More-so the flatbed part. Told me everyone should just do Dry Van because it's easy. My first question was why he still drove flatbed after 25 years of it for which he basically said he was used to it. The reason I say it makes me want to do it more is because people have such a subversion to it. It's like being told I can't do it etc. Maybe I'm just naive or something.

Went to Wal-Mart and got to chatting with and come to find out he's been driving flatbed for 25 years. Naturally, since I'm heading off in a week to learn to be a flat-bedder, I asked him if he had any advice. Only advice he would give me is don't do it. I understand it's a rough job and what-not but this makes me want to be a truck driver even more. Why is " don't do it" such a common response?

I've already taken the drug/ hair follicle tests so all that's let is for me to go up to Marshfield for training.

What companies offer this but pay you while you're in school? I know Rhoel does but are there any others. I'm trying to do as much research as possible and not wanting to go without a paycheck for weeks on end. Any help would be appreciated.
