Hirschbach Lease Purchase from the beginning

I am going to Hirschbach Orientation on Monday November 13, 2015, which is my grandson's first birthday.
I am going to do the lease purchase thing. I am not going that way because I lack the resources to buy a truck, I am doing it because I want to see if a lease purchase through this company is a good thing or not. I am exploring. Those of you who know me, know that I have the business background to succeed but I tend to get fired. I am not a natural truck driver. So, if I can succeed in this venture, anyone can.

First the truck the recruiter talked about is an International Pro Star. Cummings engine. I do not know what year or how many miles it will have on it when I get there. I have an idea of what they are worth based on talking to dealers. Do I want to work for the company for three to five years and end up with a used truck? No. I am interested in making a living now. Not a used truck in the future. So the dangled carrot of a purchase does not tempt me.

Hirschbach is a reefer company. I like reefer work. I enjoy driving at night and reefer work is steady. They go to NYC and I don't mind going there. According to the recruiter, and we all know what kind of faith we can put in recruiters, the target goal is 2250 miles a week. That should make all payments and bring in $1000 pre tax a week. Last reefer company averaged 2900 per week. Hirschbach and my other company have many over lapping costumers, so I figure same miles.

I will post once a week and keep you all informed on how things work out.

Tomorrow, I take a rental car to Orientation. They are to reimburse me. I had the option of a bus ticket but that isn't going to happen ever again.

Oh, did everyone hear the Royals won the World Series.

 

K B fired me because of something I said. Yes it was a bit on the rude side but it was very funny. Unfortunately it was overheard by a supervisor who did not share my sense of humor. Customer complaint.

As to the Company driver route, right now it is not being offered. I want to do the lease purchase thing to see if it is a better deal. I can always get myself fired if I don't like it. Orientation is at East Dubuque, IL.

The Volvo 780 with the XE package is what I would purchase myself. I still do not know enough about the business to talk my father into releasing me the funds for a purchase. 59 years old and Daddy still has a say in my money. Of course looking back on it, that is why I still have money.

 

I sold the trucks before they arrived. Not my idea. Things changed do to a death in my family.
