    Coils from Indiana to Laredo. Freightliner truck frame from Laredo to South Carolina. Bus chassis from South Carolina to Indiana. The Swift Triangle. Actually, a smart idea. The problem came in when everything crashed in 2008, and no one was buying motorhomes. The triangle was broken for a bit and their drivers suffered.

    GreerSC. Swift has a terminal i85 exit 52. They pick up those bus chassis in GafneySC. And you see them trucking up i26 with their chassis load.

    So the real question, my recruiter seems absolutely clueless that flatbed even exists... I'm in school beginning Monday. How do I make certain I get on with flatbed? Million dollar question. Is the fact that they will be sending me to Lancaster for Orientation going to be an issue, or do you decide at Orientation and let them know? How does that #### work?

    Seriously you guys are my only source of information it seems lol

    Its going to be an issue. You were supposed to be going to orientation in either Gary Indiana or Phoenix Arizona for flatbed. Those are the flatbed training terminals. @Lepton1, any thoughts on his next move?
