I only have a short time driving and if I ever get back on the road I want to drive for a flatbed company. I have read a lot of stuff about how hard it is and I welcome a challenge. I workout with weights and am pleanty strong enough to lift anything required, I jog so stamina is not a issue either. I drove a reefer the last 10 months and 90% of the time I unloaded my trailer. I like to exercise and workout. My question is how hard is it to remember or learn what strap goes where, how many straps or chains. It seems like there are so many differant types of cargo on a flatbed it would be hard to remember all that is required by law (differant states) that getting it wrong and getting a ticket is pretty easy.
I went to Arrow's orientation and went through the securment training but that was pretty basic. At the end of the week they passed me and said I was ready to go , I did not feel ready. I was a little concerned about knowing enough. Just wondering as I have applied to a few flatbed companies and it looks pretty promising so far. Thanks for any input.
