making switch from flat to van

[coole99]

I have been driving a flatbed for a few months now dont mind the work but the pay is not that great. Been offered a job driving vans paying alittle more with less work. my ? is there a big difference from driving a 45 foot skateboard to a 53 foot van.

"Is there a big difference from driving a 45 foot skateboard to a 53 foot van." First I doubt you were "driving" a skateboard, probably pulling it. You won't be able to see the right side of a van with your driver's side mirror when backing. The load securement thing still applies. BOL

i agree, but even if you was dancing around the highway with a skateboard, a 53 van has its own challenge. I went from 53van to 48flats and 45glass trailers. just remeber the swing factor and you will be okay.
