I think that Challenger is a good one for a rookie to start out, I know a lot of people who started out there, and they also haul flats

it is really up to you. If you like to work then do flats as with vans most of the time you just open the doors and back into the dock

I have a cousin down here in the states that is an O/O with Trans X and he is very pleased with the company so far. AAMOF, he just bought another tractor through their services.

Not true. You are supposed to check your load.
