    if your main concern is about how much you have to tarp outside. I suggest you stay with the trailer with doors on the back. Your main concern should be about how to properly secure your loads.

    You have to be a special breed to do flatbed. You WILL get dirty. You WILL get wet. You WILL get cold. You WILL get frostbitten if not careful. You WILL get hot. You WILL work your butt off. You WILL get PAID VERY WELL and you WILL get home nearly every weekend. If you think that this sounds good, do flatbed. If you think that this sounds scary, do van.

    And I forgot to mention that we have several squared-away, motivated female flatbedders who do a good job and secure and tarp with the best of 'em.
