Joanna, I've met a few lady flat-bedders out here. I've met at least five ladies working for the same company I'm with, and I remember meeting a real short little black lady that worked for Jordan. I don't know if you've seen any posts by StarCar, but she is one of the moderators and she was a flat-bedder. So, there definitely are some ladies out there doing this, but not a whole lot. I see no reason you can't do it, but there will be days that are challenging.

Great, good to hear about the other ladies out there, especially other shorties. I'm thinking about going with Western if the refresher course works out for me. So far they are the only company I know of that offers that.

As far as being out in the weather and climbing around on the truck, as long as I have the right gear I'm guessing I'll be ok most of the time. It's all about have the right tools for the job, right?

There is an old Swedish saying: "There is no bad weather, only bad clothing."

So true!

Another saying that my Mom used a lot was: "It's easy if you can do it and hard if you can't."

Just a redneck way of saying "It's all relative" I reckon.

Any job is do-able if you have the right tools and the right mindset. :-)

Brand new 2015 Prime flatbed truck

This is mine 2015 Evolution. Prime has a refresher, 15000 miles with a trainer. It's takes about 3.5 weeks driving as a team.

Ohh, nice! I love black, red and chrome together. Good to know Prime has a refresher course, too. They seem to pay well and have nice equipment.
