Post your flatbed load pictures here

Nothing wrong with a condo pulling a skateboard, I think if I had one my fuel mileage would be better than 5.9

 

I have a W900L flat top, didt gross under 130k this week and got 5mpg. I was happy

 

Yeah I hauled scrap metal we didn't haul very much under 90k and that was because they made their money off weight.

example:
there's 30 ton's of scrap in a box setting at a machine shop, we haul it into the yard and then they tell the machine shop there was only 24 tons of scrap in the box that's 6 ton they just got for free.

 

####, we may have worked for the same person....

 

LOL, I heard that, I think ALL scrap companies are shady as can be. I sometimes get loads of scrap on my flatbed from brokers and I always cringe when it has anything to do with scrap...

 

I don't go bigger because I can't find loads with a stepdeck now that pay anything I look at the rgn loads all the time and really don't see all that many but only look at the markets I know

 

RGN loads are mostly off board loads, the few on the boards I would not touch with a 50 foot pole.

 

Than without being leased onto a good company how would a O/O make it

 

We do pretty good as a independent small company, networking with direct contacts and providing reliable service to the client is our key. I had a load out of California to Arizona, legal in the well. Brokered called as I was leaving and asked if I could deliver early since the receiver needed it asap for Monday, I said sure and delivered it Saturday, we ended up with the receiver giving us more work direct. No broker fees and nothing off the top with a national equipment company, the way it is worked is all up to the owner and drivers. Moral of my story, customer service.

 

AMEN!!! Differentiate yourself from the rest of the pack.
