Currently leased to a friend, I know big mistake. I pay 10%, my own fuel, repairs (sometimes they help with labor no money though as we are all handy), insurance, and they bought a trailer before I was ready and I agreed to make the payments. I make the trailer payment every month about 650. But in my honest opinion feel that 10% is a little much being that I pay for everything already. Yes, I do have my dot and mc just never got the insurance. I just never wanted to start a business again and when they found out how workman's comp was i just screw it I'll help get you off the ground. Now a year later we are still treading the same water. I have plans of putting a driver in a truck but hesitant as they may try charge the same 10%. So asking you guys if I am just being to naive or?
Currently leased but wondering g if it's even fair.

This is your truck right?

10% for them supplying cargo insurance and lining up all the loads and collections is fair.Another Canadian driver, Aamcotrans, bzinger and 4 others Thank this. -
10% is a little on the low side.
That's the trade off on being leased.Another Canadian driver, Aamcotrans and Danh85 Thank this. -
This guy able to lease on new drivers at that rate? I'd be all over it.
Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
I don’t see the problem.
10% is fair.
Your truck, your fuel.
You don’t have an ACTIVE dot number cause you never got insurance.
I pay $720/month for my trailer.
I’d say usually 80/20 or even 85/15 if he’s gotta find loads and wait 15-30-60 or up to 90 days to collect money from freight from brokers.Another Canadian driver, Danh85, Speed_Drums and 2 others Thank this. -

I was set up with quick pay for one broker out of MN, cause they pay between 30-45 days, i never used the quick pay, it was either 2.5 or 3% from smart freight funding/bulkloads.
I’ve called that company several times over the years about loads, and last time was yesterday, but they always want to pay $250 less then loads I’ve hauled for others going to same destination.
So i’ve yet to use them.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
