Best Company to lease my truck onto for flatbed?

I own a 2016 Kenworth T660 (paid off fully)

I have over a year of CDL experience, however I am running into a problem. The main carriers I was interested in getting on with (Mercer and Landstar) won’t take me because my experience is only local/regional. Both of them, and CRST told me that I needed a year of true OTR experience.

my job I’ve had, is normally home daily 3 days a week, out over night for maybe 2, and home for 34 hour reset.

So what are my options? I don’t mind running, as long as I get the freedom to run as long as I want, and take off when I want.

Am I going to have to bite the bullet and go to Super Ego for a year? Any advice would be great! Don’t worry, I’m not in a financial bind, I have a good nest egg right now, and still at my company job.

Oh trust me, I know. Only reason I even considered it, was because they were the only ones so far who would take me

 

Thanks, I debated on it. I just hate door swinging lol
