Chase, Central Oregon is a good solid flatbed operation. You should be able to do real well there. Just keep a great attitude and be serious about taking care of your freight and your customers.
I think i have the attitude covered, i did some flat bedding in the army, but with ammunition and heavy equipment mostly. i explained to the recruiter, i never lost anything off my truck in the military, and it may not count , but on the weekends i help my father in law tarp and strap his loads down just to give him a break, i like the active lifestyle flatbedding presents to me and it gives me a chance to get out and get some experience. i had tried getting on with heavy haul or a specialized carrier but not having DOT experience really hurt me , thank all you guys for what you do on this forum and out on the road, and like the transportation corps says, WE are the Spearhead of Logistics
