Back on the road. Lease purchase with JB Hunt

Hi. I did do dart twice and so far I must say my experience on the road with them was more pleasant but that's because their obc wasn't such a pain in the neck. It seems they did very little micromanaging and I liked the way you got daily charges instead of by the week. Plus you can get paid the minute you deliver and scan. They provided more tools to do the job than JB so it's perfect for 1st time out. You have to watch highway sales. They will try to put you in a truck they're trying to get rid of first. So be wise to that. Finally there is a balloon payment at the end which they will refinance if you choose.
I think dart pays a little less per mile than many other lease purchase deals but all in all I would highly recommend them if it's your first stab at it.
Lots of luck and let us know how it goes.

 

Random thoughts. You know it's time to do your laundry when you select which underpants to wear the way Mel Gibson selected his socks in lethal weapon 1.

 

Try not to think about.

 

Lol. Maxine is my role model.

 

Busy weekend. Picked up my trucker puppies from the kids. They're happy to be on the road again too.

I got my settlement from my first week running. Only 2200 miles. Much less than I hope to run regularly but there were a lot of snafus. I got a bunch of cruddy messed up loads but I think I got a good fleet manager and I'm betting he will help me get a rythym going. At least this week I will start out from a 34 hr reset.
