My lease adventure

I don't even know what home expenses are... I get 23 cpm and as a team we run at least 6 thousand a week, sometimes we get paid for 8 because of the pay cycles.

 

You know this is the part where some of them guys come in and say that's not much run and look for better opportunities but I feel like it's pretty good for a guy with no experience, no work history, and has spent the last 5 years living on less than 10k a year, and sometimes half that. If I were you, I'd just ride that thing out, and if your company doesn't give you enough work then raise hell with them. A few months ago I was sitting for 3 days. The first two I was ok with because I got to eat well and get some rest, but on the third day I arose from the dead... lol. I called them and told them I had waited long enough and if they didn't give me a load in four hours I was going to drive from minneapolis down to atlanta. I was supposed to be on my home time in a few days and I said I'd just start early. So,about 20 minutes into my trip home, I got a load assigned going home, and since then I haven't stopped. Your employer can only treat you how you let them.

 

Thank You,and your very welcome. There's nothing wrong with working hard and taking chances.Thats how most successful people get were they are. Today we're lucky to have the internet and the ability to have an insane amount
Of information and networking to draw from . Sure there's non sense on here ,but there's a lot of great information.I wish I didn't have to endure a lot of the mistakes I made through the years . I'm interested in many things too ,and like to do my research . I've been in a bunch of other businesses other than trucking through the years . I buy and liquidate equipment ,I've owned 3 restaurants and recently just bought a Farm (I'm not a farmer,We just fell in love with the property and it came with a big commercial shop that I run my business out of) I also just bought a diner on the highway,I've been trying to buy for 10 years and just bought it this past summer. Trucking and taking chances and being an information sponge has helped me do this,with not a lot of credit or money.But quite frankly Putting my faith in God and not worrying about what other people say and learning as much As I can and watching succesful people and respecting their opinion has been some of the most valuable things I've ever learned in life.Good Luck....

 

I think the home expenses are confusing you don’t typically see that. I wouldn’t worry about lease bashers invading your thread, it’s your decision on how you make a living. Good Luck!

 

What are "home expenses"?

 

Exactly. And it doesn't matter what they are when comparing lease purchase to company driver.
