| What do you want to pull? And where do you want to run? Do you need to run under their authority, or are you going to get all the plates, permits etc., and take care of all the nec. filings? Will you be doing all the paperwork or do you have help? |

| You have more experience than I, but here goes. It sounds like you are in a good positon, no truck pymnt. etc.. This site is great for looking into companies. Landstar is always one that comes to the top of the list. I cant say ive heard anything bad about them. You should be able to have the company take care of the road taxes etc., I believe this is very common. I guess the bottom line is that you should do the research, so the you can figure out what is best for you. A few flatbed co. would be: Maverick, Roehl, Warren(lots of OD), and ATS(who I work for), Decker, Melton,Sammons. For reefer, I have heard good things about Martin, but I have no real experience for you there. Celedon sounds like they have a good program, but I dont know if they have reefer or not. Hope this helps at least a little. |

| I think leasing onto a small regional carrier would work for you.Money is usually better on short haul.Be sure to ask questions about everything.Have an attorney check over your lease.Don`t forget to ask about fuel surcharges.Good luck,its not really a good time to buy a truck now,but when is.Watch your pennies-your dollars will take care of themselves. |
