Is this really legal?

And do not borrow money against your pay.

If you are broke you are broke. Borrowing just makes it worse.

At some point no money, no fuel unable to take a load when they do call you with one is a problem.

As far as withholding names in fear of a hundred posts of kllm sucks or whatever it may be, this is the Internet you will have to wade through the pile to pick out the few good posts.

No one is obligated to give you miles. If the loads are not working out for you profitably, find another company. If it really gets bad, you might sell your truck and just be a company driver.

 

Don't think the poster can sell the trk...
He's on the share cropper rental program

 

What if they don't have any more miles to give him !!

 

I'm not a betting person, but I'll bet a dollar to a donut the company trucks are getting plenty of miles.

 

Let me guess, company man told you that and also guessing you didnt read the contract.

 

Haven't seen firsthand any drivers actually Pay off a truck on a lease purchase program.It's a legal Scam.Mark the price up on the truck and get a free driver till he/she "Quits".The lease to the next "victim".In In the meantime the company gets "Payed for you to drive ie.A free worker.

 

Yep...
It's amazing how they never seem to run out of victims to pay off their equipment

 

Run out of victims, there lined up around the
Block to sign up for it. There's more suckers
Looking to lease than the companies have trucks
And freight for them to pull.

But you can't tell them that.
As one lease driver recently told me,
You can't make no money as a company driver.
I just walked away. You can't argue with stupid.

 

As a new fish looking to enter the trade, I thank you all for the insight. No lease program, got it.
