    Maybe there's hope for you after all....

    I'm sure they pick the easier stuff for the green horns...

    So your saying you got a guy? Get 3 more. The one thing about being a flatbeder is you can never have to many eyes or opinions. Just be careful on the ones you let lead you.

    My load securement mentor would have me send him pictures of my loads then he would give me ideas on how to secure them. Good guy, no longer in trucking, but he's always there if I have questions

    Not sure if Melton does this or not but when I worked for Maverick they encouraged (though it was not required) experienced drivers without flatbed experience to go out with a trainer for a week or two. Might be worth asking Melton if you can do this or not.
