Starting out Flatbed-Women help me
Ha! No Spring Chicken, you say? I'm 50 years old. I've had my class A CDL for 20 years. I'm on my 4 year of flatbedding. Wouldn't trade it for any other work I've done. I hope I never have to bump a dock or swing doors ever again. There's always a way to make things work out. There's no need to knock yourself out.

PETA Wants Roadside Memorial For Chickens Killed In Crash
I like the idea of a memorials, especially in this case of mass killings. What an unnecessary tragedy.
PETA Wants Roadside Memorial For Chickens Killed In Crash
BRYAN (October 9, 2014) The animal rights group the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants to erect a 10-foot high roadside memorial at the site where an 18-wheeler loaded with chickens overturned last month in Bryan.
PETA is requesting permission from the Texas Department of Transportation to place the memorial at the intersection of Highway 21 and FM 2818, the Houston Chronicle reported.
On Sept. 30, a Sanderson Farms truck hauling about 5,500 chickens overturned there when the load shifted.
Some of the birds were killed.
The memorial would bear the inscription, “In memory of the hundreds of terrified chickens who suffered and died at this spot September 30 2014. Go Vegan, PETA."

I've been trucking since 6/96. I went vegan (and quit smoking) about 2 yrs in, after a cancer scare. Eventually, I found veganism to be the most ethical way to live. Being on the road, local or regional, has never been a problem. I live by my values. I have a couple vegan trucker paged on Facebook; Compassionate Truckers and Healthy Trucker Hotline. Visit me there, Feather Su Transport.
Hey everyone. My name is Steve and this is my first post. I'm thinking of getting into this field and have a few questions about food. I am a strict vegan. Have been for three years. On the road, I can see myself packing enough of my own food to keep me sustained and then eat peanuts and other fruits/vegetables from truck stops when my food runs out. My biggest concern is food available at orientation and training. I know they provide food but will they offer food that does not contain any meat or dairy products? For the record, I'm not a lefty hippy tree hugger. I love my guns, my favorite color is camo and I listen to heavy metal. I just love animals. And don't want to eat them. Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
