    With all that experience you should have no problem finding a flatbed job..Dont worry about the securement to much,as when I started flatbedding I KNEW NOTHING,the folks I was working for knew thisand sent me on my way with the priceless words of wisdom,"you will be just fine"but,really,wherever you go to get a load,if you ask the folks loading you how to secure it,or for that matter another trucker there how to do it,you will recieve help from these folks,-it has always worked for me without fail....:biggrin_255:

    You need to read,once again,what I wrote....WHAT I tried to say(for those thinking impaired)is even if one has no clue in hell what their doing flatbedding,I always found good souls on the road to help me out...Best advice I ever got........You cannot overstrap or put to many chains on....Still use that advice after 6 yrs of flatbedding..:biggrin_25523:
