Our experience with Success Leasing

Reading "Coastie" ALL THE WAY THROUGH. It's still hard to read 37 pages.

 

I dont know about you guys but i have been with prime now for 6 weeks and i am leasing a truck in 6 weeks i have only brought home approx 2700.00 clear and made over 12,000.00 to my truck and in the last 4weeks i have not had a pay check the freight that is offered only is covering the fixed cost and sometimes barely covering the fuel i have been negative for the last 3 weeks i have tried everything right down to only putting the amount of fuel in the truck to run the load ! all i have been doing is running their loads burning my fuel ! its not me i have only been home for approx 52 hours in the last 6 weeks so im just saying its time i go back to being a company driver!

 

turning in my 5 day notice to return the truck by fax tomorrow!!!!!

 

How do you return a truck by Fax? Do you fax them a picture of the truck?

 

Can't say what's going on with you unless I see your settlements. What was your gross revenue and total tractor fuel cost last week for example?

 

You bring up a 6 month old thread with a lease gone wrong in 07???????? Really? If you are not making it, look at your business model. Head back to Sprimo and sit down with your FM and look at your business and see where improvements can be made. If you feel you are in over your head, then switch back to company. No shame in knowing your limitations.

 

Good luck switching back to company... Apparently its the hardest road traveled... most people do not get back there.

 

I hear the turnover rate is on the uptick. over 60 percent.

 

what TS buffet line you hear that in? turnover is down industry wide and prime too

 

Something here just don't add up unless one of the variables is BS.

Time in Truck 6 weeks
Revenue 12K
Ave Rev per week 2K

if that is line haul then you are under 2K miles a week if that is total rev (icld fuel and other rev) you are under 1750. So there must be some issue as why you gross is so low. How much time are you taking off? Or are you just not being quite factual
