Hi there, I just came across this thread.. I'm in the same boat as you were when you posted the first question. Just checking if you found a company to lease to and how is that going?

I have leased to a few companies and run my own authority on a few. I have found the smaller companies CAN be good, IF your have the right dispatcher in place.
Currently the company i am leased to pays 80% of total Gross, including FSC, i'm averaging $2 a miles and dong 5K a week on a 5 day week without killing myself. Some weeks a little better. The Dispatcher i deal with is rather good at putting together lanes and watching the rates and areas to send me so he has been doing a pretty darn good job of keeping my rate per mile up there. I don't think i have done less then $2 a mile yet, (on a weekly average).
I generally run the Eat coast, but has others that run most of the 48. he can do whatever you prefer and home time as you want.
Its a small company and he only wants to deal with a handful of trucks, so he can pay good attention to them.
If your interested in the company i'm running with let me know, just message me.

Hey everyone, I have a couple trucks I received out of a death in the family, and was wondering what company/companies are good to lease on to. My idea is to hire a couple drivers, put them on the truck, and then lease the trucks into a company. I work full time as a flight instructor now, so I no longer want to drive myself, so I'd like to use the trucks just as a way to make a residual income. I'm not looking to get rich by any means, just looking to make a few extra bucks and get a couple people working. I have some money in the bank already to cover expenditures as well as break downs for when they occur too. So, what do you guys think. I appreciate all comments and advice.

Thank you, Brian.

If you lease to an average company that takes 14%-15% after percentage you will come out with 1.70-1.80 per mile average. Maybe you will make $1k per truck per month if you got payments on the truck . If you pay someone $. 55c per mile, lets say they do 2500loaded+500empty miles=3000total You will recive estimated $2200 (includes truck insurance, trl rental, qualcomm, fuelprepass, ezpass,) for the week - $1500 to pay the driver = $700 goes to you for the week. From which if truck is not paid off you have to make truck payments & you have to pay for repairs and maintenance. Repairs and maintenance is on average $1000 per month +-. So if your trucks are paid off you're looking at $2k income +- per truck. If you still got payments on the trucks good luck, it will be just money coming and going,
