Current Lease Owners??

actually, from the info i got, the only fee that's required (if you bring your own trk) is the fee for their cargo insurance... you can choose not to get a qual com, you can choose not to use their liability insurance, and you can choose not to have them do your fuel taxes also.. but they require you to use their cargo insurance... i dont know about the t-calling loads.. that's one of the things i'm trying to find out from a current lease owner.. but as of now i pretty much never t-call a load.. i know in the six/seven months i've been working for them, i can count the number on my hands and feet.. but then again i am a company driver and that may change once i'm a contractor... once again, a reason to come here and ask questions. i got a good six months to figure it all out so i'm in no rush.

 

i know, i was looking around and thought that it'd be ok to lease from them because they'd really want to run me, but then the horror stories about getting short miles at the end of the lease and going butt cheeks up surfaced.. so i was like nah.. did the math on the trucks they were leasing.. and i figured i'd come out better buy a truck that i really wanted with a few extra miles, but have the ability to take it to another carrier if i wanted to.

 

thanks alot sir, i appreciate you informing me instead of hoe slapping me across the face to even mentioning leasing to such a "horrible" company. once again, many thanks.

 

Ok, last lease owner I talked to was at the Hutchins, TX yard and he had only a few months left on he Volvo. But he said they've changed the program simce he's been in it. He said the whole ballon payment thing started after he got his truck.
