David, Diane's "helper" sorta started off rough very "to the book" kinda guy, ex-military. I guess bobby hired him as a new dispatcher, for the time that he's been here, a few months now he's really a good guy! He's been sorta in charge of collecting detention, and he does a GREAT job at getting me everything possible. Also, if I'm sitting and haven't gotten a door, or just been waiting awhile, he will call and im not sure what he does, but it seems that they always get a move on after he calls.
He is going to make a really good dispatcher, also the guy drove for 6 years, with various companies but his last one I think was prime. In my opinion it makes all the difference having dispatchers and support that actually drove a truck. I remember one time when I was at Roehl that It took me 10 min to explain an issue with the landing gear on the trailer before he even had a clue on what I was talking about. At the time I was frustrated, but now I look back and laugh because that guy my "fm" had no idea what the hell he was doing

 

In good ol Louisiana picking up a load going to Washington. Delivers on Sunday, since I had a trip last week go through and finished on Monday that was 1300 miles I should have somewhere between 4500-4700 for next week! A new record, kinda nervous about heading that way hopefully mother nature will play nice.

 

I will break down everything to my knowledge, when I leased I made good money, the highest I made in 1 week bring home was 2700. And no, I am not lieing, the money is there, you have to be smart where you run and what you take, but the money is good. Doing a straight lease is a bit much on weekly expenses and that's why I went back to company, but there is money to be made.

far as getting loads, yes your right... No load board, however not many companies offer that kinda deal when leasing. How it worked for me was my dispatcher would call, give me load details, pay, miles, weight, PU city and destination, if the price isn't good or doesn't meet what you need you can absolutely tell the dispatch what you need, 9 times outta 10 they would always take my request. Never once did I have a load pay me under 1.40. That was my lowest and I saw it once, I had many trips 2.30-3.00+ depending where I was. Also, if the load they called you with wasn't something you wanted, just say so and you can go wherever you'd like.

Fuel card is fleet one (rts) and you can fuel wherever you'd like. I do hear what your saying but my bottom line while leasing was I made some good money. I still talk to a guy hear that is leasing and he does very well. IMO it's hard to find a good lease deal, but UZ is not NEARLY as bad as 90% of all these other LP out here.

 

Challenger, 3500 miles per week is very easy to see. Manage your ELogs right and you'll run non stop.

 

Im sure they do man, last time I was by the office I was talking to the newest guy hired he used to drive for prime and he was on the dry side and he was very happy with his miles. I believe he's leasing now but he stayed pulling a dry Van

 

Made my drop in Washington got a load right after with a few pick ups going to jacksonville Florida, another 3,019 miles for this week. Been really busy I hope everyone is good!
