My lease adventure

Good luck and keep making that money!

 

I don't know why we talk about this. These posters are giving us the 100% undiluted, straight truth, we all know that. For myself, I only want loads over 1,200 miles, 9,860lbs, flat terrain, no construction, following winds, and prompt shippers/consignees. Other than that, no deal.

 

Your doing well driver and I will say the only one who does better than you is me . I pulled in 6 dollars a mile loaded or empty , id say that's a little bit better. Butwht sealed the deal home evert night. Start at 5am done by 3 pm., five days a week. Now just broker out the loads and now zero headaches.

 

Slap yourself so you can wake from that dream

 

It's possible. I've seen short haul gigs around major metro areas at $10 a mile or more loaded. Pick up, deliver, return empty and do it again. As many times as you can run it in a day ... great work if you can find it, but boring as hell.

 

Excellent thread! Im looking into a lease with tennessee steel haulers at 75% of load 100% fsc ect... fixed trailer tractor is 725 per week. Yes it is a leasepurchase for truck and trailer. This info is from a lease driver with them now. Pick your own loads or load boards. Sounds good if i can keep my average in the 1.85/ mile range. They have prostars and t660's i beleive. Im leaning toward a prostar with cummins.

 

Good loads who holds the 13% for tax, when you leave if the CO. that are holding that 13% you will be looking for away to pay taxes?
