Pay by percentage/ pick my own freight ??

So I hear everyone telling me to only go to a lease company if they allow you to pick your own freight (not off “their” load board Schneider/land star) but actually be able to pick off the open spot maker boards . And also that they should pay me by percentage . My question is where are these companies that do this !? I live in Colorado but I am wanting to be otr or regional depending on what lanes are in my area so it shouldn’t really matter where the company is run out of but I would really like to know what companies offer this type of lease purchase program where I can pick my own freight and they pay by percentage?? Any help should be greatly appreciated!! Last but least a little info about me I have 6 months experience otr as a company driver and realize I may need to get to one year before they will accept me on a lease but I would like to start preparing for this now so I’m ready when the time comes in 6 months .

 

Yeah I here you it is hard but I am prepared to wait until my year mark I just want to start doing my research now . And as far as picking off the open boards unless these guys are all lying to me they all claim there’s companies that are allowing to pick own freight off of all the boards ?? In the even this just isn’t true any advice on what company I should go with if I have to pick off of thier boards ? I need to make about 4K a week after deductions to make this work for me and my family I have heard Schneider is the best because of the clock and go system and no dealing with brokers plus they allow you to get trucks directly threw them with no credit (mine is around 610 right now ) I’ll probably have around 3k to 5k to put towards the truck at the time I have my year of experience..but with that being said any advice on what company to go with for the beginning going into lease opp?? (One last thing my end goal is to get my own authority one day but I have been told to get my feet wet and learn the business by starting with a lease under a company and then do that for one year and then go out on my own and try and play with the big boys haha ?? Is this the best way to do this and if so where should I start )??

 

So what are some companies that I can lease with that will allow me to pick off the dat,123... and other load boards ??

 

Right I’m aware I’m going to have to get a year in before I actually start applying but just trying to start planning and preparing no is all ..

 

Yeah my end goal is to definitely get my own authority but I’ve been told that with one year or less of experience that I wouldn’t be able to find insurance for one and also it would be much harder to finance a truck . As well as the cost of filling and getting everything set up . So I’ve been told that I should start by doing a lease purchase and learning how to run my own business and then once I’ve done that and have some more time under my belt then try to go out on my own ?? Do you think I should skip this step all together then ? And if so how much money (ball park) will I need to have to get a truck and file and everything else that comes along with it ?
