Thanks for this breakdown!!! I drove for 3 different lease purchases before and drove company. I believe where most of us mess up at is when we come into the lease purchase process thinking we should be making 2500 to 3k a week half of an owner op which isn’t bad thinking only problem is we forget we’re not the owners yet and every one has ups and downs even driving for company my money was never consistent sometimes I’ll make 1550 to 2000 a week sometimes more or less but the key difference you make is 1500 miles for 1800 a week before or after taxes is still better than driving by the mile and as a company driver as a company driver to make the same 1800 check you definitely has to do over 1500 miles in that week 😂 so thx again I’m interested but into the dry van area
Thank for subscribing and being #100. Flatbed is getting ready to kick into over drive with freight. Atleast that is the prediction as of 2/18. Stay Safe
I currently have my class A CDL with double triple and tanker endorsements. I have no tractor-trailer experience. I have 4 years of straight truck experience. How can CRST help me?
what about factoring in your home expenses ie, car note, home bills and credit cards etc... appreciate your videos. am considering the crst lease and have found your videos helpful
Why would he do that 😂he obviously just broke it down for you how much you’ll make in a week considering 1500 miles in a week now it’s what your bills are and your type of lifestyle you live that helps you decide if that’s enough a week for you but it works for him that’s what the video about and honestly if you can’t survive off 1800 per week before taxes or after you need to cut back
going thru prequal with CRST right now, getting on with the flatbed div, what kind of truck prices are we talking? ive seen a few negative videos more positive but one constant is ppl saying they are knocking heads off on used trucks, just wanted to get your thoughts on that.
Scott, I am not sure what knocking heads off is. But I will tell you this. CRST will assign you a truck, from what they have available. When you get to the truck, do a VERY thorough inspection. The truck may not be "like new". However what ever you find wrong, get it into one of the CRST shops. And get the deficiencies fixed. I have 2 shops that I recommend ( OKC & Cedar Rapids) the rest of the shops really DON'T do good work. As for the pricing, that will depend on the truck yr, milage and so on. I would expect to pay around 40k to 50k when its all done. Hope I didn't scare ya off. Send me your recruiters name, I can reach out to them and get you my cell number so you can call me directly to go over your question alittle more in detail.
@@sennetttransportservices9757 I appreciate the reply! And ok that’s not bad at all, just heard a few horror stories, but I have noticed most of the negative stories are pulling vans not flat beds, recruiters name is Sarah Vance
Scott, I will reach out.to Sarah within the next 15 min. So she can get you my number, I hope. Also I will be in ALABAMA during the 2nd week of January. So if your there by then Ill try to get with you.
The math is wrong on 29:24 You made $1,125 in 1,500 miles 1125/1500 = 0.75 You made $0.75/mile.. You divide the income by the miles not the other way around.. Appreciate the video.. Great information! 👍
Good deal thanks for setting me straight. I do need to actually start preparing for these videos. My apologies I do everything from the road at the spur of the moment. No prep no script maybe a few quick noted. STAY SAFE.

@@sennetttransportservices9757 Great Video! Important Question: I started a Brokerage in April. Were you able to Earn Well in Flatbed & still have some time to Broker Loads? I was told Flatbed is daytime & Van can be both. So, should I apply for Van to Drive at night & Broker when I can in daytime? Or, will I have time for Flatbed hours & still make Good Money, since Flatbed pays More? I’d truly appreciate to know how to make Driving & Brokerage work.
Is there a cap on the maintenance that comes out? I was looking at a different company for lease purchase and they take out 6 cents per mile until you reach the cap of $10,000

Great video, thank you for shedding the light on that.
This video made me feel a lot better about the whole lease purchase thing thank you
One of the best instructor to teach you backing.. C1 past student here...
Man that was the best break down I have seen, if a person can’t gasp this break down, just turn the truck and keys in.
Good video I just finished my second lease with CRST Specialized
I assume you are still with CRST ? Is the lease a truly "walkaway" lease do you know ? Thank you
@gavcliff3856 yes and yes

It's all a lie in 2023 and 2024. They don't allow you to make money doesn't matter what you do.

I know a truck stop driver. I been wondering what those drivers are called. I used to say lazy. You named them perfectly. Great video.
Thanks for the comment, stay safe.

Does CRST only do lease purchase with flatbed or do they have dry van as well for lease purchase
Are you still there working for them?
Thanks for the video
In 2024 the balloon payment is $30,000 unless it was a typo on their end
Are you still there
So you’re only doing 3 loads a week?
Good break down
Great video. Question: is it really a ‘walk away lease’?
Yes it is really a walk away lease.
thank you. So no penalties? Not payments on nothing on fix payments stipulated on contract? It is a walk away w/o penalties then?
@@sennetttransportservices9757 how do I get in contact with you? What is your truck number? I am in the same division with you. Let’s touch base
Good info I'm thinking about joining thanks
Do the trucks have APU and inverters?
Mine came with a APU and intverter
Can I be a trainer while LP?
Yes, but I think they’re full of trainers

Does the maintenance account draw interest
Does CRST pay for towing if you need a tow?
The up front cost yes, it will actually come out of the maintenance fund you pay into.

No cap by the time u finish you will have paid $70k and you can’t get any of that back.
