    Chinatown, I'm not trying to start a war, & I've seen you offer great advise, & companies to countless posters.. But...

    What am I missing here.? How can people make money at a company with a rate of $1.02 per mile.? I have a paid off truck, & my operating cost is around .97 cents per mile before I pay myself a dime..

    China is pretty good at pointing recruits in the direction they probably haven’t researched.

    At ownership level, you should know $1.02/mile ain’t gonna pay the bills.

    I’m fairly close - $1.40 to be realistic year over year. Then I get paid. Dunno how some of these outfits keep getting folks to sign up.
     
    Feedman and singlescrewshaker Thank this.

    Yeah, here in Nevada, lots of sand, but no water. I love it here though.

    I liked what I saw. Only been once in March of '18 for a day. Delivered at an Ahern on Dean Martin dr. in Las Vegas.
    Then loaded a concrete man hole back to ABQ.
    Can't remember where in NV. But it was definitely here..

    Ok, so I have a friend who was in a lease purchase. Than 3 months away from buying the truck they slowed him down. It was 3k a month. He didn't save 9k. So he lost it. There are a lot of bad stories with lease purchase, but some are good. If you got a low mileage truck off of a lot with warranty left over on it. You could lease on and avoid loosing everything like my friend did. Since your can take the truck some place else
