    I know there's quite a bit of good company's to lease to but they require 1yr Otr experience. Do you have a note on the truck? If not you should sit on it for a few months and get the experience and save money In that time.

    Well, no no note, and F that, no offense lol, but I got f&^% royally at the first company I worked for, so I dont trust any of them, atleast its my truck and I can leave in my own truck if it came down to it. there are companies that will hire me to drive there trucks but wont let me lease on with my truck?? Theres gotta be some companies out there that will. I need more than one option, crst will let me Im talking to them right now, there counting my military experience becuase I got documentation, So far no other companies will. Its kinda messed up, the army trusted me to hual milion dollar equipment.

    why dont you look ino getting a trailer and your own authority, right now your options are limited because most o/o companies require some level of experience, costs about 3k to set up your own authority,
