Dragon just remember its a good thing to have a trainer with a W900 because if you can drive or back that one you won't have a problem with any truck you get. JJRanch.

Glad to hear some good news on central, i'm up to my ears in all the bad stuff. I see that there is a red pete 387, is that a lease truck? If so what trucks are they offering for their lease and what are the payments like? Just askin as much info now before i give them the yes.

I am not a lease op, so you will have to wait for them for actual payment numbers.
They offer a 2 year on the volvo 670's new.
They have T2000s and W900s used that the payments are lower on. You can get leases from 12 months or more on them.
Also new W900s.

In my eyes the payments are very high, I dont think any but the volvo 670 is less than 400 a week. Over mileage kicks in at 2800 miles. Starts at like .05 and by 3200 goes up to .15 cpm.

Driver pay is only .85 cpm, but if you can get good fuel economy you can make some money on the surcharge. It is based on the national average and changes every week. It is on loaded miles only though, unless you are on the coors fleet, they get it for all dispatched miles, including deadhead.

Dragonmatrix, are you in SLC right now? Can you talk to your FM directly?

Sixpack, crossing through on I-70 will get you about 30 mins from my farm, but crossing through on I-25 will get you 5 mins from my farm. Your best bet is to call me when you have a load to Longmont Foods. They will allow you to bobtail out to my place, or I can come down and meet you there.

I was reading about some of you having troubles getting home time.....How is the running in the midwest, Chicago area with this company? I live close to 80/94 which is major shipping lane but curious how this company does in this part...I know I don't tend to see a lot on the roads, but then again, I dont look everyday...
THanks!
