New Drivers Do Not Sign That Lease Contract

I wish there was a way to get the word out more about this site. Alot of really good information about lease/purchase options on here.

 

I think the term "Lease Operator" should be referred to as "Fleece-Operator", as it's just another black-hole scam designed to suck the mulla from your wallet to someone else's wallet

There are so many ways going this route can screw you I won't even begin to get into them, as those ways are more than adequately covered here.

I would sum up the average Fleece Operator (FO) agreement as being nothing more than a way a company can pass off its expenses and risk onto the driver. This may take the form of an FO driver being saddled with maintenance expenses. It may also take the form of an FO driver being the "go to" guy when it comes time to divy out the unprofitable runs. Such runs may also require lots of hassles, such as waiting at docks for long periods.

If you, a fleece operator driver, find yourself being your company's whipping boy, what will you do? Quit? Sometimes you are handcuffed to the agreement and won't be able to quit, unless you want to lose big money.

One thing is for sure--if you are an FO driver and your run is profitable, you will be taken off said run and a company truck will be put on it. Your job will be to take the crappy, low-profit runs. Kapisch?

Don't get sucked into the Fleece Operator bottomless pit, boys and girls.
