Fuel Surcharge

Oops!

That would be $1.39.

 

Not being mean or insulting at all however I would suggest you not lease a truck or become O/O just yet. As a lease operator you don't get to set the baseline for FSC, the carrier does. This weeks FSC ( for me) is 35.3%.

Good luck

 

Very True, my error

 

Actually on a lease purchase, they do pay the permits and insurance but it comes back out of the operators settlement. So does Fuel Tax monthly, as well as trailer, bobtail and liability insurance.

 

No sir that comes out of the operators settlement

 

Nobody can answer that question specifically tailored to you. All circumstances are different. Will you make a lot of money? The answer is no, but it could go downhill from what you do make. It will depend on whether you get a decent truck or not, the miles you get, and the costs you incur. You could end up losing your butt. I have done two lease purchases, mostly for the experience of learning the trucking business, and IMHO if you want a truck, go out and buy a truck. True, you will learn what owning a truck is all about with a lease purchase, which is an asset to the program, but you will not make a lot of money doing it, at least not until the truck is paid for.

 

Good luck to you!
