flatbed companies with lease purchase

Yes they do, unless it's a local delivery type thing and then the money usually isn't too good.
With a flatbed LP you'd have to live in the truck, run every mile you can get, and not be home hardly at all.
Tankers can be kind of boring sometimes depending on what you're doing but most guys stick with it. From what I've seen personally and what I've heard the most bucks and the best working conditions are on tankers.

 

OMG for real?

 

I'm home most weekends made 30k with the company last year started in July now weekend granted isn't Saturday and Sunday night be Thursday Friday or Friday Saturday just depends on how far away I ran

 

Miller Transporters has some type of purchase program.

 

Actually, they do offer a LP: Lease Purchase Program | Success Leasing, INC.

Not sure if they offer it to someone new, might need to complete a straight lease first. I know they don't let you spec a truck until you complete your first straight lease.

It seems the majority of people that I talked to that were still there from "Old Prime" preferred the straight lease. Maybe there was some tax benefit from that route. Or they didn't want to wrench on the equipment...

 

Not true. I'm home every weekend. I'm relaxing at home right now writing this. The key is to find a regional flatbed company. I'm in AZ and run CA, NM, NV, and UT. The farthest I run is Northern Cali, but still home by Friday night or Sat early morning.

 

So much misinformation. Completely not the case. I'm home every weekend. Why would anyone think flatbedders stay out longer than dry or reefers? Flatbedders have a lot of regional work. Receivers are not going to buy drywall, wood, or steel from across the country. They buy regional.

 

What area are you out of??

 

This is not the case for all l.p. flatbed.

ATS has lease and lease purchase. Don't accept new drivers, but experienced drivers without flatbed experience will be trained.
