Looking for a flatbed company that has a reasonable lease purchase option with the ability to choose my schedule/pick my loads and run 7 days, and be off 3-4 (I have family medical obligations every other week for the foreseeable future) maybe some local loads.
I'm currently a company driver, but the money is not very good where I'm at (less than 900 a week) But I'm very limited on company jobs I can have due to my weird schedule accommodations. I don't mind running. I'd stay out weeks at a time if I could. So either this, or being an O/O (leased out to a carrier) is my best options for flexibility. My money situation is not bad. I don't have any debt, my total bills every month are around $1300, credit is over 750.
I currently have over a year of experience, I have all my endorsements (including Hazmat) and no restrictions. So feel free to drop whatever companies you all like! Thanks all for the help

I ran for dsv road transport out of missoula montana... I have no idea if they offer the lease purchase anymore.. i was successful with it and know other guys that were as well.. that said i would not recommend it, you will be money ahead buying a truck and leasing on... They were a decent company when i was with them. You can work with whoever you want and run your truck however you see fit.. i left there end of 2021 , dont know how much things have changed since then
Walk Among Us, OlegMel and AppalachianDruid Thank this. - 
	
	
Thank you buddy
yeah I’ve been debating on going back and forth with buying my own truck and leasing onto Mercer (since that would help a lot of the overhead cost) or lease purchase. Still just reviewing my options right now. My job currently just isn’t sustainable, I can’t even put money into 401k or insurance because I’ll only get like $400 a week lolWalk Among Us and D.Tibbitt Thank this. - 
	
	What is your location? if you want to get into the business and want to do flatbed, mercer is an option, so is landstar, admiral merchants, dsv, and a whole list of others . Just spend some time doing some researchAppalachianDruid Thanks this.

They have some nice new flatbeds,$775 a month and $130 for their insurance.
Best if you owned your own equipment already.AppalachianDruid Thanks this. - 
	
	Yeah Mercer is who I want to go to eventually. The plan is to buy the truck soon, just making sure I get a good deal and good condition truck that’s not breaking the bank.
