    I live in the Tacoma Area here in Washington State. I am wondering; are there any flat bed companies here on the west side of the cascades that will hire someone with only 4500 miles under there belt. Hauling dry van that used to work for Swift. Flat bed has always been where I want my career to go with trucking. I've researched a few companies like Roehl, Melton, and McElroy but there east coast companies. I'm looking for something in the areas of:

    Puyallup
    Sumner
    Auburn
    Kent
    Federal Way
    Fife
    Tacoma
    Spanaway
    Bonney Lake
    Orting
    Black Diamond
    Lakewood
    Parkland
    University Place

    If anyone has any input I would appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    -C

    Is that a company that will hire new drivers with low miles, I basically only have 2 months of driving. Technically I drove 95% of the 4500 miles in a week and half at Swift. I drove my ### off for my mentor to find out I got crap for pay. Then left for a few different reasons.

    Yes they hire new drivers & recruit from some CDL schools, including DTS. I don't think you will find any negative posts about them. It's not a so called "starter company" either. Excellent website also.

    Check the trans-system website; it's an umbrella company for 3 trucking companies that hire new drivers, including System Transport.

    You can apply online if you want; then you won't have to deal with that part in the morning.

    I'm curious; is there any other flat bed companies on the west side of the mountains though? Spokane is the east side of the cascades. I wish there was a company on this side I could go too.

    Thanks,

    I know there is a company between Bonney Lake and Buckley on 410. On the left just before Buckley, kind of across the hwy from the carwash. I do not recall the name but if you're out that way you can't miss it. Might try Bill Bremmeyer's up in Ravensdale too, a smaller company but might have something? He is a super good guy to work for. I worked next door and we rented the bodyshop from him.
