I killed myself to bring home $900 a week pulling a van. Monday through Friday and it was hell. I was spending 12 hours a week unpaid on docks. I run a dedicated route from Texas to North Dakota. I deliver and turn around and go home. The companies done this for three years and just signed a contract for three more. I'll haul fuel when and if this dries up. Keep looking, you can still make a good living driving a truck.
missouritrucker Thanks this. -

What happens during winter time, what about time off, what about when your truck breaks down.. etc etc
When that truck stops the payments don't stop unlike a company driver.
When the truck break down you're on the hook to be towed and paying for a hotel.. unlike a company driver.
You're the one paying for maintenance etc etc.
So when those things happen which they will because that's life you'll be having to dig yourself out at .90
Plus usually these cheap flease places you're still relying on a dispatcher to give you good runs for your livelihood.
Oh yeah and that .90 per mile that's not gonna be for really mile you actually drive and plus whenever you go out of route you're the one paying for it.
See yet how .90 is terrible?
I guess if someone is happy that's all that matters. There must be drivers happy at CR England being paid .25 because I still see their trucks on the road.
Personally I could never work somewhere where I knew I was being ripped off.insertnamehere Thanks this. -

"Ground control to Major Tom. Ground control to Major Tom" a week and the OP has missed all his check calls to let us know. Should we send out the police? In a week, nothing can be realized, and everything can be realized, but it will be interesting to see how the OP is doing 3 months in if he's truthful. ... it's like waiting on a piece of space junk to fall to earth. You know it's coming, just not exactly where/when.
But the thing is, some are attempting to do similar leases with new[er] equipment and $2k+ monthly payments
It will be especially interesting to see how the 15 cent/mile "bumper to bumper warranty" plays out when it comes time ... and that time will come, probably sooner rather then later.icsheeple Thanks this.
