    I was wondering what type of training they give flatbedders just starting out? I talked with a recruiter at Roehl today and she stated with my experience I would not have to go with a trainer. All my experience has been intrastate though and all double belly dump, and was wondering what type of securement training they give you. I have never pulled a flatbed and would be a bit nervous about making a securement error.

    They have I believe a 3 day course for securement training you need to go through.

    4 days of securement and then a week with a local flatbedder to get some practice. The training really is good compared to what I hear other companies do.

    I was told by the recruiter that with my ten years of driving experience I would not have to go with a trainer, allthough my experience is intrastate and belly dump. Was she lying to me?

    No they may send you with a local flat bedder. They normally send everyone unless your exp flatbedder. I think your recruiter meant you wont have to go out with a driver trainer. Its only a week and they will pay you same as securement training does.

    The way roehl wants you to tarp almost every load it is.
