Here after a few hours of sleep I will be hitting the highway headed to St. Cloud for orientation on Tuesday morning. I'm going lease flatbed with no prior flatbed experience and first lease...
I plan to do my best to keep this thread updated on my experience with ATS.
Let the journey begin!!

Well after a long day after driving all night to get here, the first day of orientation is over and not sure how I feel about it all yet. Maybe because I was so sleepy and was hard to really concentrate.
I was definitely not impressed with the equipment available to pick from. There is six of us on the flatbed side and we had seven trucks to pick from. I was the lucky person that got to go last
The he seven trucks where:
09 Columbia w/Detroit 527k mi
12 Pete 386 w/cummins 258k
12 Volvo 780 w/cummins 295k
12 Coronado w/Detroit 336k
13 Pete 386 w/cummins 210k
13 Coronado w/Detroit 151k
09 Columbia w/Detroit 395k
by time it got to me, I had the two most expensive trucks to pick from, the 13 Coronado and the 12 Volvo. I got the Coronado.Soule_Man Thanks this. -
How much were the trucks going for as in the payments? Which of the ones would you have picked if u had 1st pick? I think the pick you got was great as it has low miles and great warranty left. Keep us updated. Thanks

If I had first pick I would have took the 09 Columbia with condo sleeper and 395k miles for $292 a week or the 12 Coronado for $390.
tomorrow we sign our leases and get the full breakdown of all our fixed cost, I will let you know the damage tomorrow night.
Overall, I'm impressed with the company and see a future here.Soule_Man Thanks this. -
Any updates over there? I'm just wondering how it is going over there.
