    Anybody doing the TSH lease tractor and trailer program? It oays 75% of the 100% load. Just wondering if the 550 a week for truck and then add other expenses is even worth looking into? How goog is this company?

    Bottom line is what you need. I would not work for that amount. As for how good that company is. I heard somewhere on XM that they were restructuring or out of business. I believe they recently turned off their fuel cards.

    RUN!!! I was leased to them for a year I had my own truck with no payments and that was the only reason I made any money. I knew some guys over there that did the lease a truck deal and some times.would go in the hole and make no money. I was doing great with landstar until my truck broke down, made great money and they were great to work with. TSH has some good people but if money is what you are looking for I would keep on looking. Also you would be much better off having your own truck going into it no.matter where you were to go...

    Thanks for the info. Yea i dont need to lease a truck for sure. I was just curious if it paid enough to justify leasing.

    550 a week truck lease isn't bad but many factors come into play such as truck age, mileage, condition. Do you own the truck at end of lease or is there some huge unrealistic balloon payment at the end??? Lots of things to factor in

    Not sure were you got that from but it's total BS I have a truck leased there they are doing a murge with some other company's soon as I drop the load I scan the paper work and get paid in about two hours if they are going broke they would atleast start paying once a week and not every run

    I also have a buddy that his truck blew up and was leasing a trailer to buy from them he is a company driver for someone else they said keep the trailer as long as you make the payment


    If I was going to lease a truck I would go thru sammons they have a less deal that's real hard to belive

    Than take a job and don't worry about owning your own truck you guys think you make more money having your own truck but that's not always the case I spent $34,000 on my truck in repairs and tires last year alone

    Flatbedding ant for everyone like they say flatbeds ant for putty cats(you know what I mean) I would make sure that's something I would like to do first it's not for everyone

    Waiting to pick my load up in Darlington. I have met lots of rude people in my life but the gal at the scale house here might be the rudest yet.
