    I have actually got a prehire from roehl. You seem to like them
    I was going to do the Midwest regional but got scared off by
    by the hair follicle test which makes me look bad
    but I have smoked 3 times in my life so I wouldn't wanna fail the test.

    Why not spend a few bucks on your own hair follicle test and then you'll know, passing up on an opportunity because of an unknown makes no sense.

    Also, check Hunt Transportation, which is on Crete website. It's a flatbed company out of Omaha, NE.

    Check System Transport, an excellent flatbed outfit.

    Both these companies will hire new CDL school grads & can apply online.

    The hair follicle test goes back 90 days on head hair, which is where they will take the sample from, unless you don't have enough hair there for them to take. Body hair, on the other hand, goes back as far as 1 year. If you have only smoked 3 times in your life then you have nothing to worry about. I don't do drugs, but have been through the hair follicle test. It's no big deal, except they will ruin a good hair cut. LOL

    Ok, for the one driver that bashed Boyd and the trucks has no idea what he is saying. I left them just in June. Loved the company and loved the people but the miles weren't where I wanted them the last year. The trucks are all new prostars, there are a few older ones still in the system. Service is all fine, they are under warranty. The just got in some Cascadias in to test out; Internationals have electrical and EGR issues. As for the ladders any will work, you will very seldom need it but it is nice to have. I did oversize and loved it, they are looking at revamping the oversize pay. Like the one poster said, look into Hunt or find a company that is near NE that would be able to handle your hometime. I always pulled farm irrigation out of NE. Also keep in mind that flatbed will start to get slower in a couple months. The only truth to that post was about the tarps, they are always getting torn up.
