Left you a note!

Look up!

Again, you post something and take it down. There are no notes on my profile page. You change your profile to a hand-written note of some sort. If that's what you are referring to, it makes no sense. I cannot make out what it is talking about.

Out of respect for others on this thread and in an attempt to keep this thread from getting lock, I will disengage conversations from the person.

Hi everyone I'm Michael, 26 years old and I've been in a lease purchase with Malone since June 12th.

I already know.... save it. OMG they suck what're you thinking, haven't you heard the stories, Lease purchase really???

Now let me tell you the truth.

I run with a lot of freedom, we have a load board with between 350-1000 loads posted on it at any given time, and about 50 agents working with us that we pull freight for. I have a fleet manager who I rarely speak to and don't need to to be successful.

I have a 2013 cascadia for $375 a week and 185 a week trailer rental. EVERYTHING minus windshields is covered bumper to bumper until September 2017 on my truck. After that I will enter a different period of maintenance. After insurance everything my weekly expenses are 918.74 a week, before fuel.

I know what you want to hear, MONEY how much money right? Since getting my truck on June 12th and taking three weeks off one vacation, two for the loss of my wife's father. Not counting this week.

I've ran 19,798 miles including deadhead miles, and I've generated $39,629.55 worth of revenue. Average weekly bring home before setting aside for taxes 1250-2600

How? I am an extremely motivated greedy son of a gun who is after every dollar he can get, NYC, east west I don't care I run everywhere. I keep myself pre planned, and give excellent customer service. I am willing to tarp, chain and strap anything that will fit on the deck or get permits for what doesnt. I can be home every weekend if need be. The reviews on here before me failed because of to much home time, a nagging wife asking when their coming home and bad BUSINESS decisions. I have a 7 month old daughter and an amazing supportive wife at home, failing isn't an option. Multiple combat tours didn't make me a man, I only grew up faster. Men take responsibility and take care of their own. I love my family and want to be home, however I grew up with little, and letting them go without isn't an option. So I try to get through the house every couple weekends.

If your interested I will try to keep in contact with what I'm doing weekly and how I'm making out.

MALONE is my favorite company in the three years I've been driving commercially.

Thursday I picked up two steel coils taped in Savannah GA paying $700 on 270 miles to Marietta GA. Unloaded same day and slept in Commerce GA at the TA. Loaded Friday morning in Jefferson GA for a load of Kubota tractors paying $850 on 393 miles to Lynchburg VA and went home until Monday. Delivered Monday and picked up no tarp pipe in Lynchburg VA paying $2700 on 1262 miles going to Kearney NE to finish the week. Delivered yesterday and started my first load this week. Grand Island Nebraska to Heyburn, Idaho no tarp plastic pipe $2163 on 920 miles. Currently in Snowville Utah for the night at the flying hook.

Hope you follow, feel free to hate and down on me. Theirs a 100% you never step foot under my table to eat, therefore your opinions are only words.

May high rates bless you,
Mich

Don't listen to jimmy wells, I've been with malone for a year now. It all depends on who you have for a dispatcher I've pulled brokered stuff out of areas we have our own loads, mainly because I needed to go in a direction towards the house and our freight wasn't going that way. The main office is actually giving bonuses away for new "organic" business. Meaning that if you know a company and you set up the load and hammer out the rates malone will pony up. It's silly to think that they would restrict a truck from earning as much as possible or from expanding their customer base. they still want their 25% they don't care where it comes from for the most part.

Would you recommend Malone to other drivers? Is it still make your own destiny and choose loads off of a load board?

You should totally sign up with Malone. You'll be rich in no time and make sure you lease purchase one of their fine pieces of equipment.

You'll be the next Trump, driver! Blame it all on your dispatcher if it doesn't work out.
