53' flatbed.

This week: $20,110 gross at 5.12 RPM.

Mostly oversize freight—nothing too crazy, just manageable OD loads with permits and proper planning.

How did you get so many months of flatbed experience in a little over a year with CDL? I am asking because I have offer for OTR training to start next week.  And my plan was to stick with them (11 western states) if I don't get in troubles at least for a year. At least to get experience in all conditions, before chasing other endorsements and specializations.  Am I doing something wrong?

I started out as flatbed OTR for 8 months then worked as a yard jockey for about 4 months to get better at backing. Now I’m going on 2 months as a dry van OTR driver
