Boyd Lease Purchase drivers?

Thanks again.

On average, what is your take home pay? You said you have to "lease" for 6 monnths, right? before you can lease purchase? So that is 6 months of work with out making payments? or how does that work out. Do they train you for load securement? You take your truck home on home-time? Can you add air tabs or oil bypass filters, etc.. Can you PM your email address? I got a lot more questions to ask.

Thanks,

Jaosn.

 

Yeah, 6 months on lease with weekly truck payments, then lease purchase you make weekly truck payments for the length of your lease purchase contract. They train you on your second week with load securement class. You can take your truck home. You probably could add those stuff but I would check with Wade on that part.

 

is a lease purchase the way to go or is it better to be a company man

 

You just proved your intelligence by stating you multiply the mpg x the fsc. Enjoy your recruiting bonus. What your doing is just plain wrong!

 

With the current market I'd say company. Maybe if this year turns out the way they say it will then maybe a lp. The truth is in the years I've been at Boyd I've only seen a hand full of guys pay off their truck. the rest of them fail and then go back to being a company driver just like the three drivers I ran into in bham the last time I was there.

Im wrong but I've been successful at doing it then paid my truck off. Maybe you just wrong, that's why you can't do it. But I'm not going to sit on this tread and argue with someone who thinks they know it and really don't.

 

To tell you the truth, it all depends on if you determine to work hard and know that there are going to be times you can't get 3000 miles a week, every week. There are going to be times you can't get home every weekend and still hit 2800 miles every week either. If you run your truck like a business, there's no reason you can't make it. Just don't go purchasing cars and a home. Save that money up and pay that truck off early.

 

Something else I think slapshot didn't calculate in, if you fuel at the given fuel stops you don't pay the pump price. That's what adds to the FSC.

 

I've been debating on several companies to do a L/P but I've also seen Boyd with KW900. Do they lease those as well or no?!? And do u pay for ur fuel or does it come out at the end of the week. I miss the road been off 4 months wanting to go bak but as a L/Per

 

If that W900 was red then that is one of the WTI's O/O. If you have your own truck, or have your L/P paid off, you go under Boyd Independent Express.
