Bruenger Co Lease

SO can you make pretty good money even though you are leasing a new truck

 

Depends on what you call good money. My husband's checks (before tax) have only averaged $1200 the past three weeks, and an average of 2500 miles. It would be better, but loads out of Texas pay terrible, like $1 per mile or less to the truck (after Bruenger's cut). Even with those low rates out of Texas, he's averaging around $1.40 a mile to the truck. He just needs to run more and not be sitting for half the week waiting for loads.

 

Wow that's not good guess that is something to consider living in houston. ..guess getting out of town would be my problem then getting better loads elsewhere

 

Go to work for them as a company driver to see how they operate. Don't jump right in to a lease or you are going to be disappointed.

 

Another crappy week. By Friday morning, he will have a whopping $3389 gross BEFORE Bruenger's 30%, so...yeah. After fixed costs and fuel, doesn't leave us with much. They are supposedly trying to find him something for after he drops this load. I'm not holding my breath. Preplanning is not something they seem to like to do, which is our biggest gripe because he wastes half of his week sitting and waiting for a load.

And they shorted his settlement again. FSC being less than his confirmation. He already messaged his recruiter and told him he's not sure how much longer he can stay with Bruenger if this is how it's going to be.

 

@gjcarr03 , can't he find his own loads?? Might have way better luck doing it that way.

 

He's been trying, but they still have to approve them.
