Pros
I ran Flatbed NE Regional dedicated account. I was given a New 2016 Freightliner with a flat screen TV and directTV. I was home every Friday like I was told I would be. I left usually at 4Am on Monday. I never had to wait longer than an hr for a load.the pay wasn't bad at all.
Cons
Let's start with orientation in Nashville. WTF?? Organized chaos at best!! That hotel was Nasty!! They bring in way to many drivers at one time. The flatbed training is a JOKE! If you don't tell the instructor to shut up about his stories you won't learn a thing. He will stop teaching to BS with any driver that comes in and here we go, more stories! When you get your Driver manager you gotta let them know how you run. I run hard and expect to keep moving. Be clear about what you expect. I did short runs to help my DM only because she kept me moving. I'm not gonna bash the company as a whole because the upper management generally cares and will do whatever to make you happy. It's middle management that destroys the company.
