1099

Explain how in the heck do you get paid 1099 and have to pay the company 4500 PLUS a week??

AND NO just to answer your question.

 

You're basically asking should I enter this fleece purchase. Hell no, that is the answer. Period. No ifs ands or butts about it. Definitely no this one. 550 for trailer rent, what is the trailer a dry box? That is way too high weekly for a trailer. The payment of $900-$975 a week? I pay $968 PER MONTH for my truck. I couldn't imagine beating myself against the wall to make that high of a payment every week. If they're covering all the maintenance, they wouldn't be charging you that 9 cpm surcharge. So they're lying to you already right out of the gate. Nobody is going to encourage you entering a fleece purchase but that choice is ultimately yours to make. Even if it is a walk away lease just a good general rule of thumb is this, any and all escrows you paid you will likely never have returned when you walk away from any lease purchase. Doesn't matter if its $200 you had in maintenance and escrow accounts or $50,000. You will end up losing most if not all of it, unless you find a lawyer and sue to recover it.

 

$8000 a month + Fuel and aforementioned Maintenance for a lease purchase (I’m guessing) is a lot of money. If you had your own numbers you could rent one cheaper then that or buy.

 

Penske isn't even that high I don't believe. You're right. Be cheaper leasing from someone else.

 

We can all understand that. In that case if you need to work and that is your ONLY option, then I guess you don't have much choice. Final decision and negotiations done on day one, day one of orientation? This sounds like a Chicago based company am I right?

 

@Chinatown can find you something much much better.
