Flatbed Lease Purchase for weird schedule

Stepdecks paid a little more than flatbed.If you can find a decent stepdeck for less than $775 a month you'll be in better shape.

 

Ain't no way I'm tarping loads for $2 a mile

 

I didn't lease a truck from Greatwide, but I did lease mine to them for a short time. I can say in my case at least that they sent all the stuff to put on the truck to me overnight. I didn't have to go to any place for an orientation other than my computer at home. Greatwide is agent based. If you go this route, I would try to talk to as many agents as possible. You could be domiciled to an agency, or run the central dispatch board. When I was there, the load board available to central dispatch operators was pretty dismal. Most of the time the loads that were posted were inaccurate or posted when they shouldn't be, meant for drivers of the respective agency that were domiciled to that agent or agency. I also didn't do flatbed there, I was dry van, but I believe flatbed would have been better with an agent who hauls CAT for example.

If you end up domiciled to an agency and want to switch to another it is possible to do. But the agency you are domiciled to would have to "release" you so you could go to the other agency. In my case, the agent always agreed to my change. My experience with them was from 2023. Things may have changed since then as far as the way the operations are.

 

Good luck.It’s always baffling to me how some people think.Go in debt for a truck payment and think they can work less then they did without the debt.
