    I currently work at a mega and want to make the switch to another company. How can I make the switch? Any companies to stay away from etc would be appreciated.

    Several posts on here yesterday about Balkan Express in Ft. Worth.
    Here's the website > Balkan Express LLC
    One driver posted that he pulls dry vans 48 states. Said the trucks are loaded with driver comfort amenities.

    If u want a challenge and a lil work outside ur truck then come join the darkside and hook ur truck to a flatbed. Everybody wants to be a car hauler until u got to load all those friggin cars and winch them down. I guess u could say the same about flatbed, everybody wants to be a bedder til u got to tarp in a 40mph windstorm . im sure in dallas there should be plenty of jobs in both fields

    Come to the dark side. We have cookies. Lol only thing I can say about flatbed is i wish i would have started sooner. Its diff ballgame than dryvan or reefer. But i enjoy it. Especially when i get to haul the big shipments. :)

    What is this "tarping" of which you speak?

    Go lazy flatbed and hook a conestoga!

    Idk lol is it hard to back up with one of those on ur trailer?, i like being able to see over the trailer when getting into tight truck stops or docks. It does look like a good time tho , i did see a couple guys chipping ice out of the rails up at a steel mill this past winter, so iguess it aint all good lol

    It doesn't, I missed the car hauling part. I just read the part that you want out of reefers.
