    I've been leased to them for 3 years come may

    I don't deal with the Birmingham office and don't stray far from the house so I might not be of much help but I'll try to answer any questions I can

    How's the money?
    do you get home on weekends?
    How is their dispatch system or coordinator?
    What about the deductions?

    For the area I run and what I haul the money's pretty good, we are far from the cheapest carrier to hire around here.

    I only do short haul out and back loads so I'm generally home daily.

    We have the driver manager and load planner setup.

    The only deduction I have that's not insurance is $3 a week for transflo, I had my own truck and trailer before I came here so I'm not much help in this department if you're going to be pulling their trailer or lease purchase a truck.

    Truck payments are around 475 a week. Trailer payments are around 250 for a truck with a conestoga. 9.5% of the gross goes into a maintenance account. Flatbed equipment was around 1800. Bobtail insurance was 35. Physical damage was 154 on the truck per month. It was like 70 in the trailer. Occupational insurance was 47 a week.

    If you have a truck, be better to just start with you own. If you start with one of the trucks they have, unless you go bankrupt or they terminate you, they won’t want to take it back. They will help you sell it, for a fee, to someone looking to get a truck.
