Why Flatbed Driver Hiring is Different in Fort Wayne
Fort Wayne's GM Assembly builds every full-size Silverado/Sierra pickup and drives heavy JIT automotive freight flows on I-69. The Elkhart RV corridor just north produces ~80% of all US recreational vehicles, adding flatbed and specialized hauler demand for frames, appliances, and finished units.
