What happens to leasers when fuel prices go back up?

There rates go back up past a dollar.

 

Why would you only be making 500 a week as a company driver? What company is this?

 

I'm a first year driver I don't bring home less than 780 a week except for this week should be $500 but I'm on a good run to the NE to make up for it

 

over the last few years lurking on this forum i can tell you the golden rules of leasing are
#1 Don't lease your first year driving
#2 Don't lease from a carrier.
you would get a much better deal leasing from a lease purchase co like lone mountain or quality.
just my 2 cents

 

Which companies have you talked to?

 

Listen to your gut, not the recruiters.

 

Another thing to think of, is if you lease with a company that also had company drivers, which trucks are going to be sitting when freight is slow? The one the company pays for, or the one you pay for?
If you must, get outside financing and go with an O/O company like Landstar or whatever. If you cannot get outside financing, then you really have no business starting a business, and make no mistake L/O and O/O ARE running a small business and all the headaches (and possible profits, and losses) that go with it.
