Mav IC Maverick lease division

I would like to know who he drives for as a company driver? I can bet he's union or something very limited. I know of no company paying there drivers that much. So put up the goods driver. I dont get screwed over here no matter what you think. I make good money. Rates are goin up freight is goin up with forecasts of continued growth thru 2011. I know my numbers and watch my bottom line. Thats what bein your own boss is about. The only people who try to trash talk leases are those who have never done it or tried it and failed for lack of business sense. While I wouldnt recommend Prime Inc's lease due to the exorbitant costs I could make money doin it because Im a business man. Thats why I like the lease here,its affordable,fair and you make good money. I am home 98% of my weekends and still do well. The difference between me and you is Im not b.s.'n anybody. So put up or shut up driver.

 

Dieseldon Im currently busy but once I get a free moment I'll give you a detailed answer

 

Since the new CSA rules are coming soon Maverick is getting pretty hardcore about logging legal so Im averaging about 2500 miles a week now. Dieseldon there is NO money out of your pocket up front. The $1.18 figure on their website is old and Im not sure how they are getting that figure so I wont try to guess. What I can do is tell you what Im averaging per mile deadhead and loaded and thats been about $1.45 a mile here the last couple months. If you start a lease with them they will finance your flatbed equipment for you also unless you have your own. The prices are competitive with truckstops and you have the option of buying used for half the cost,which I highly recommend as most used equipment is in good to like new condition. Your fixed,non flucuating costs,average $500 a week then they take 12% of the linehaul for a maintenance account(this usually averages about .13cpm),new leases also have a bond escrow of $2000 taken in increments of 5% of the linehaul(it generally takes 2-3 months to get the full $2000 built up then they quit taking that 5%),then the only thing left is your fuel. The freightliners they lease can achieve 7mpg pretty easily but lets say for the sake of argument your getting 6.5mpg then diesel that cost 2.90/gal would cost .446 cpm. Still with me? So lets run some numbers. 2500 miles x 1.45= $3625-$500 fixed=$3125 - $325 maintence escrow(.13 x 2500)= $2800 - $1115 fuel(.446 x 2500) = $1685. Now if you finance your equipment that runs around $60/wk til paid off so that knocks you down to $1625 and til you get the bond escrow paid up thats approx .055 cpm, so that knocks you down to $1487.50 divided by 2500 miles that gives you a net estmated profit of .595cpm. Remember the bond and your equipment financing are temporary so that will be profit in the future. Im not bs'n any at all about these numbers,are they this good everyweek? No. But they are also higher some weeks. This is just an average of what Im getting right now. If you have good motivation and can watch your bottom line then this will be great for you. Let me also state you could also hire in ad a company driver for a few months,get settled into Maverick and then make your decision. Their company driver pay is one of the better paying flatbed compensation out there. Anyway I really hope this helps ya a little bit. -- Missouri Kid

 

PS to the driver lookin into TMC I seriously wouldnt. They are deep deep in red ink. All their prepasses have been takin out of their trucks and they are playing around with drivers checks. We have gotten quite a few TMC drivers over here past several months. Also dont forget Macerick just recently got into the reefer business. I know zip about that side though. We also do heavy haul/glass.
