    It wasn't that bad. Flat bedding ain't the toughest job in trucking IMO. Tarping was the only part that was really difficult. Yea the heat gets to you in the summer but at least there's airflow and wind I guess. I thought flat bedding was a good work out figured it was tougher than swinging doors and punching a button on a reefer. But it'll never be as hard as pulling that cow wagon. That made a man of me real #### quick. If your body isn't all tore up flat bedding ain't that bad I've got bad knees and a tore to hell shoulder but I lived.

    Flat bedding is hard work compared to swinging doors, but its not the touches job in trucking by any means.

    No matter what you pull its driving truck. You get out and do something for awhile then get back in the seat and drive.
