I've been with Perkins for 2 months and am really enjoying my time with them. They work me hard, but you have to work hard to be successful in any lease-purchase. I love hearing drivers complain about having to work hard. From my 7 years experience in trucking, with 3 companies, I have found out you can be successful in any lease purchase if you make good decisions. It's not easy, but usually the drivers that can't succeed in it are the ones that deliver late, can't manage their time and logs, take long hometime, refuse freight, drive 75 mph and get 5 mpg on their truck.
We don't get the whole story on these boards, so anyone ripping apart a company needs to look in the mirror first.
I am a fan of Perkins. They are a small company. I have gotten to know the owner. He is invested in his drivers. They have good freight and I make about $800/week after all my expenses are paid.
For those of you looking for a solid lease-purchase program, look here. I do recommend this company. I should own my company in 2 more years.
Those of you condemning the company surely didn't do things right.
Good luck!

I get the clue to over $800 a month. I find it hilarious that everyone is quick to throw the company under the bus but what you don't hear is the idiotic decisions the driver made. Like having $600 a month in child support because they can't keep their pants up. Like blowing their money on eating out every single day and spending $300 a week on food. Like not maintaining their trucks. Like going home for 7 days at a time and then getting pissed off because thye don't have a paycheck.
Perkins is a great company to work for. Those of you upset at the company need to stop and take a look at your own decisions. They have 20+ drivers out of their 130 that have been her longer than 10 years. Figure that out.
Sixmark probably hasn't been successful in anything he's done, let alone being a truck driver. So he gets on here and pouts and yet you don't hear about what he did to not be successful at Perkins.
If any other drivers are on here, get one thing straight, the drivers that complain about a company probably are failures to begin with, made bad decisions, and need to get out of trucking all together. It takes good work ethic to be successful and most of those that fail probably don't have it. -

Perkins recruiters are doing damage control here and think they can cover their scam. J.B. is crap and so is Perkins , I do not know why anyone would consider that crappy lying bunch of criminals offers. Trust me its a lie. I am initiating a civil suit against them and would suggest all who have been scammed by them do the same. Its sickening to see hard working people ripped off by this scum, no matter what their Office Fodder try to post here.Truck drivers are not stupid as they may think. Hell I'm joining the Teamsters union I bet they would like to tangle with them? Oh but they have been screwing them to. -

To Ethman, Why do you think making $800/week is good money. I make more than that as a company driver before benefits. I have no risks like a lease payment, broken truck, slow pay, etc. Out of your $800 do you still have to pay both sides of Social inSecurity? Do you pay your own WC ins? How about holiday and vacation pay? Man you are being screwed.
