husband intersted in lease purchase

Freight is slow across the board. As a company driver making 33 cents a mile or so it's pretty bad, but with a lease right now it's worse. The fixed expenses require about the first 1800 miles a week to cover those, and then you can start to make some money after that. But with miles being just about 1800 +/- a week, you're basically working for the truck some weeks, oweing after a week's work other weeks, and then making $300 or so on good weeks.

It just doesn't pay right now and companies are pushing it to get their trucks paid for and freight delivered basically for free, and no shortage of takers in site. This story is reported over and over again in the forums.

I can't imagine why someone would offer to buy you a truck and trailer, but maybe you could expand on that. These things rarely turn out how they are envisioned once things get put down to paper and expectations are defined.

 

RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !
Don't look back. Don't ever make a payment for a trucking company.

 

NOW YOU STARTED OFF RIGHT BY ASKING QUESTIONS.there are several compamys out there that wil give you a lease purchas deal but i dont recomend any of them all the money you make goes to the company and very little left for you it really is ruff.
NOW PRODUCE: thats a fifferent story, now first you have to ask yourself can you run hard and i mean non stop when you load you have to turn and burn its got to get to market and that is not an easy thing to do i started out in this business haulling produce a long time ago im just to ###### old to run that hard anymore. BUT if you can that is where the money is at it pays real good , but you got to be carefull all prodice loads are temperture controled and you got to make sure the temp is right and keep it right . but if you can stand the pace you can make some real good money doing it. hope this helps and good luck. ----SOUTHERNPRIDE
