Typical pay for OTR flatbedding

My company is transport national. Smaller company based out of oak creek Wisconsin, have several yards out and about in the cereal us. www.tntrans.com if you want to know more.

that's understandable, boats tend to slow a little bit.

 

I shoot for a daily gross of $250 minimum to me per day. Like Gunner, I run for percentage. Flatbedder minimum should be in the $1200-$1500 per week range running regional and taking weekends off.

Why? We run more risks. It's pretty hard to fall out of a dry van or Reefer. Plus beating the snot outta your body throwing chains and dragging tarps. Plus the inherent risks of a lot of our loading and unloading areas.

And in the amount of drive time we lose due to loading, securing, tarping, untarping, in unsecuring, unloading, and stowing gear, and you begin to see why we get paid a higher rate than the guys that just swing doors and max out their 11 hour drive clocks.

 

Its no problem man, we don't have any yards down that way, we have loads that go that way, but they want the drivers to live within a specific geographical area

 

Bah, it's fun I think. They even take students

 

I average 1350 gross per week As a regional company driver in the upper Midwest.
