Do not do a lease purchase.....ever!!!

The HORROR of it all!

 

Moglar, why do you troll all the LP threads and say the same thing over and over again. LP suck, bla, bla, bla. YAWN! Your facts (as you claim) are not facts at all, but second and third hand BS. I've asked you before if you have every leased, I don't remember a reply. I also asked you what makes you the internet authority on LP, don't remember a reply to that either? So what say you?

 

It appears to me that the OP is a company driver who is intending to buy a truck, and already knows everything that can be known about the business of trucking. Especially the part where if anything goes wrong financially it is always entirely the fault of a pernicious carrier taking advantage of an innocent, upstanding driver.

 

He speaks a lot of truth and may save someone some future misery. Just remember, for every happy L/P there are many times more who have been screwed. Schneider, for example: Why would a L/P drivers weekly pay settlement be wiped out if he chooses too fill his tanks on Monday morning? Save your planning reply. Pumpkin don't have to pay their fuel bill once a week.

 

35k a year avg pay for O/O? getting paid .94 cpm at some mega company maybe!

If you are breaking your back running your own truck and thats all you profit in a year then you are out of your mind!

 

I have never heard a lp driver say he screwed himself, that I would have respect for.

 

Hmmm, Schneider Choice drivers said they get 100% of whats on the board, I want to know if Schneider already takes there cut & post it on their board?

 

If you take your own truck to Landstar and pull their trailer, they'll keep 35% of the gross. So what's your beef about this? Do you expect a carrier to provide their
equipment and services
without an expectation of profit? This is business, not welfare for whining company drivers.

 

That's the national average per OOIDA. Never heard about these O/O at the truck stop counter do ya?
