Is ATS transportation a decent company to lease onto?

Hello all! To cut down in the nitty gritty, I have been wanting to go the way of OO for a while now. But I am stuck in how I want to proceed forward.
My goals are as follows:
1: Become an Owner Operator eventually (yes I know leasing a truck is technically not that, but its a step in the right direction).
2. Get into heavy haul/Oversize.
3. Don't fumble it.

Now for some background, I went through training passed, got my cdl, and got my company truck last June (June 2024). I am a flatbed driver by trade, however I feel with my current company that I have reached the ceiling for what I can achieve and I wish to expand out further to gain more knowledge and experience. The small OD loads my company does have us haul (mainly 10ft 3in steel plate) does bring some satisfaction, but nothing at all like what I am wanting. I want to haul big, Tractors, Combines, Mining Equipment, 500,000+ lb pieces of machinery/equipment eventually. Right now it just feels like I am playing pretend at being a Truck Driver.

Now for what I am trying to achieve. Im no fool, sometimes not the brightest porcupine in the prairie, but in general not the worst. And I know that if I was to just go out and purchase my own truck I would fail, I may have some of the skills to throw straps/chains, but I currently posses none of the skills and no-how to start my own business, run a business, let alone try to go Oversize with essentially no experience. That to me sounds like a quick way to die.

This is where I found ATS lease program might just be my nack that I need. Things I know so far:
1. It is a two year lease program, with a 1 year walk away clause in case I am not up for it, and or doing poorly. Which honestly sounds like it might save my behind if I get in over my head. After two years they offer to buyout the truck.
2. In case you do fail but wish to remain with the company, they do offer immediate employment as a company driver, and switches you to a company truck. Which in my eyes, at least means there is some money coming in.
3. I have read about this, but I do not know if its true. But from what I read, they pause the lease payments if the truck is in the shop and not making money. Which if true, sounds like a pretty good deal.
4. This is just an extra bit of information I found out from talking to them. But if lets say you do buyout the truck after 2 years, and after 4 years you get to a point where you need a much heavier duty truck (3rd drive/lift axle on the tractor kind of truck), then they will offer you to lease one of those. And you can attempt to sell your current one, or just put it in storage. Im not sure if it is a pro or con, but it is just good to know.

This is where I come to you guys, I just wish to know your thoughts on this, if you think its a good idea, bad, just plain horrible, etc. I just wish to get my toes dipped in the water, just to know how it feels first before I decide if I like this pond. Also if we have any ATS lease drivers in here, I would love to hear your experiences and thoughts!

Looking forward to the all information that you guys can throw my way! Cheers!
