Just doing some research myself. Skyview has a Facebook page and looking at some of the pictures, they've got some fancy rigs. Must be getting paid the big bucks!

They are 100% O/O so they don't own the rigs
And from what I've seen, for some reason the shiniest truck usually has the most miles
I don't know why lol -
It is morally wrong to put yourself and your family at financial risk without doing due diligence first. If you cannot see the financial statements (settlement sheets) that go back 6 months, from at least three leasers (that you choose) at this company first, then you sir are a fool. (A fool and his money...). If a company could really guarantee the type of revenue that you are being told, then why not make your lease payment a percentage of your revenue? Follow your dream, but do the preparation work first. I have made huge mistakes myself in the past, and forums like this were not available. If you choose to ignore the wisdom that is available here, you will fail. I hope I was not unclear. (Tough love, baby).
lonelyswmtrucker Thanks this. -
Thank you for this great info and I have found several of their drivers who are driving for them now! So far I like what I am seeing and hearing, seems theres only two bad apples in this group. Seems the other drivers are happy and making a pretty good living!

Ladies and gentlemen a bit of advice from one who has been around a long time. NEVER get your truck from the sane place you get your loads. It is just that simple. As a matter of fact, if you are going to be in the trucking business ,don't be the one driving,be the one supplying the loads. Do not ever buy trucks ,instead buy trailers ,and take 20% off the top from the folks who pull them for you. These lease purchase people have figured out one can make more money selling a truck over and over again than it will make running down the highway.

You are always wrong if you are not right!REDD said: ↑43 years as a driver.... I'd think he was smart enough to know the dangers involved with lease purchases.... But once again, I believe I was proven wrong!Click to expand...

1st off.$3500 every 3 monthes would be $14,000 not 12,000.2ndly if it took you 3 monthes to make $38,000,Alan was right your NOT going to make it!!! 3rdly it is VERY rare that i don't make OVER $6000 a week.if you will think about it you were told right up front "if you're not afraid to work you will do well here if you are you should go home now".i personally have never met a better group of people than the rickertsons.antap2 said: ↑They require a $3500 deposit when you lease a truck, they give you crappy loads, we made a total of $38,000+ gross for them and we brought home $1300 total in three months.
Allen said "you're not gonna make it!" and pulled the truck and kept the $3500 deposit. He broke the lease and left us hanging.
DON'T LEASE ON AS AN OWNER/OPERATOR. Stay away from Skyview in Gothenburg, NE. Maybe you won't meet the same fate!
Wow - check this they have crap loads and not only do they require a $3500 deposit on a O/O lease, but if you have five pay periods that you don't make money they pull the truck and break the lease. Allen was nice enough to ship our stuff home, but would pay for a greyhound ticket home! In three months we grossed over $38,000 and took home $1300!
THIS IS A DEPOSIT RIPOFF! If he can do this every three months -- that's $12000 a year! He also requires a money order or cashiers check. Good business if you can get it. Wonder what the IRS thinks about Skyview Farms and Alan . The Skyview safety rating is -0- so you get pulled in to every scale and can't make any time.
Don't believe the ad in the magazines that says you can make $6000 a week +!
Be careful so you don't get ripped off!Click to expand... -
the trlr. rent is 325 per week.not 600.you don't have to give 500 up front to get a fuel card.you should pay more attention to what people tell you.i've been with skyview for 3 1/2 yrs. and do very well.
