    Anyone give me some info on solo lease purchase? Is it forced dispatch? How much per mile? Do the trucks have APU's?
    What are the average miles? Are there regional runs?

    No forced dispatch, no APU's and a sliding payscale. If you call a recruiter, they will provide you with all the info. You need to be very disciplined to make it work,

    I'm sure he has the disipline it takes, as this isn't his first rodeo in L/P, and appeared to do well in it until circumstances beyond his control changed things.

    I wanted to go O/O, but with my wife's hospital bills from that #### cancer has dumped my credit, and nobody will touch me. Thanks for the replies. I have submitted an app, haven't heard from a recruiter, except the auto-reply email.

    Well USX recruiter called me today, he seemed anxious to get me off the phone. I did find out that all L/P trucks are autoshift, and no APU's. I told him I would be back in touch with him after the first of the year. If I could get back on my dedicated run I had before, I would go back to Schneider.

    Did your wife respond well to the treatment LMB? Been wondering how she was doing.

    I just left the USX lease purchase program and uSX I thought it was going to be a good 1 But I was wrong 1st the head Lease purchase recuiter lied to me from the start about being on the 90 day try out ended up not getting on that program. 2nd didnt get to pick the truck i wanted just gave me 1. Orientation was sucky for a lot of people they dont qualify you till you are at tunnel hill so about half of the class goes home for 1 reason or the other after 2 days of wasted time. then they want to give you a truck but not under the 90 day try out and if you want to go under the 90 day try out they want to sent you out to get some crappy truck in the system so then you will have to wait god no's how long to get it then have everything fixed thats wrong with it so you can run and make money. the Dispatch system is by far the best part of USX i stayed pre planned on a load 99% of the time even over christmas and new years. The GPS system in their trucks sucks and try's to run you on cow paths and down roads you cant be on. Electronic logs sucks enough said. WELL last but not forgotten Is to say I am sorry to people who told me this wouldn't work. YOU guys were right and I was wrong so im limping off with my head between my legs. OH yeah the recuiter says you will have around 650 a week in deductions that isnt close 750 and up. OH yeah if you complain they send you to this 25 year old college kid who tell you tough #### thats the truck your stuck with get over it.. THX guys Ive been an ### at times on here and Im going back to my corner and stick my nose in till i learn to get along with others. HAPPY TRAILS
