    I believe the lease payment is 650 or so. But again, I do not believe it is a true doable lease purchase. I believe it to be a matter of keeping you running.

    And yes, the speedometer is off. My garmin and the road side radar says, 60. So 60 it is. That is okay for east coast but going across Kansas is going to be a boring drive.

    Today, I am in Philly. At the port, loading bananas. First time to use my TWIC card. For a Missouri boy, who lived on Victoria Island, Nigeria, it is like being home again. I love the water.

    Wow,

    So you pay $2600.00 a month on a truck they have at 60mph... Bless your soul brother...

    Hope this works out for you... Good luck

    but if he drives 2250 miles a week he could earn $1000 pretax!

    a company driver at Crete earning.45 a mile doing 2250 miles would earn $1000 pretax too!
    except pay less in taxes, paid vacation, cheap health care benefits etc etc

    All this go slow crap is so counterproductive it isn't even remotely funny. You screw yourself out of a day and a half of running every week.

    And I'll tell you where to feel and how much the fuel to if you want that $0.99 a gallon fuel you can't be more than 5% off of their routing.

    Like I said. This is a new company for me and a new experience. I did not see much on here and my last experience at K B was not a good one. I am putting this out for others to make up their own mind. So far, I like it. But I have two exwives so first impressions have been known to change.

    I know I was not happy with the way the truck failed to preform going through the hills of Western PA loaded with the bananas. Making 30 mph seems a bit dangerous.

    We will see what the paychecks bring in.

    No post in awhile. I'm curious as to what you think about HML. I've been here at Hirschbach over a year and so far I'm confused on your 60mph. Hope your safe

    All i can say is if your looking for a no bull sh*i*t company that your 1099 not a lease company employee owned go to Triple D supply chain you get a $1000 bonus in first ck that then gets deducted as a buy into the company run there trucks under there authorities they give you five major places / companies to buy fuel stay with in 100 miles of the company routed way & your good average length of haul is 900 -1100 electronic logs no micro management 4wks out 4 days in profit sharing at end of yrs 2.4 percent

    They screw around with your pay. It's hard to keep up with what they owe you. They tell you where to fuel how much and what routes to run. Not a true lease more of a 1099 position. You'll be in loading docks every other day and on those days you'll be up 16+ hours dealing with their customers. Best thing I did was leave them. Now I'm on % pay much better than a sliding scale.
