Sounds horrible

 

I did the same thing at May Trucking back in 2010. With only one year under my belt, their blue suede shoes sales guy there offered me the opportunity to make some "real money".

I asked for a copy of the lease contract. Aside from finding many substantive, grammatical & date errors, the contract wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

I told him so with a big smile on my face, of course, and walked out

 

You can't say you weren't warned it was coming. Didn't someone here say that Prime is 70% lease op company?

 

From my personal observations and having done a lease op walk away contract for a while, you can make better than employee wages in the right situation. The guys that have an opportunity to train students as L/O or O/O do even better because they are able to capitalize on the extra mileage being paid to the truck in volume.

I was a trainer for over a year, and no offense, it gets really old having someone in your space all the time.

 

Hmm usually they are farther away than that. Who would abandon a truck that close to the terminal and have that put on their record?

And you should have just nodded yes while saying no in that meeting. I was never at a LP meeting, but I think it might be a little early to ruffle feathers. Just sayin'.

 

Better to die on his feet than live on his knees

 

Pick your battles wisely and all that.

 

or at least time them in your favor eh
