    We are a team looking for a reefer company that has a good lease any suggestions? Oh and we have our own truck not looking for lease purchase.

    Thanks in advance.

    I haven't done it myself but Celadon (Quality) is doing a percentage lease now and they are looking for teams in their reefer division. You might want to give them a call; you just might have something to offer each other.

    I chose prime over cele done because Celadon does not pass fuel discounts on to the Leasers. That's a lot of money left on the table

    Was an outside carrier with prime a few years ago they preach the "big" picture type trucking where you haul .90cpm freight to get to a 1.60 cpm load no thanks.

    Ok FedEx custom critical 65% of the gross never hauled a load under 1.85 to the truck. But they don't have enough work to keep a team that likes to run 6000+ miles a week busy

    This may sound crazy but if a company has true team freight I should be able to gross 7500+ a week easily

    Need a little more info than just rate per mile. Rate is nice but need fuel surcharge, truck payment, insurance and other fees costs

    It's unrealistic to expect 6000+ miles a week as a team at any expedite company.
     
    Erick Evans Thanks this.
