When I was training we had a 3000 mile load and several over 1000 only 2 under 1000 miles. But we were running like a team. After a few months running solo I will know for sure. I think I'll be alright.

The recruiter from Stevens said that flatbedding is a limited job that their average length of haul is never longer than a reefer are dry van , he says that flatbedding is not a recession proof job, he kinda makes it seems like flatbedding would be a bad choice over driving reefer or dry van. But I'd rather find out on my on flatbedding is what im more interested in than reefer or dry van i must admit he had a pretty good sales pitch but he lost me when he say he had guys making seven figures working for Stevens me personally i couldn't imagine making seven figures an be working for somebody else i would have been struck out on my own.
