I think that Challenger is a good one for a rookie to start out, I know a lot of people who started out there, and they also haul flats

[classicxl]

it is really up to you. If you like to work then do flats as with vans most of the time you just open the doors and back into the dock

will my self i know theres more money in flats and so on and i don't mind working a little harder to make a little more i mean the more work involed the more money right. its not all about money but is part of it the other is not sitting on my a$$ for 11 hours staright and getting a little work out trying to have some health.

I have a cousin down here in the states that is an O/O with Trans X and he is very pleased with the company so far. AAMOF, he just bought another tractor through their services.

Not true. You are supposed to check your load.

the big reason i want to do flats or traps is i want to be in better health and theres better money.
