I just want to say I enjoy the content. I’m LP. So mostly everything you said your right and I agree. However the only thing that isn’t correct… you don’t have to do a 3 year lease. Example I did 1.5 years, but my truck is a 2019 with 520k. At the end of my lease it’s 5k buy out. I do like the content… thank you for it, I watch to lean you’re guys side.
Thank you and yes I definitely don't know all the details of the LP program so feel free to comment on any of my videos about it, I get asked a lot of questions about it that frankly I don't have the answers for but I'm trying to get them for the guys interested in the LP program as best as I can
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 I’d be happy to be a resource. I’ve been driving 4 years; Now I’m doing LP. I’ve so far this is a good deal to me. I just didn’t want to get my own truck without a taste of the business side; and well rates are great at the moment; I wouldn’t buy a truck right now. I also do things slightly that is way different then a normal LP. AKA I saved so I can pay my own fuel. So I get cash back for fuel on my credit card; plus Mudflap app savings. I just pay it off every week. So there is stuff like their fuel card I only have 4 weeks experience with so I know very little. I think fuel going up is going to kill an LP that dosnt save right. Being limited to loves .35 to .80 more per gallon is crazy to me.
Your smart! No way would I buy a truck right now!!! Just wait, you and I both know these rates will drop back to $2 a mile or a little under and then it's game over for these guys that are buying these absurdly overpriced trucks!!! They will be put of business it's a mathematical fact, I keep telling guys don't do but then they do it anyways🤔 Any ways chime in anytime and I hope to meet ya sometime out here...
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 thank you. I have a TH-cam channel that I’m vloging my journey (not this one). I’m not saying I work for CRST. It’s more for people to see what works for me and what doesn’t as lease purchase. If I fail people have an idea what doesn’t work. If I succeed then people can mirror that or improve . What company I’m with shouldn’t matter. However I would be holding back if I didn’t say your videos played a roll into me researching CRST. So thank you so far 😀
I’m glad I found this video thinking making the move man from company reefer truck driving to flatbed with this company. I’m gun ho lol with a great work ethic.
A great work ethic will take you places no matter what road you’re on Best wishes to ya on your journey and I hope you kill it, let me know what f I can help, the recruiters all have my phone number and my permission to give it out to anybody who ask for it so feel free to call if you have questions
I have no idea, but that might be true because they’re new when you get them and they would be used. If you walk away, talk to your recruiter I’m not sure on those details
I'm not sure you'll have to check with CRST on that, I don't know all the in's and outs of the LP Program because I've never done it or any other LP Program... Best of luck to you and hope to meet ya out here sometime....
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 Ha thanks alot I'm going to be driving for the family dollar account for a few months, in your opinion could a guy bring home $2500 a week doing lease purchase flatbed with crst?
We’ll that’s what they say but I have seen a lot of trucks that are older than 20 years old so I think there are workarounds for the right guy’s, call Tonya in recruiting because if anybody can get it done she can😉
@@j.wright1116 I believe CRST'S LP Program on the Flatbed side is as good of a LP Program as you're going to find, you will have the tools you need to make Good money so if your work ethic is good you will kill it lif Not you will fail... At the end of the day it's going to come down to working hard and believing in yourself for the most part, but this is also a business that you will be running,you're no longer going to be just a driver and a lot of guys can't manage the business end of trucking and need to just be company drivers, and there's nothing wrong with that....
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 yeah business management is key…. They read me off 3500-4500 take home each week after deductions I think that’s a pretty good stretch and kinda hard to believe.
Your content is Great, just got hip to you!!
Excellent video !!
Great video
Yes it helps and given us some direction
I couldn’t agree with you more. Been out here since 1976. Bought first truck then. Still out here. Getting ready to retire.
Thanks for this video god bless
Lol, yeah do appreciate your insight I could tell you a straight shooter 👍🏽
I’ve been driving roughly 5 years now and feel from experience that I’m ready to step into being a owner operator
Boy you are hilarious with the inmate numbers
I’ll be heading to crst in Jan as a lease purchase. Planning on running my butt off
How is it going so far with the LP?

Just started CRST trucking, only a month in but I want to try the lease purchase program at 9 months and somehow get into the flatbed
Talk to Tonya in recruiting,she'll tell ya how to go about it🙃
Getting into it. What are some good lanes to run? Do you think it's better to do a short run or long run?

th-cam.com/video/PC0Ux6AjQD4/w-d-xo.html
Do they still say if you walk away you still have to pay 2500 for chains, straps, bungee cords,etc if you walk away from the lease
I have no idea, but that might be true because they’re new when you get them and they would be used. If you walk away, talk to your recruiter I’m not sure on those details
Do they only run flat bed for lease? Never done flat bed before
Not sure actually call recruiting
Lot of loads on the load board?
Always
When you do a lease with flatbed are you married to a trailer or you doing drop and hooks?
I’m not sure with the lease purchase program, but in general there’s not much drop and hook going on in the flatbed world
HA GOOD VIDEO IM STARTING WITH CRST NEXT WEEK, CAN I PERSON PAY A TRUCK OFF EARLY
I'm not sure you'll have to check with CRST on that, I don't know all the in's and outs of the LP Program because I've never done it or any other LP Program...

@@davidrhine3264 easily..
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 nice thanks man drive safe
Is it worth going over there 2023
Yep still good
Let these 4 wheeler deliver the things they need daily
I think I read your truck can’t be older than 20 years old. Is that correct?

@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 thanks. I don’t think I’d go older than 20. I’m considering switching from TMC later this year depending on truck prices
What’s the avg take home in the flatbed Lp
I have no Idea I'm not in the LP program, contact recruiting on that they may have some numbers for ya
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 yeah I did, but you know how the butter it up to get you into the door
