Cool company average 2400 to 3100 miles a week. Im doing the lease purchase program. 2012 cascadia started off with 475,000 miles currently at 619,025 ive had lots of problems with my truck breaking down lol my maitenence account has to be in the negative had got to put truck in the shop truck wont go into lower gear sometimes because of a minor air leak but i will do that during hometime.

What more do people expect when doing a lease purchase on a used truck? My ragedy truck is my only complaint but i picked so it is what it is. Instead of crying about it and quitting i will finish paying for it because for the most part it pays the bills and take care of the family bring in up to 2,100$ on a good week (3,000+miles)and 500 on a bad week due to mechanical difficulties (1,200 miles). If i had no truck note i could add 500 to both good weeks and bad weeks. A bad week allways reminds me that i can drive 2 days and still pull in 1,000 dollars a week once truck is paid for.

Next october 10/01/2020 i will have completed the lease purchase program willing to stay with the company if they can find me something dedicated near my house otherwise i will be looking for something local just to be home.

Cons i dont like is there is no cash advances after first paycheck but they do allow up to 3 at 75$ every other day during first week. They say its because u make enough money not to need any. I once got in a bind i had 5k$ in my bank acouunt so i spent a 2 weeks at home by the time i spent 4k$ i decided to go back to work and what do you know my truck broke down had me in the shop for 2 weeks at this point i was 5 truck notes behind and instead of deducted everything they just added it to the end of my truck note.

Accounting will work with you as well by moving fuel around if you get behind on something in order for you to recieve a check.

I get home usually when i need to if i let them know ahead of time. 7 to ten days. Not much frieght runs by my house every now and then i get a reset at home if i stayed in ga on up i would get home alot but i dont.

I guess another con is if you taking your time to the shipper and its friday night plan on sitting for the weekend allways try to get where u need to be early and have atleast 4-6 hours left on your clock by friday to go and pick something up very rare to get dispatched during saturday and sunday if they do then its usually something to pick up monday.

Pro i just got a load from Louisiana to nevada 2,173 miles loaded 97 empty paying 3,000$ hopefully i can run back to Louisiana from there for a good week.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I got the call for the offer to come join then for the lease program. How long is the lease program for and is the freight consistent even though the winter months? Thanks for the post

What day of the week do you get paid on? Monday or Friday?

I was supposed to be done paying my truck off in January only to get a call telling me allstate hasn't been making the truck or insurance payments and the trucks up for repo. Now I can't get ahold of anyone for an explanation.

It appears this Speakerbully person is happy with his situation although most responders are telling him he is wrong and it won't work out. Speakerbully, congratulations. Good job on setting goals and stucking to them regardless of what the bitter think or say. The ones responding here who can't understand what you are doing are fear based closed minded thinkers.

Well it’s been 2 years since he last responded-we haven’t heard anything since.
