Another ACT L/O

Yes all dry van thank god. I never pulled anything but reefers before this and I swear to you now I don't care how much more it paid I will never run them again. I originally thought I would get my own truck and a reefer and go to landstar but #### have I ever seen how good it can be in a dry van. No waiting for hours and hours at a shipper or receiver, no stinky ### meat plants and NO GROCERY DC's!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's loaded miles. We get paid loaded and empty. Empty miles at $0.90 per mile plus FSC on all miles. My average for all paid miles is about 2300-2500. I personally don't care to run much harder then that. Some guys get more, some guys get about the same and want more. My DM will let me set the pace if I push him to get me more he does. I pushed for tighter times on the loads this week and am going to end up at 3300 or so total. Problem is I am lazy and now I'm wore out lol. I got one more hard day running ahead of me then I will probably slow it down some. I personally am trying to keep my miles at a pace that get's the truck payed off around the same time the warranty expires. At much more then 2500 a week the warranty will expire before then. I may be completely dumb for doing it but I want that extra piece of mind until she's all mine.

 

Mines is a longer one 60 months and 10k at the end. Truck value at start of lease 115k because it was low mileage and only a year old. Buyout is 10k at the end for a total cost of $149,920. I'd say thats on par with most financing deals on a truck. Might be a touch more then traditional financing but for most people that's a fair trade off for the no down and the ability to walk away without their credit getting trashed. Mine was actually the first 60 month lease there. Although I heard some people are actually getting brand new trucks no miles because they didn't have enough trucks. So theirs would be the same but probably at a higher weekly. Or so I'd assume. And no it's set up as a true lease where you basically are penalized for paying it off early. As in it would cost you so much more to pay it off 6 months early that it's just not worth it.
