Vermont Flatbed companies

look at TMC i know they been starting alot of dedicated accounts on the northeast and as far as working flatbed aslong as you are willing to work a little harder than just holding the steering wheel you will be ok good luck

 

Try Bellavance out of Barrie.

I always wanted to winter in the basin, and ski every day! I love it there. Good luck with your search.

 

Yes, Bellavance is the outfit you'll want to try and get on with. They do hire new drivers at certain times of the year. Flatbed has been slow, so they might be done training until spring. When you get enough posts give me a PM.

 

Talked to a bellavance driver awhile back and after the discussion I would not go work for them. Low pay and low miles for experienced guys. Not sure how they are for new drivers but I will also say I see their equipment quite a bit while running the NE and it leaves alot to be desired. That said I'm sure they pay even or a little better than TMC.

Also what town gig are you leaving maybe ill get an application in before you leave it so I can come off the road. Near St. J area by chance?

 

I don't work for these guys. But am around Barre, their yard and drivers almost daily. I know drivers who complain about the pay and miles and I know others who are happy and consider themselves well-paid. I know some who are very well paid. Most are home several nights during the week. They also have been occasionally hiring new drivers. There are an awful lot of new trucks in their fleet. They were getting new PROSTARS but have just switched to Freightliners because of all the Navistar problems. The flats are all alum. and the vans and reefer vans are all very recent. I think they kept some of the Eagles around for the flats because the maxforce 13 in the new tractors couldn't pull the granite. The complaint I've heard recently is that they are running the drivers hard and pushing the limits on legal. Anyways, there are very few jobs in this area, and these guys are by far the largest carrier. I wouldn't call them a bottom feeder or a bad company at all. If you go through with getting your CDL, you should check them out because they are not going to treat you like so many starter companies that you read about here.

 

Yeah guy I saw had a beat old eagle and it's mostly what I have seen. Pay wise was definately not good for experience from what he said .34 a mile. If they are running their guys hard maybe I just talked to the oh so common lazy whiner who wants $1000 pay checks w/ 1500 mile weeks. Hell if they are running hard maybe I'll take a ride next time home and look into it myself if the pay isn't actually .34 it could be worth it.

 

lol, I lived in Lyndonville for a few years but I'm from Island Pond. Bellavance was the first company that came to mind although I drove for Northern Gas Transport for a summer before moving south and while the pay was low they were good people and I had no complaints and if moving back north would not hesitate in going back to work for them.

 

I see Bellavance trucks down here once in a while so they do get south but its not often I see them. Probably could get you south if you wanted or asked for it.
