    Depending on what your gonna be hauling--i wouldnt advise a woman to run flatbed. Those tarps are a pain especially in wet weather and the straps were even a bigger pain. I believe that women can do it but i tried it and needless to say--i ended up pullin some abdomen muscles tightening up the straps. Flatbed is a lot of physical work unless you can find something where you dont have to tarp--then it wouldnt be so bad. I did some lumber for a while--it nearly whooped my butt. Just be cautious if ur running flatbed--you can strain some stuff you didnt know could be strained! LOL Be safe and take care out there!
