Sharing a good lease out experience

Amen Brother!! Never be afraid to speak the truth! As much as you inspire , you will draw hate and criticism , but take it all in stride and never lose your faith in God and Jesus.

 

When I see a bird sitting in a pond quacking I think "duck".

When a guy joins the forum and his first post is "I paid off a brand new truck in 18 months, check out these guys and you can do the same" - I think "fraud".

I know LP can be done well, but you and I have also watched dozens of guys post how well they're doing in their first 6-12 months, and then things start going sideways.

A couple months ago a small carrier tried to recruit me with big promises of owning my own truck in 2 years AND taking at least $2,000 to the house every week. Being that the guy hauls amazon freight, I knew it to be so much horse hockey, but the pitch sounded good. That's what this feels like to me.

 

Yes new truck leased through a different company then the one you lease on to. So just to be clear two different companies. And you have to run a tight ship.

 

So true.
Many people are jealous of those who do better than them.

 

This went from got it new to used real quick when you were called out

Good luck on this forum
Most here are straight shooters, helpful, and with good information

 

I'm not saying its not doable. 12k a week that is. But I am saying I've never seen it.
Im not saying you can't pay off your truck in no time. Because of trucking I did. But it was used and under 30k.
I'm not saying you as a single driver can't do coast to cost in five days by your self. I've done it. But coming into nc. I was tired wore out and exhausted. What I am saying. With mother nature being the c that she is. I just don't see any one maintaing an average running speed of 93mph. Day in and day out. And not losing weight or getting sick from the truck stop hot dogs.
For some reason I do believe you paid off your truck. Produce pays disgustingly well. Even with all the wait time involved.
Its just the priamters you said it was done in that has me wondering.
For example. Four separate pick ups in Cali takes a day and a half more some times with "good brothers inc". They just never have there orders ready. Then 6 hours at ten over the limit to drop down to I40 in Cali. Right there on 15 or 40 it says 2,??? Miles to nc. I really think it says 2,852. But its been a while. So you run 777 miles in 11 hours. That's 4 days to the 1st drop in Henderson Nc. With 3 hours to the second stop. Stop two leaves you with 2 hours to the second stop. Now you have just exhausted 6 days. Running hard and sleeping well. No available hours to roll over. So you have to take a 34. Might as well shower and get the oil changed. Find a load and head back west. Now I was at day 8. Day 8 being day one of the second week. Heading back to Cali your not making 12k for that week.
I'm the most simplest person on this fourm. And I don't dispute that. I congrats on you for your good luck.
But Jesus said its not wise to false Brag. You either have a co-driver or one heck of a tail wind. I'm sticking with. I'm glad it worked for you. But after reading everything. I'm not really sure how you did it. And its none of my business. Just don't get caught. Be safe

 

Pride cometh before the fall, maintain your self. Walk the line. And now I'm moving on
