How is Anderson's freight lately? Particularly the pad wrap and specialized van division?

Do they get any freight to and from Detroit?

It's awfully funny to me how much time you seem to spend on these threads, bemoaning the "fleece purchase" programs out there, and the drivers who are interested in information regarding them, while simultaneously attempting to sound like a knowledgeable "true owner operator." In reality, my contention is that you've probably never even owned a truck. I don't know many true O/O's who whine like a little ###### the way you do.

Wouldn't be surprised if you were burned in the past by a lease deal and therefore continue to endlessly berate anyone who shows the slightest interest in such a program, DESPITE the fact that it's unlikely to be the same program with the same company.

Regardless of WHAT you think, these programs will probably always exist. And so will the drivers who have interest in them. The reasons for that are multitudinous. I'll bet someone like you has never even considered what might happen when, someone does as you say, saving up 10's of thousands to put down on a truck, leases onto a company, only to find out that, not only is said company not that great, but despite his time served as a company driver and the laborious hours of research into becoming a leased on O/O, he is still WOEFULLY out of his depth when it comes to running his business. Add that to a mediocre to bad company, and disaster strikes with little warning. Now, he has a truck that inevitably he needs to sell. What is he to do? Wait for months on end for that run of the mill truck to sell on truckpaper.com? Take less than he needs to sell it for because is currently a down market? And all this while trying to keep up with making those truck payments on a company driver's pay? (Don't forget that he's now a company driver at the same company if he didn't lease onto an O/O ONLY company). If he gets away from that situation with a wash on the truck deal, it'll be nothing short of a miracle.
Alternatively, if he'd gone to a GOOD lease program, and just found out that despite the program being good, he's just not cut out to be a truck driving business owner, he'd be in a walk away lease and worst that happens is he owes them some money for repairs, which would probably be minimal considering he would've probably figured things out relatively quickly. (Few weeks to a few months).
I'll say this once. Repeat after me. ALL leases are NOT created equal.
Just like there are good trucking companies out there and there are bad...and there are companies who got somewhere in the middle.
But you assume because you either A. Got burned by a lease deal at some point, that EVERY lease deal at EVERY company is a bad deal. I know, and know OF quite a number of people who have experienced otherwise.
OR....B. You have actually NEVER leased, and are just going off what you've heard. Don't really care what you've heard. Be it from OOIDA, or Kevin Rutherford or the man in the moon. These people are going based off PERSONAL EXPERIENCE and what has worked out very WELL for them.
Oh. And for the record, no, I'm NOT a lease operator. I just know the advantages and how they can be manipulated to work FOR the driver, if it's the right deal and said driver knows what they're doing and have actually READ their contact.

I looked, because I was bored and curious. Moglar worked for Mercer. That's a respectable company. They don't lease trucks, they lease trailers. They have dispatchers but most of the drivers are running off load boards. The money is good and you have plenty of opportunity to succeed. I am not promoting them, but I have researched them. How he screwed that up is anyone's guess. It sucks for everyone else here though, because now we have to listen to his idiocy. He should have just stayed a company driver. He wasn't prepared, and now he has made it his mission to scare people away from something he couldn't handle. Go back to your parent's basement, Moglar. There is probably a job opening at the local McDonald's that would suit you better.

Mercer has a centrally controlled in house load board. But there are many many loads that are hidden for favorites etc. Many of the loads are re brokered loads. If there are no loads available you must bottom feed and be forced to take the table scraps they have on their in house board. They know they have you by the short hairs lol. They are an Owner Operator mill. Just as many people quit as are marching through the door with delusions of grandeur. Wanna try them out.....be my guest. Lots of nice people there.....but nice don't pay the bills. I am not going to be a fanboi or cheerleader for this company. Owner operator mill,
