    What is a typical lease like as far as pay ? Lets say i buy a truck and lease on to a small outfit just using their authority .
    What % do they get ?
    What if all I do is haul grain for one place like gavilon and the company I lease to also does this . Does Gavilon seperate the pay as far as his and mine or does the company do that and cut me a check ?

    8 years driving 6 months grain hopper . Just trying to figure out how a leasee is paid . I know a guy I could lease onto but he is real bad about paying employees . just pays when ever he feels like it here and there . If he got the money i would not do it but if the shipper paid his and mine separately then I would .
    Actually been trying to find the right time to get with a company for a company driver job that i have been talking to owner about .Just have not been able to meet up with him because of our driving times . this O/O stuff is just a future thought . Trying to put it all together with as much info as possible . Figured I would work company for a few more years and save up more money and be able to buy a nicer truck than i could now.

    If you run on his authority and he bills the customer, they will only pay his invoice and you'll have to get your money from him.

    actually just got a very good job from a local company hauling grains . Better pay , legal truck , less DDG ! Friendly helpful drivers and very nice owner who bent his no pet policy for me . I was going to try and save a little more and buy a decent truck and lease on with him but no need now . That was so cool of him to do that as I am basically a loner and all I have is my dog and she has been in my truck for years . No way I could part with her .

    three days and 10 hours of sleep . Was not ready for the call to come on board at 4 am so only got 3 hours sleep . Been home every night but first load took us all day to get so we never left town . Had to get up early to get it out of state so another 3 hours sleep . Back load to home but had to get up early for some paper work training as they are very picky about it . So 4 hours sleep . But came home yesterday and doing restart . Now I will be back to what I normally do when driving .. sleeping at least 6 hours .
