Tips and Tricks of flatbedding

Please please keep those under control, which it sounds like you are. I wish you the best of luck and thank you for your service and sacrifice. That being said, you could try bt express out of Weatherford ok. They will let you bring your dog and they might have a truck opening up in 2 weeks if I'm lucky today.

 

Nobody will ask you about that stuff if you don't tell them about it in the first place. Just find a company with a pet policy and roll on.

 

It is kinda hard to "not" tell them when it is on my DOT long form.

 

Well that stinks.

 

So go get a new one from another doctor. If you don't tell them about something like that they won't mark anything on the long form.

 

I am not too sure on this, but something worth looking into.... A service dog may be allowed on the truck if the company has no pet policy per the ADA act.

 

Hadn't thought of that, one company just turned me down because he is a "bully-breed"/mix....thinking of seeking out company that has van and flatbed divisions, drive van during this winter and switch over to flatbed in spring. Any recommendations? I have about a year left on my GI Bill too so trying to add that to my list of company approved for the VAs OJT program. If I don't use it by sept next year I loose it.

 

Call Long Haul trucking in Albertville MN. They will train you out of school if you have a CDL and just comming out the military. Flatbed company. 48 CPM to start

 

This thread fell way to far back so here's another tip.

When loading lumber, put a 4X4 under the back of the last and front of the front pack. Otherwise it may look like this when you deliver. I knew better too. No excuses.

 

Yes you did know better. But if that's the worse that happens is been a good week.
