Is this really legal?

Lmao

 

Tell them you need the miles to make this work out or keep your mouth shut until you get a call from another company , these companies are a dime a dozen and none of them are worth a flying @(#$&

 

I will take the opposite side as I usually do.

You were sc rewed by the big, bad, men at that company. I feel you pain. Let me fix you some hot chocolate and you just lay down and take a nap. Poor sweet baby.

Now go outside and play nice with your friends.

 

So you made a mistake. You weren't ready to be a business owner just yet. Learn from this and years from now you'll laugh about the insanity.
You said it is a walk away lease. Time to walk. TODAY!

 

Yep, my first truck many moons and a few suns ago was a learning lesson... Lost my fat arse...
No business plan at all, just a down payment and I'll show the world.. This was right after a divorce that cost me a bunch of money.
Was a lot of years before I bought another trk. and it was for all the wrong reasons, but I remembered my past mistakes and made it work

 

I have a friend I went to CDL School with thst ended up at KLLM and is in their lease program too... I will need to check with him about how he's doing... He seemed to like the program.

Yes, they blow all kinds of sunshine up your skirt to tell you all the great things about a LP but leave out the "but you still have to make your lease payments" no matter what.

And of course the don't hound you for fuel related issues since they don't pay for fuel.

No better than peddlers selling snake oil.

You will recover from this and learn from this... And yes, TTR is an awesome site for info.

Good Luck!!!

 

Contact @Chinatown if you are wanting a handful of good non mega companies to consider... He gave me five to check into and I ended up here at Abilene and been very happy I did.

There will be a better place for you to land back on your feet with... Do your homework now before jumping though... No need to repeat one bad experience with another.

And with close to a year of experience, you will have many more options available to you. If you have a clean record to go with that year of experience that is.

Again, good luck!!!!

 

Yes, just stay cool and leave when your 12 mos. is over. Start the applications right now so you can get an orientation set up and won't have a gap in your driving.

It kills me how a company would rather churn the puppy mill and hire new drivers rather than doing minimal things to keep their experienced ones happy. Considering the cost of recruiting, training, and getting a new driver up and going, how is this attitude a profitable business model?

To the original poster, driver I feel sorry for your situation and wish the best for you and your family!
