buy you a beer if you can show up this weekend....
I'll be heading down on Thursday afternoon to Bloomington.
Ink isn't even dry on my purchase and I am leased on with BBB. Waiting on the temp tags so I can go out to Ridgefield WA to pick up the truck and trailer.
After getting paid mileage as a company driver, I would NEVER even consider doing a mileage lease with a company. Too many ways you are screwed.
Thoughts !! Is this a good Mileage Contract ?

I wish I had a crystal ball and knew I would fail and I'd be with BBB quick ...
Ive just got allot over overhead besides the truck my total out of pocket expenses
house
grocerys
gas ( cars )
truck ( all truck bills )
utilites
healthcare
Child support
insurances ( home auto )
All other misc house hold bills
Are $ 4,875.00 that includes my truck note of
1075 and house payment of 575 and the cars at 350 and 510
Gas , elec water .. Everything
So I just got to make sure I make a living and still got extra for trick -
excuses.....
I am in the same exact boat you are in. Probably worse considering I only have about $4500 saved up for back up expenses.
That spreadsheet I toss around is based off my home budget as well as real expenses I have written checks for this week.
I've got a $1200 truck payment and a $220 microloan payment to boot on top of all the household and other stuff.
You CAN do it. IF you WANT to do it.
I understand the fear. Eventually you just do it.

U.S. Marine is doing exactly what he should be doing, research, research, research, then weighing his own options to his own situation, not someone else's situation.
last 1 Thanks this. -
I accepted a few loads so I couldn't do nothing till next week BBB is prob done with me anyway I changed my mind on him 2 times just fear nothing to do with him .. Just fear of the dispatch yourself thing I guess ..
-
Can't blame you on that one bit. Scares me too. Being totally accountable for your actions whether you sink or swim.
TOTALLY understandable fear. -
I'm 99.9% sure he's not digging me anymore .. I double thought it too much I screwed that up I'm sure of it ...
But on a side note I'm cool with it cause I'm doing good and I honestly can't complain -
At some point in the not so distant future you'll likely be wanting to beat the door down to get leased on at F2F. Some really exciting stuff just on the horizon.

Never said I didn't Coal ... Never said I didn't want to go with F2F one day
