    I've talked to several and they all are doing pretty well, some even turn down load. I'm basically a owner op now seeming how my trucks paid off, and the are continuing with the miles.

    You say to stay out 4 weeks and then take off 3 or 4 days off only. Why is that? Where I am leasing from (ACT) I have taken off 3 times in last 6 weeks for a full week and then the following week I made up the negative balance from the week before plus made a check for about $1000 each time. Why isn't that possible at the great John Christner Trucking?

    Different strokes, for different folks. Personally, I think your all crazy for doing the lease deal. :biggrin_25520::biggrin_25519: :biggrin_25517:

    I'm not sure why! Based on some of the earnings that have been posted here and the JCT drivers I've talked to personally who paid their trucks off a long time ago, seems to me that the JCT lease is working out for quite a few people. Obviously, not everybody can make it work, there are variables that are uncontrollable (repairs, breakdowns, etc...), but I would say that 95% of the 20 or so JCT drivers I've chatted with have done VERY well and have already, or are just about ready to pay off the truck. I think if I were to ever lease, JCT would probably be the only place I'd do it.

    But yes..... your mileage will vary.

    Well I was trying to be funny. Still, for me, thats just not the way to go. Course, neither is being an O/O. Just don't have the mindset for it myself. Perfectly content with being a company drvr since I am well aware of my own limitations.

    Yeah, thats kewl. I've talked to a few folks as a company driver who were former O/O's. One guy said he did it for about five years and just hated it, even though he made more money than he did as a co driver. It's all about what makes each individual tick, I guess.
