    If you took Dicks course and rode the "Special Bus" then you deserve to do all tht flatbedding you desire. We had a couple guys that were there for flatbed training but I think they were company driver switching from van to FB.

    I am a current flatbedder with W/S, I just got back into posting on the forums so if you have any questions shoot away.. Don't know if I am too late to help out with your questions though.

    How you like it? I started with them (dry van) and then I left for more money, I kinda regret it though, never got treated better.

    Yea, I like it very much. Dispatchers are great to work with, I rarely get stuck somewhere on layovers, and it's pretty laid back. You can usually run as hard as you want, or as easy as you want. Miles are pretty easy to get as their average length of haul tends to be longer than the van side.
     
    LostOne9 Thanks this.

    Yea, I know their pay isn't the top tier, but it's not horrible by any means.. and they have treated me very well in my time there. It's always nice to walk through the terminal in Missoula and have many people know you by name.
