I agree with That! That is what attracts me to flatbedding in the first place! I can't wait to get started! Plus, the added benefit of being physically fit and healthy.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.

Well 6 month's ago I changed over to being a flatbedder. For 2 1/2 yrs I pulled a reefer.
Now I have to figure out how I am going to secure each load and make it legal. At the end of the day. I know I can look back and know I did something positive. And that I did it safely.
I never got that pulling a reefer.
I do know there is a lot more work involved but it is worth it to me.
So if you want a challenge on every different load. Try flatbedding.

A refrigerated trailer.
