How are you guys lease purchases going?

$1.00 a mile, are you referring to pay? Because that is starvation!

 

lol

 

I wouldn't even LOOk at my truck for a $1.00 a mile OMG is he for real???????????

 

you missed the freedom while you were leasing???seriously??? what is freedom in your opinion?? how can you have freedom when you lease and work under some's authority??

 

so, you made "good money" but when your truck broke down , prime "will front the money for repair"? seriously?? what is "good money" for you? more than what you made as McDonald employee?? you made good money , but you did not have the money to take care of your equipment?
unfortunately, people like yourself are helping big companies and mega carriers to destroy this industry. you are a cheap labor . that is the reason those companies can lower their rates, because of you guys.

 

This the stupid idea that most truckers have regarding being O/O. I'm 100% independent O/O and I can tell you that I've never drove more than 60k miles per year. no contracts and I make more money than most "O/O" make, because I work smart . I drive when broker pays my rate and I don't do back hauls.( that is the most stupid way of doing business) I drive when I get pay what I ask , period. and I have been doing this for over 11 years. lately, after 2022, Ive been driving 3k-4k miles per month, so I have more time than is needed to run my business.

 

I have been doing lp for about 3.5 years now and I am keeping up on my bills and just made a 5k check Friday. I think any lp would work if deductions are low and you can use the majority of brokers
