If I refused to work for a company that lies then I'd probably never be able to find a job.

The paid off truck vs the New truck with a payment will always be a fascinating argument. There are successes and failures on both sides. You can have new truck, with a warranty, be in the shop for 2 months as well. Or have 16 year old paid off truck never do much as give a peep.

Anyways the info is all over, like on this forum.. just gotta search.
Jumped on youtube and just saw this for one

For all those interested let me whip this out again
\
and some numbers
Year over year load to truck ratio is down 32%
Rates are down on average 14%, that's linehaul not including FSC.
Broke down a different way here you go:
There's less and less loads, rates are going lower and lower.
That plus Schneider came out and basically said themselves FREIGHT SUCKS and we really don't need anymore drivers.
In my opinion I don't know how anybody can see all this and want to go out and buy a truck now or sign a long term lease unless they're experienced and really know what they're doing. Things are getting worse not better.
You still can do better here than these cheap mileage rate carriers but understand in a crappy market joining now a noob would be against a lot of experienced ICs here whom have studied the system, lanes, customers etc etc for some time. It's tougher for us but experience in the system goes a long way. A noob joining now would be really tough.
Not trying to discourage anybody but people should know what's going on.Last edited: Feb 25, 2016

Im doing ok. My average is about the same, but my revenue is down a little. I blame some of that on the weather. lol. This time of the year has always been slow for me. March through August has been good for me in the past. My last 4 Settlements has been great. I just have to work harder for loads. I hate to say this, but I carried 45,812 lbs the other day. You have to do things you wouldn't normally do at this point in time.
GoGetta07, drvrtech77 and freightwipper Thank this. -

I wouldn't want to be a noob joining now, not with less loads and loads half decent flying off the board in 2 seconds lol. -
I just curious why do you want to lease a truck? What wrong with being a company driver?
