    Hello,
    I have a question for anyone with an ear. Has anyone heard of Manuel Strickland? He owns M&S trucking out of Alabama(I think the town is Opp).Just kinda curious as to what this guy is about. I ve heard he is legit with his lease purchase deals and will give you more miles than you can handle if you ask for it. But he wants 30% of the gross plus $279 a week for truck(ins,plates,and all) this seems a bit steep to me but I may just be a bit to money hungry...whatta you guys/gals think?

    30% (for company share) sounds about average from what I've been seeing... $279 per week for truck with ins, plates etc. seems LOW.
    Most of the l/o stuff I see is anywhere from $500 to over 1k per week.
    How old is the truck?...do you have contact info?

    Oddly, I found a dispatcher that works for them on Facebook but couldn't contact w/out joining...I don't do FB.

    Seems that she stated on her page that M&S is located in Elba Alabama...
