    I;m an O/O and run for them out of VA and the MAIN run I do is 136 miles empty and 136 miles loaded paying $505 Rates may differ based on where your at BUT they will take care of you and you can run how you want. I know they do alot of Atlanta to Jacksonville,FL; sometimes loaded both ways and making good money. The Atlanta terminal ranks in the top 5 for money made and there are ALOT of First Coast offices. The best run they offer is hauling stacked chasis's over to the rail yard, maybe 15 miles total!! I wish the VA office had weekend work sometimes BUT it's your choice to run the weekend or go home.

    As far as the lease purchase goes; they are good trucks and unlike most companies if you go in the hole with maintenance they just put it at the end of your lease instead of taking your whole paycheck.

    Anymore questions ask and I will answer what I can as my friend leased to them for 2 years before he took a local fuel hauling job
     
    Truckinfamilyman Thanks this.

    From what I hear they are pretty good. Excellent rates for o/o's. L/P not bad either.. And I think it's 105 to take the stack 5 miles round trip literally..

    I've got my letter of intent from First Coast and I will have my truck by the end of this week. I heard from some local drivers that most of the runs are to Jacksonville and back. Is it any runs that will get me home daily on a consistent basis? Don't get me wrong, I will "settle" if I have to. Just trying to draw up the best game plan possible for me and the fam.

    Do you work with them? I was told that I could make anywhere from 1200-3k a week. Want to know if that's true from some body who work with them.
