Flatbed work requires skills beyond operating a tractor trailer. Drivers may need to understand cargo placement, securement equipment, load inspections, tarping, chaining, and how different freight behaves in transit. Previous flatbed experience helps drivers bring practical judgment to the additional responsibilities involved with open deck freight.
