You don't need high miles at all driver. You ever wonder why so many east coast carriers seem to be addiment about 500-800 mile runs. They pay well. Less miles less maintenance normally. Ever seen companies advertise sliding pay scales. It's not because they want to pay you more for short miles to help your paycheck. It's because the more miles the truck runs the less overall your actually making, if you think with a cpm attitude. Check load boards and see for yourself. The short runs pay a higher cpm per entage than the longer runs. The longer runs only work for the OD loads. Sometimes they don't even pay us well. If they really want you to be successful, why do they restrict your employment options.

Agreed on that one. Thanks for good input. My goal right now is to generate as much income buy my truck cash and turn this one back to quality. I picked a good truck don't get me wrong but all those partner carriers pay bottom dollar. maybe they can add some more.
Not meant for us to maximize our potential
And I do like paper logs.trucklyfe Thanks this. -

I took it to the dealer and they fixed it under warranty. I did not even talk to quality.
Under their 30 day warranty yes I agree that they a hard nut, they want you to push and push and huff and puff before they fix anything.
It takes hours to get to talk with anybody on the phone. It's a tough gig if you get a lemon truck.MayhemTrucking Thanks this. -
The problem with all these no money down no credit check type deals is because of the ease of access, you get so many guys that are not prepared. They are almost guaranteed to fail.
Enough of them did so that Mercer decided they no longer wanted to loss money on more quality trucks. People don't realize just how much money a carrier spends on a new hirer.
Side note where i inject personal opinion: by jumping into these easy to enter lease purchase programs a guy really cheats himself out of the skills needed to succeed in business. The effort, and money management required to build a real down payment and clear up bad credit teaches those skills.landene, BoostedTeg, CJndaTruck and 1 other person Thank this. -
