As some of you know, a few months ago, I took a serious shot at flatbedding. Granted, it was before I got hired on with a major company, but the experience has truly left its mark. I find myself leaning more and more toward going back and finding a position with a flatbedding outfit!
I'd like to hear from other women who have made the plunge into flatbedding, if possible. I know it's hard, dirty, challenging work--I did it. But there was a sense of accomplishment that came with doing it that I haven't gotten anywhere near in either van or reefer...and I'm finding that I've missed feeling it more than I'd ever have believed!
Of course, I'm interested in hearing all answers here. I found flatbedders unusually willing to walk over and lend a hand with a particularly sticky securement situation. That was cool! So, honestly, ANY insight you would like to share here would be appreciated.
I'm actually off for a few days, so I'll be able to get back on here before a whole month goes by!!!
Any thoughts? Advice? I'm looking at TMC very closely, these days...
