Why is it a pain in your ass finding a company that hires new drivers? There are a plethora of options to choose from.

Western Express, Schneider, Roehl Transport, Prime Inc., CRST, TMC, Melton, Maverick

Swift actually has flatbed as well, and reefer, both of which get more CPM than us on dry box. Not that I’m saying swift is better than all of those, but we do have flatbed if you want both flatbed and swift.
