Leasing to Admiral Merchants
Q: I am considering Leasing on to Admiral Merchants. From my research I believe they do a lot of Step Deck freight which is my preference. I met their people at MATS and a few of their contractors all of which had great things to say about them. I would like to get the opinion of more people with first hand experience with this Company. Do they have lots of freight, Short or long haul, average rates, best areas to be in for freight. I live in North East PA. Do they rent Trailers.
Thanks for your info.
A: Everyone you will talk to are very polite and talk to you like you are a person. Pay like a slot machine. Don't babysit you but will help all they can if you need help. You load your own truck. No dispatch to speak of. Top shelf company.

A: I met a guy at a truck stop who was leased to them. He had a 53' step. Had nothing but good things to say. He runs mostly long haul, some coast to coast. Said he averages 3-4 k take home for 7 days out. He owns a truck with a 2,000 payment and a trailer payment. Hope this helps.
