    I'm not a new driver but I was not sure where to post this. Can anyone direct me (and by anyone I mean a driver) to a good small company that does flatbed and maybe dryvan around Chicago (can be NW Indiana or SE Wiscounsin)? I am looking for someone who can help with maintenance also, since that is probably the biggest problem in the industry when you are an OO. For the moment I am looking to rent the trailer but possibly to buy during next year.

    About myself... 10 years experience over 1500000 miles no accidents. One ticket about 8 years ago, and probably 3 violations total that I can all explain (I wish those violations were tickets - that way I could have gone to court).

    Also if there is place to learn something new I am more than willing (never done oversize or car hauling, and I would love to try)!

    Thank you guys and be safe out there!

    OK, I thought you may get some good information about owner-operators on the site. It's a business website for owner-operators and also has load board information.
    Best wishes.
