Watkins Refrigerated (lease purchase)

I'm confused ... you're heading to orientation with the intention of leasing. But, yet you don't have a solid understanding of what your revenue/cost structure is going to be.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would have presumed you nailed all this down, when you did your due diligence on the company?

 

Yes you took the words right out of my mouth dude however i do wish Jacol all the best, you are after all starting your own business, 90% of businesses fail in the first year so don't fret if it goes down hill if your in the top 10 % that succeed I'll take my hat off to you.

 

I do not think you will have to worry about taking your hat off!

 

What is there pay? Per mile, % and what is your cut if %? Do you get a fuel surcharge? Is it a walk away lease?

Do you know your #s? How much the lease, plates, permit, insurance will be every week? Do you know what your overhead at home is $$ a week? Do they offer insurance or can u get insurance that meets the AHCA minimum standards? What is your business plan? Is your truck pre emissions or post emission? If it is post what year, and what is the maintenance and escrow? You also may want to set an additional .20 cents a mile aside for EGR DPF FILTERS.. Just pray you don't get stuck with an international or Cummings ISX motor..

Don't forget we are coming into the last quarter of the year, and the 1st quarter is usually the slowest quarter for making income.

Best of luck.. But to be successful you better figure out the basics before going!!

 

What could possibly go wrong?

 

Sigh ... Bless yur heart ... good luck to ya.

 

Love this thread

 

Oh for the love of God!!! Why even fart around? Just Lease straight out of the gate. They are supposed to be the best of the best....and there is no way possible you can fail. NONE! Go for it.
