Less with Lessors

Lessors Inc,out of Eagan Minnesota..

They are a smaller company,with about 200 trucks,and 5 or 6 dispatchers.They have good equipment that is well maintained.
They run Cascadias,older Columbias with tri packs and EZ Pass.They pull newer 53 foot reefers.

They just don't have miles.The benefits suck too.I'll touch on that later..

I ran mostly from the yard in Mn to points east.A lot of times you go to Front Royal Va,where you will often sit for 2 days waiting for a re-load.

They also run the hell out of the east coast too.So if you like Philly and Queens,grocery warehouses, I-95,then you'll love these guys. It never bothered me much.Miles are miles.

They were good for a while but then went completely downhill after they bought a company in Florida.Since then,miles went way down,to 1,700 -1,300 mile weeks,sometimes not even that.

The benefits are a scam ,and what they are doing is probably illegal.They wont tell you until you get to orientation,but you have to run 10,000 miles a month to be eligible for benefits.Seems easy enough,but not if your sitting for days waiting on a load.So,after not reaching 10,000 miles for 3 months in a row,you will get a letter sent to your house,telling you that since you didn't make the quota,you lost all benefits,vacation pay,and are not eligible for a raise.Of the all the time I drove there,most months I didn't make the quota.

Don't look for a dime in detention pay either, because you won't get it,regardless how long you sit on a dock.They don't pay it..Layover pay will become a staple of your income, but first you have to sit a day before they ok you for 50.00 bucks ..

Hometime isn't bad if you can afford to take it.They give you about a day for 5 days out,and are usually pretty good at getting you home.

Dispatch is freindly and mostly laid back.Payroll is accurate.

They let you log however you want,and when they have miles,they never say anything about running as long as you want.They ask that you log a fuel stop the SAME DAY you fuel.That's about as strict as they are in safety/logs.

All in all,it wouldn't be a bad company if they could at least keep you moving.But when you take everything into consideration,low miles,no benefits,no detention, no possibility of a raise,the constant layovers, etc.It don't add up.You just get LESS AT LESSORS.

I can't recommend them,especially if you need health insurance for your family and hope to pay your bills with some regularity...Too dicey there..

 

Duddie,I got your P.M.

Yes,Brian,one of the 2 recruiters at Lessors will run your DAC.

Going by some of the derelicts I saw staggering around the yard there,they don't seem very discriminating.Not as bad as some companies I drove at where the only requirments seemed to be that you have a pulse..

I can't stress it enough..YOU WILL NOT MAKE MONEY AT LESSORS.

If your looking for a N.E. Company,you might think about A.Duie.Pyle.-I think they're OK..

 

I kinda agree.But I wish there was a stronger word than ''suck''..Absolute,useless,incompetent collection of fill in the blank..

I haven't bothered with that.What's the use? But if anyone ever asks me about LESSSORS INC.I want that individual to know,they aren't worth a thimble full of rat vomit.
