2. whats the best company so start off with to flatbed?
3. whats the best way to get into heavy hauling
OTR and the large companies are the best way to go about all three of your questions right now.
Swift(obvious) has a decent flatbed training program and also heavy-haul divisions located in certain areas.
Then of course there's Prime and their flatbed training division I might be looking into within the next several months.
I would stay away from local driving as they usually take in the pick of the litter, and in my case, was the pitts compared to being away from home(not the pitts).
