After being away from them for nearly 7 years I am buying a new home away from home and once again leasing on.
Found a gently used/aged/pre - owned '99 Pete 379 here in the Denver area. It was like a puppy dog and followed me home.
After talking with NJ and getting the paperwork done, I should be good to go pretty soon. I have not asked her, but is there a orientation located closer to Houston than OKC?
Heading back to Malone

I'm going to Malone as soon as I can this month (April). I'm looking forward to it
-
I was leased on to them in '06-'07 and loved it. It will be as good or as bad as you choose to make it. You have complete freedom and control, some people can't handle it. They will not put up with folks that need to be guided every step of the way. Keep open lines of communication and you will do fine.
I liked it enough to go back these years later.screamin eagle Thanks this. -
Very encouraging to see a positive thread I start the end of this month with Malone, I have my own truck, I'm coming from containers and I hate it want a change of pace I don't have the funds to get my own authority so I'd figure I would give this a shot, both my buddies run flatbed and they do well. I'm out of Chesapeake Va and I have orientation in Alabama. Any insight or dos and donts you have please let me know thanks
-
how'd orientation go?
-
I've decided to go to flatbed. Do any of you guys keep your own authority. Is it better to buy a used trailer or rent 1 of theirs?

In this economic climate, I would lease on somewhere that has good contracts and has guaranteed payments. I had my authority many years ago and I refused to do the factoring thing because it was just too expensive. Should not be any need for factoring companies anyway but in a perfect world...enuf said there. If you get with a carrier that has a set percentage that their agents get, you are more likely to come out ahead in the long run. Without that, brokers can charge whatever and leave enuf that will get the freight moved. It is kind of a wash. It depends it you want the headache of your own authority or not.
As to the trailer, again it is different strokes for different folks. If you CAN get a good trailer that meet DOT (and company, if necessary) requirements then you will come out ahead in the long run.
(By the way, don't be fooled by the name. I left Malone last year. Just that's what guys knew me by so I kep it)Excorcist1 Thanks this.
