Flatbed FAQ

What percentage of your Flatbed loads are tarped?

Percentage of tarping will vary greatly depending on your specific fleet.
Expect to tarp the majority of your loads, unless you’ve been told otherwise.
Great news, though! We have the smaller 4-ft drops, rather than the larger 8- or 10-ft ones some other companies have.
Silver linings, right?

What kind of securement is involved?

Chains, straps, and tarps, depending on the load.
Don’t worry too much about this part; we will cover securement in great detail during orientation.
You’ll get ample hands-on training, and we’ll make sure you feel comfortable with all of it before sending you out on the road!

What are the advantages of Flatbed?

It’s like having a free gym membership on the back of your truck :)
Customers understand that flatbedding requires extra physical work, so they pay us a premium on those loads. Since we pay a percentage rate, we get to pass that increase on to you!

You’ll be paid 27-30% of the load, based on your production.
