Leasing to Schneider to start out?

good double drop freight will prolly pay 3-4 times what you would make for schnieder, also you would need a different tractor than you would for slammin doors. something with heavier rears, either a 13 or 18 spd and a motor with power so that leaves detriot out

 

Thanks, I'll check em out. I hope they're not tarp addicted

 

Yes, I found a way to rental purchase a double drop to get going and a truck is the least problem of all. They are getting cheaper by the week!

 

just read through Fikes Truck Line website, sounds like a pretty good program. Anyone have experience with Fikes to share?

 

Mule knows a couple guys leased to them. says they do pretty good and he is thinking about going there. In his words one of the guys is so stupid that if he is making a living there then anyone can

 

Well, I made a decision. Since no one wants to lease me on without recent experience I'm gonna go buy the truck, lease a trailer and get my own insurance and authority. I got some real good old hands I've known forever who say they'll keep me from fallin into any big holes, will hook me up with the brokers they use and help get me going.

It's what I wanted right from the start, just had to run around in a big ol circle to get back here!

 

Interesting!! Keep us posted on how everything works out.
