Whats your plan Gears? Leasing on to someone?


I've been looking into my options. May lease on to a company but am afraid I won't have as much control if I do so. Was thinking also about using a broker I know or using Landstar. Decisions decisions.....

No flatbed experience, so either dry van or reefer

 

If you got your own authority you can do whatever you want. I had absolutely NO flatbed expierence. Been doing it now for 6 months. Did not even know how much equipment I would need! Got all the information I needed from the forums on this website. I have hauled lumber, containers, container chassis, a 35' 44,000lb machine that pressed artillary shells up until the learly 90's, decking, joist's, rebar, cardboard, and the list goes on. Have not hauled coil yet! Flatbed takes a common sense approach. I like it because of the physical work involved. 99% I am usually in and out fairly quickly. I usually add extra chains or straps when I am not sure about a load and its works out fine (knock on wood). If I have never hauled somthing before I will pick the brains of other drivers waiting with me on how they will strap or chain down, or I just watch how they tie down while I am waiting in line.

Let me know if you want any info.

 

Hi Folks. Newbie here.

I went to driving school with Pharm in November '08 in Charlotte. During a visit back to the school, I was re-connected with him. I've been following this thread, trying to catch up, but from what I gather, I gotta say, what Rob is doing is fantastic and he is very lucky to have you guys watching his back. What a great group. I spoke to Rob a moment ago and he said the same thing; "never woulda made it without those people helping me..."

Rob thanks ya and I thank ya for being so generous.

See ya on the road!
Jim

 

You bet I'd like more info on your flatbed gig. I want to exhaust all options before making a decision. Any info you can forward would be great. Since I'm a youngster here and don't post a lot, I wasn't able to PM you so I'm using the forum....

 

The Purple Hippo Truck runs again...... A few more little things to do but, that will wait until Rob gets here to do a little "On The Job Training".

 

YOUDAMAN!!!

 

WOOHOO
