Central Lease
Can you really make it as a solo driver. I just want to run solo, no training for me or teaming. I live in the northwest and i see them all over the roads here.

Talk to JJ Ranch and see how he is doing.
He is leasing a new Pete, and running solo. He could tell you what his fixed costs and break even is for each week. He has been going for at least a month now on it, so should have a good idea. I just hope he is putting away 25% of his gross for taxes.

move on, stay company.

Only good owner operator program is LandStar, but you have to be the best, and properly maintain your truck.

When I was leaving central they were introducing the Volvo 780 or something, it was the bigger volvo, they started offering a 1yr lease, so you could "TRY IT OUT", I am guessing this was a genius who came up with this, as the first year in that volvo with that motor, you could expect much lower mpg. My belief is the company did this so they could then have 1yr old trucks, broken in and ready to roll.
