Thank you sir! Appreciate it.jamespmack, Oxbow and Tug Toy Thank this. -
how does SPD compare to COTC, any thoughts?? i'm in the oil field now, but i'm sick of the work (not the money) and I used to haul flatbed before I switched to tankers, but i'm so sick of tankers, sick of fumes. tankers are kinda like van in that every load looks the same. i'm so bored and miss flatbed otr so much i'm willing to care less about the money.
how is SPD tarping policy? is it as bad as COTC. i dont get why even the dumbest things need to be tarped.
Roehl was never that bad.
thanks for any replies i get -

SPD has a good chunk of QuickDraw, curtain sides, and Aero trailers... so even if it needs a tarp you may or may not have to actually “tarp.” COTC has them as well but I’ve been told it’s reserved for more tenured drivers... at SPD you may as well have a different trailer on every trip so you’ll get to pull basically everything as soon as you start.
We have two and three piece tarp sets — tend to see more three piece sets. And we have specialized tarp sets for certain loads...
Something to consider... SPD is an LTL company. Multiple stops. Multiple drops. On top of that we haul a lot of time sensitive, odd shaped freight.... You may have four or five stops under one tarp... if you don’t like tarping you’re gonna be miserable.jamespmack, kylefitzy and pes2 Thank this. -

They put you up in a really nice hotel, right in the middle of a decent area for food, groceries etc. The BBQ place in the parking lot of the hotel is decent but pricey.
You'll do fine, I don't think you'll have anything to worry about. Don't smoke or eat anything from the building next door to the terminal if you want to pass the whiz quiz. It's a 420 processor LOL Great craft brewery a couple blocks away and at some point someone will introduce you to Buzz Inn Steakhouse, good food, good drinks (if you drink).
I'll PM you my number, don't hesitate to call me if you need anything.jamespmack, Oxbow, Sirscrapntruckalot and 2 others Thank this. -
