Congratulations!! In regards to gloves, I'm a big fan of the Hydra Hide made by Wells Lamont. They're water resistant, last a decent while and also make an insulated version for the winter months. I always keep a couple pair so I can wear one while the other pair is drying. Good luck and have fun.

Thanks Robert B. I was able to find some at a Farm Store.
My first dispatch with my trainer is scheduled. We'll be taking utility truck bodies to Ohio and bringing a steel coil from West Virginia back to Illinois.
With flatbed and curtainside you will eat through gloves. I've got a $95 pair that lasted about as long as a cheap pair. Between bungee cords and straps sliding through your hands as you check them the gloves will get eaten.

Haya, Brandon...KUDOS AGAIN for your successes~!!!
For yourself and the O/P .. have you ever tried these?
Galeton Rough Riders are pretty good; hubby used to pull asphalt tanks (and flats in the winter...) and a fellow ole'timer trucker recommended the Galetons. They were under 20 bucks a pair, so he didn't feel too awful bad when they only lasted a couple months.
On the flip side, I bought him Duluths for Christmas a few years back (Fence menders...they were called!) for around 50 bucks or so... and MAN, they lasted long....months on end.....flats and tanks, though tattered. <<< Until, Einstein he is...left them on the hose/coupling rack, never to be seen again.
The Duluth's are on the birthday list for this year, again! No tanks or flats, but...he loved 'em~! Excellent for landing gears and whatnot, didn't seem bulky either~!
Best of luck... just my two Lincolns~!!

Isn’t that the truth. The expensive gloves get ruined just as fast as the cheap ones from them damn bungies lol.

Waiting for my trainer and I to be dispatched. Got my safety equipment this morning.
I was still retired when I woke up this morning. Now look what I did... LOL
Not pictured are my leather gloves. I'll get a pair tomorrow. Any flatbedder glove suggestions?

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure.
