TMC gets loads out of CT and MA. Most of the time it was Nucor with wire mesh or coiled rebar called slinkies 'cause that's what they resemble. The mesh was a PITA to secure. No matter how tight the straps were it still wobbled and tilted forward a bit. In MA shingles out of the Norwood area were often available. It'll depend on where you live if the dedicated routes will be beneficial to you.

Looks like my return to driving is going to be delayed a bit,after talking to several companies the consensus is that I take a complete driving course at an accredited driving school :cry: The one bright spot here is,that my former school is willing to let me take the full course for half the cost of tuition the whole course will be driving only, no classroom.
So anybody out there in the same situation as myself, be prepared to go threw the same scenario!

:lol: Flatbed is an EXCELLENT choice. But don't believe that
horse manure about Combined being the easiest.
They also haul LOTS of glass. Easiest is prefabricated concrete panel
closely followed by stone. And as a bonus, you never have to
tarp those things.
