What are the right questions to ask a trucking company when joining a lease purchase program

Mileage, home time, maintenance program, warranty, what if you can't make the payment that week, type of lease.

 

If pay is by the mile, walk away.

 

The thing is that when you talk with these L/O they tell you figures before any of theire expenses. But when it's all said and done and taxes paid they barely make any more than a good company driver.

 

"Good company driver" being key. One must have a decent work ethic first.
An LP program is NOT a get rich quick scheme.

 

I've been at mercer for almost 5 years and never pulled a load that cheap. If they can't afford to bounce to a better load is only their own fault. Obviously they are either shirring at home till they have no money, or making very bad decisions on load selection. And i live south of tampa so I'm very much aware of cheap florida freight.

If you are doing 1500 consistently as a company driver i advise that you stay put, and save money. Fix any past credit mistakes and prepare for truck ownership the right way.
