    Been leased on here a couple of weeks, a little slow to start but picking up last couple of loads. Great people real friendly and concerned about you making money, some things I dont completely agree with but tolerable.Love the freight we haul, cutomers treat us with respect.Did lighting for a concert first load out.
     
    DF361 Thanks this.

    1st day one of the owners picked us up from the hotel which impressed me. a real guy,no ivory tower here. 2nd day of orientation went well(hire ppwrk,policies,etc)-will get a new 2013 prostar tomorrrow. u must bring or supply your own inverter and they put in 4 u. like prev post ppl r nice treat u w/respect. seems once u get past 1st few loads(company recoups trans, lodging,drug screen) you can build up some steam income wise.

    Wonder why you get a new prostar, I am paying out the butt for a Ryder truck and was told my name was on top of the list.I will address this tomorrow. But any way As far as startup costs, I got a settlement first trip out after costs were deducted it was a little over 300.00

    yes I am, I will warn you its real slow the first month, but it picks up. If you can hang in there. I am just upset with them about the truck situation right now. This Ryder truck is costing me out the ying yang, and fuel mileage sucks even at 63 mph.But overall I like the company,

    Sorry for taking so long between posts. Been a little busy. Things are going well. I'm getting decent miles some loads have had stops , just finished one 2 days early so bonus is well within reach. The key to this deal is to look at incom over a month basis vs weekly. Then it makes much more sense.
     
    Tennessee Trucker Thanks this.
