Bruenger Co Lease

Ok, no more Schnider recruiters.. You have a page for your company, this is a page about my expierance as a Lease Purchase with Roadrunner / Bruegner.

Good news is I'm Home!! / Just so anyone who is following this knows, I can come home any day I want and stay home as long as I chose, it is my choice.

Called in and have the dispatchers looking for a load out of the area for Sunday night or Monday morning..

 

88 Alpha, first and for most, I have politely asked for you to stop talking about choice. SNI Choice has a page, if you would like to talk about that program, please go to that page!

2nd I made a comment about our yard housing Pumpkin Trailers, RoadCall made a comment about how that would not be a bad deal if we where taken over and became SNI choice. He told me about there pay and I disagreed with him regarding the claim. As part of my response I posted a price comparison found on the Schinders web site (my enormous claim) yes from the Schnider web site (*rolling my eyes*).. Regardless of what division it is, I don't care! I don't care what days off Schnider drivers get, what they get paid in the N.W. Or what color underwear they wear, if I did I would of went to the SNI board and read and asked questions about it.. Or simply set up an appointment to talk about switching with one of you..

Now about credibility, if I posted something about a company regarding that company, from that company's web site, I would assume it to be credible, and 100% accurate. If it's not accurate or misleading the public, I have no liability for there claim, just sharing what is on there site.. So hopefully I still have my credibility intact, if not I guess I could blame Schnider for the loss?

But in an effort to not lose focus of what I'm trying to blog, I'd ask you not to respond about SNI choice on my page. I am making an effort to share my experience as I learn the ins and outs of leasing a truck. I am sharing what I find to be helpful and harmful. The stuff that helps and the stuff that hinders.. Again, this is a public form and I understand that. But according to the rules from the administration, you are suppose to respect the forms.

So please, in one last attempt, I humbly ask you to stop posting about SNI on my form. If you have positive opinion that would help with what I am blogging, they are welcomed. I hope we can now have peace in our conversation. Thank You and God Bless..

 

Thanks RoadCall, it has been a fun ride thust far!! I was worried at first, because I knew nothing about refers, but to this point refer has been a good business..

 

So I have been asked questions regarding miles and rated, etc..

Over the last 6 weeks I have driven 14,034 miles. This avrage comes to about 2,339 miles a week.

My truck has been paid $19,352.13 in the last 6 weeks, that comes to an avrage of $3,225.36 per week the truck is making.

My avrage take home had been $1,470.61 a week to the driver.

My over all rate to the truck has avg out to $1.38 a mile after fuel.

I am paying bills and getting caught up in life. In order to be more prepared I would like to see my Avg Fraight charge come closer to $1.80 a mile.

I know as I continue to learn the lanes that I can improve in certain areas, of cost. The first time I ran to Texas from Washington it coast me close to 1,100 dollars in fuel. This time I ran with JTrout and shaved some miles and hit more efficient fuel stops and was able to save approximately $100.00 in fuel..

Hope this helps if you are thinking about leasing on to a company.. I have heard of lease that pay % by the mile, set rate per mile, and many others. I am still new to this so I have not figured out a min per mile a person needs to make to be successful.. I don't know if we can call $1.38 a mile successful because it is too early in the year.

Don't forget you will have taxes, health insurance and other payments out of pocket when leasing. As the year moves on we will be able to evaluate freight rates up or down, and see how this changes with repairs, maintance and ect.

Hope this helps!!
