From my short time in the trucking industry there are two companies that I respect in flatbedding; TMC who I work for, and, Maverick. There are probably others that I haven't come across. I look at the drivers (mostly how they smell), the tractors/trailers and equipment that the company provides, how well they secure their loads, and how well they tarp. Flatbed Fred is a good example of a superb TMC driver that does it right every time, you can see his excellent securement work here on his web site, http://www.goldiesplating.com/flatbe...ruck_91832.htm Haven't been too impressed with Roehl, Arrow, or Kennedy. (Their drivers smell fine) Prime and CRST seem OK. Like I said I am new and don't know jack.

I wasn't trying to be smart. If you're just getting into this industry you might want to find out things about a company even before you schedule a school date. As von Seggern said, you're lucky to have picked a good company right off the bat. Good luck
