they needed the truck so got brokered out. It can be frustrating when you get a call at noon needing to be 3 hours away by 2 to load.

 

If you're looking to get into flatbed...try maverick or tmc..they'll train you in load securement...

 

Keep hearing about Maverick. My old man drove for B&W Cartage and then its sub CWS... He did okay. Thinking ill call them and maverick on monday and see who has the better offer...

 

Good luck with that. CWS/B&W used too be only auto freight. So in other words, cheap, cheap, cheap. I'm fairly certain that's all they still do.

 

I guess it helped that he was #3 seniority... He was making .90-1.10 all in the 90s.... he offered me the truck when he retired... shoulda just taken it and keep his seniority...
