Switch from van to flatbed hopefully!

The dollar decides just how far she'll go.

The part I like about flatbed is that they don't restrict the length of the tractors wheelbase if your an o/o. With van/reefer its a 265" limit. With flats you just gotta stay under the weight limit of the tractor. Although maybe I should try curtain side rather than flats?

I understand the limit for the wheelbase on vans. The medical place in Woburn, MA is so small that my 240" wheelbase century ends up being at a 45* angle when i hit the dock square on. And you have only about 3-4" on each side of error room. I hate going there.

Speaking about wheelbase.

This morning I saw a truck that had a sleeper the size of a #### straight truck. Seriously. I thought it was because how lit up it was, the flat bed trler it was pulling had lights like our trailers.

I was both amazed and disappointed

 

Well me and lantern passed the Alabama coil test. We'll start securement training tomorrow. I'm pretty excited!!

That's funny. I thought it did.

 

Good job. Good luck with the rest of securement training. Sure you guys will do great.
