Where's u tankers loading at this morning

If it's cold enough outside it'll start freezing at the internal valve

 

hey so one last question.... I will be a driver trainer with the option a lease purchase (spare me the negativity I have enough of that already) since I'm selling my old truck... quality wants me to haul out of the new north Charleston terminal supposedly running 500 miles around at 1500 weekly plus 75 a day when I'm training someone. I honestly dont know the hometime for them since my main priority is health care instead of paying 1k everytime my son goes to the doctor. Hennif/miller wants me to do a lease purchase 5k down, 615 a week and after 5 years a balloon Payment of 45k but sometime is pretty much when you want. Can anyone direct me hows the hometime for QC southeast even better on that terminal. Thanks

 

615/week x 52 weeks x 5 years = $159,900
+45,000 balloon payment
+5,000 original downpayment
= $209,000 truck

Way better to go company driver/trainer with qc if that lease purchase is your only other option.

 

Thats a Miller lease, Well Heniff but they're still offering it.
Heniff has/had leases on used trucks with reasonable payments and no ballon at the end. 3 yrs lease and truck is yours

 

I know 3 guys did the used lease, it was a mixed bag. All 3 needed work at some point, but that's a used truck for you. 2 of the 3 own the truck outright after 3 years, so it can be done.

 

Yes I know a few guys who have done it and now own the trucks and doing well

 

I've never been to that terminal or southeast much, so no idea on hometime. If by "training" you mean taking new hires out for the day and then back to the yard that night to show them local plants, how to do paperwork, how to air off / pump off loads, etc. then 75 a day might be OK. If it's anything involving living with a student on your truck, then no way would 75 a day be worth that agony.

 

That's pretty much it, people hate training and I like it and since Savannah is growing market and the closest terminal is Charleston (the so called Savannah and riceboro are satellites terminals controlled by Augusta and Tampa).. they keep reminding me of the 7 to 10 days out but 70% of their freight going to the i10 and down to Florida passes by my house I will try to get my 10 hours done at home

 

Sometimes it pays to swing by the yard to say hello. I had to pu 20 mins from the yard, but it didn't deliver to Rockford till Friday. So I got the you want to run a quick load then come back and top load your load. Sure I will because it all adds up.


On another note, now I'm getting smack from customers for not having a show truck. I might have to put some perfume on this pig. Do they make chicken lights for Columbia's?

 

Cmon truck driver we have to see you rolling at night lol
