My adventures at CRST Malone

Not what I read but I guess you and I read differently. Didn't know it was so many smart #####s on here, that can't give a straight up answer.

 

Any current Malone operators still hanging around on this thread?

 

Here we go again.............

 

What I'm saying is do the math Driver. With lease purchase all you're doing is buying yourself a job (a low paying one at that!). You'll never really get ahead. Take a few minutes to do a search here. If you aren't willing to make that simple step you're already doomed. This thread is 100 pages long and it's clear you didn't read much of it.

Even in orientation, you'll be fed so many lies. They make it look real good but it isn't. Lease purchases are in favor of everyone involved except you. You'll quickly see after reading some of the search results that lease purchase is not a sound move. But hey, maybe you've figured a way for it to work for you. I hope you enjoy living off beans and canned tuna fish.

These companies are getting filthy rich off of people just like you who think they can reinvent the wheel. You're not special, you will fail and somehow they'll blame it on you. In reality though, the deck was stacked against you from day one.

 

Thanks for your info, I just figured hey it may beat being a company driver to save up for a truck from a dealer. I know how leases work and pretty much all the schemes they have going on. Trust me I was a l/p driver for ptl, I'm surest can't get any worse than those guys.

 

Hey keep it truckin don't let the hot head a holes on here make the decision for you. The malone lease isn't the best or the worst. It's an expensive used truck but if your looking to use it as a stepping stone toward a down payment or just to make your own load decisions it's not bad. I'm not gonna sugar coat the reality for you. I was bringing home $1700 a week on average and only running about 2000 miles a week. I was able to support a family of 4 better at malone than I ever did at my $.52/mile company job. But it will kick your butt on the maintenance account and in the long run your better off using malones lease as a way to save up for a dealer truck

 

Thanks ratherbfishing, a stepping stone would be all I'm after. At the end of the day truck owner ship isn't a priority for me, it's the cash I make in the meantime is what matters.

 

Btw are you still at Malone?

 

Name calling. Real mature.

 

Don't understand post like yours in aug. you said you were clearing $1200 in the summer months when rates are higher Now 1700 .I guess you most work opposite of others flatbeds where rates fall in the winter months?
