I got a great deal on 2013 660 Kenworth and want to lease it on to someone like Mercer or Landstar but I don't have the required 1 yr minimum experience. Paid cash for truck and have gotten my ein number and business checking accounts which I've funded for maintenance and expenses. Picking up the truck on weds and will bobtail it home.
In first 8 months driving otr, no delivery failures and passed all dot inspections 100%. No incidents/accidents/duis/speeding or any other tickets on my mvr.
I have twic and passport as well as hazmat, tanker and doubles endorsements
Is there any good flatbed companies that will take my truck and I on with only 8months experience or will I need to park the truck and finish out a year as a company driver?
Thanks
8 months Flatbed experience, who can I lease on to with my own 2013 660 tractor?

Less than one year can be a problem.
Check if Fikes Truck Line or Waggoners Trucking Co. can help. -
Less than a year of experience is a tough one to overcome. Most insurance companies require two years in the last three before they will allow you to be added to their policies. You might try someone like Schneider, they are self insured and may be willing to give you a shot. Good luck to you!
-
why mention you have less than a year? now it's on here & a matter off public record. some would of just stretched the truth on the 8 months & put down 1 year. good luck.
-
you might get away with that with a smaller company. but the bigger ones. will see how much experience you have. by looking at your mvr and dac. and work history to which they verify.

Why would anyone with only 8 months exp buy a truck.Im sorry but are you not doing this all backwards.The least you could have done was decide on a carrier before you bought a truck.Thats crazy funny man.

Some of these need a year, but doesn't hurt to open the door of communications. Any insight to any of these or other ideas where to put it?
