Mission- $5000 truck

SR,

Sent you a pm. Most of the time leasing companies like Ryder and Penske have a bunch of trailers they need to get rid of because they have more coming in, and they will give out good deals. I know several people running reefers and making 1.20+ mile.

Looks there living the dream. You know there's better rates for reefer than 1.20. Don't recommend something when that's the most some are making because there's people making alot more. And all those trailer's you're recommending are just old local trailers not made for OTR.

 

I'm not saying do it or don't. That's nobody's call but yours. I will say there is rarely reward without risk.

In our situation we are still in our 20's and we don't have any kids. The only thing there is to lose is time and money. We're going to continue to lose time working our miserable jobs. Money can be got again. Worse case scenario, we ruin our credit. Oh well. Good credit can be got again. I try not to listen to the nay sayers so much. If they say don't do it and their only reason is because the economy, the rates, the industry as a whole..... blah blah blah. Any nut can give those reasons for anything. If they say don't do it and have advice and or suggestions, I definitely listen.

I don't know.... guess that's just me. I can't stand all the ones who say don't do it yet they aren't trying to do anything different so they must be staying afloat....

 

Luis, I know there is higher rates but I used 1.20 as a number. Granted there will be higher paying jobs once you get established with a broker who knows you.

Take your money and pm either me or medicine man and go to the place he went and that im on my way to and get a good used truck and lease on somewhere and the credit issue dont apply that much i have bad credit with a repo in June!!

 

That's going to take a few months. You know it isn't as easy as it seems. But keep trying to help the guy.

 

Yep that will work but only with a letter of intent from a company. They will not finance you with getting your own authority. They accept people with bad credit because they pay more attention to your work ethic and where you will be leasing on to then credit.
