Something that kind of falls in to the back ground is this fact "The Company is only interested in moving freight and making money at their advantage" In the end no matter what status driver you are working for a company all end up with the same wages.
-
You are right in one regard, "Nobody has to do lease purchase." I disagree when you say "if your willing to risk it, then be willing to put a few thousand away and buy your own....." Doing that is a FAR greater risk than leasing. A smart hard working driver can make very very good money leasing. -
Rti is a ripoff it took one week for me to see that from a 4 day $2350 paycheck i made $398 that's the first week with no truck payment and they don't have the trucks they advertise they use leased trucks they don't even own the 2012 Cascadia they gave me as a temporary truck got 4 mpg when i complained i was told that's the best those trucks get WTF i left at the end of the first week knowing if i stayed I'd be in the hole every week

Is poke to a recrutier a week or so ago...he told me that after truck payments, fixed costs, and fuel, I could expect to bring home $1000 - $1200 a week....not for me. You still have to withold taxes and pay a CPA...that ties up at least 30% of that...so you would in essence, make less than a company driver.

I figure $0.65 for fuel
$0.15 maintenance
$0.20 house bills and health insurance
$0.15 retirement
$0.15 truck replacement
so at a $1.40 driver is earning $0.10 in walking around money per mile. -
I really wish people who don't support drivers who want to learn about truck leases would stop saying that buying a truck will remove all the challenges and almost guarantee success. We get it; you don't like leases. Allow others to have an opposing view, please.
evilmonkey Thanks this.
