    Well here's the deal. I am approved by Eagle and ready to go. I will drive to Indy (one day) with all my stuff. If I like it then fine I'll load my truck drive home and Eagle will fly me back. For those of you already there: I want to be home weekly, take home after taxes (remember we have to pay the 15% self employment SS tax) $800. Not worried about length of lease or buyout. When I'm done with it back it goes. Doable?

    Nope.....it's a weeks work but when u scan your trips helps to show it on the pay....so in this instance I was shorted a trip the week or two prior.....my pay check without this trip was only 500.00 if this trip was included that weeks pay was 1725.00 but the weeks are like that......some are short...usually not that short....so I need a serious good week of solid in the week trips....to show a decent potential week.....this was to show the charges and amounts im pulling in for trips...it's not meant to be comprehensive.....it is what it is.....

    im,sure it's doable.....some guys do it all the time....800+ in 5 days.....depends on you...have u done a lease purchase before? Have u brokered your own freight.....know the area u want to run? I couldn't and wouldn't want to do it at this point.....I'm not familiar enough yet.....is your wife totally on board or will she be crying to you how hard it is to deal with stuff at home all week and stressing u out a lot?

    My wife of 47 years couldn't care less. I ran my own concrete business for 30 years including keeping our trucks and flatbeds going
