Thinking of going O/O, Forward Air or Summit Transport?

www.greatwideotr.com has lease-purchase. I worked there as a company driver and many of my workmates switched to lease-purchase and were very successful. They let you choose your own truck from anywhere, if you don't like what they have. The only failure I saw was the guy that picked a truck from a used car lot, that was an old bright pink sleeper Kenworth.

Forward air pays $1 a mile and they run airport terminals at night... are you ok with $1 a mile and running at night?

 

in 2014 maybe. right now my team is $1.61 and solo is $1.44/mi.

Consistency is what makes things work. Running from forward air terminal to forward air terminal eliminates all of the BS delays.

Yes, we run mostly at night (solos), but you get used to it. I get more miles running at night then i ever did running during the day.

Solo trucks never get less than 2500 miles a week.

 

And you really think $1.44 mi. Is good money??

 

My weekly fixed costs are: $22 for occacc coverage and $25 for NTL/PD

Thats it. they cover 100% of my plates, 100% of all tolls, bridges, scales. I will not argue with you, I make very good money.

 

I'm not arguing... just asking your opinion...

 

You were busted at a dollar a mile quit
