Two different spectrums but heres the question

the question you are asking is like whats better a chevy or a ford. you have to make that decision yourself and move ahead with your choice. cant help you on the flatbed part pulled meat and produce the first 15 years and box trl the rest of the time. lots of luck

 

If you have to ask, stick with a box.

 

Yep. I have read that CT does a lot of short runs hauling construction materials. Maybe I'm wrong, but don't see how anyone could make big paychecks doing that.

 

% would make $

 

Are you ####### serious? Did someone else make up your mind for you to get into this industry, as well?
Not trying to bust your balls here.. well, yeah, I kinda am... but you gotta be able to make your own decisions here. You're an adult, are you not? If you want to compare and contrast van vs. flatbed, that's one thing, but to have to ask someone which one YOU want to do? Come on!

 

Most fighters walk into a boxing gym not for the money, but because THEY LIKE TO FIGHT. Your question is like asking, "Should I try out for the basketball team or be a fighter? What are the pros and cons?" Thing to remember, if you even want to consider fighting, it's not for the initial money, it's for the fight.

Same principle goes for flatbedding. People that do well in flatbedding got into flatbeds because they wanted the challenge. They wanted to get down and dirty throwing chains and whatnot. In basketball, every time you get knocked down, the ref calls foul on your opponent. In boxing, every time you get knocked down, the ref wants to count you out.

So, when someone comes in and asks, "Should I go flatbed or van?", safe bet is he will be happier with vans.

 

Better money at W/S.......

if that matters to you.
