good and bad on leasing a truck

hahahaha.......just do a search for prime lease but h prob wont listen it is all milk and honey at prime so i here

 

when you lease You gotta run hard and stay away from home if you wan't to make money. Im speaking from experience. You gotta hold back about $8,000.00 per year for the tax man. All repairs come out of your pocket like tires, oil changes, and worse.

 

Ask IP, hes a L/O. He runs a successful lease truck. He started a thread about it on here.

 

IP is a mutant, a one percenter that can hang with the lease. Lock yourself in for up to three years and hope and pray your fleet manager can keep you from going broke.

 

Like the post before, its all milk and honey, ask yourself why the hotel fills up every week with new recruits. I recently looked at a few used lease trucks maint records and see where they had three or four different operators in less than a year.. Look at the qualcomm issues they have with Maint dept and gives you an idea of their frustration. Pray you don't get a lemon..

 

How well does he do as a company driver in terms of average miles per week?

 

I think that if you are not leasing at Prime, you should keep your ill informed comments to yourself. Not everyone was meant to run a business, and that is what it is, a business. If you failed to make it, I would suggest looking in the mirror before passing judgment.
