Hello All
We started our own business with a 35ft hotshot setup and 1 driver with 20 years CDL. We enjoy the flexibility of a flatbed and recently purchased a semi tractor with plans to purchase a 53ft flatbed. We are having g a hard time finding a flatbed rental. We purchased the 35ft flatbed outright and would like to trade up. If we can trade up, we may just purchase the 53ft outright, as well. If we can't trade up, we want to rent a flatbed until we ate ready to purchase our own.
I'm the meantime, we leased our driver and tractor to AMX but we still have our active MC# and our 35ft hotshot flatbed. Not happy with this lease situation. Nothing like working for yourself.
Welcome the advice and thanks in advance.
