Husband is a new trucker, please help!

All lease programs are usually designed to make the company money not the driver.
Look at it this way you will pay the payments on their truck, insurance, plates, repairs, fuel, etc and will get peanuts for the job while the trucking company will get paid alot of money.
Most lease programs are set up to mess drivers out of money and make the companies more money.

There can be some weeks were your hubby will end up owing the company more money than he made that week then he will be in the hole and get no check.
Do you think the company will loose sleep over you not being able to pay bills, eat, put clothes on your back? heck no.

You need to pound it in his head to stay away from the leese idea.
He needs to stay as a company driver for a while 1 year plus before he even thinks about buying his own truck or leasing one.

If you put lipstick and other makeup on an ugly pig will it still be a ugly pig? Of course it will be.

I do not how else to put it not to lease.

 

thats cool they offerd me the ticket but ive took to many long bus rides down south so as long as they give me my money back i will be happy. so how long before he gets his own truck? does your husband smoke ciggs? where in michigan you guys from iam in chesterfield just off I-94 and 23 mile rd?

 

i do know that one thing is good about that lease is that it will help you establish credit if your credit needs boosting. then maybe he can own his own truck just a thought???

 

hey, i see you guys are in westland i lived on palmer & wildwood bout 10 yrs ago! lol! my buddy ed lives off of cherryhill. iam on the eastside now macomb county, mi. "small world"

 

It will only establish credit if you can keep afloat, Trust me, the only one that will benefit from a lease is the company. If you default on the lease, and they count on it, you will lose the truck and they will lure some other sucker into it.

 

That's good thinking, right there.

 

thats cool seems like you guys have a plan. Hope everything works out for you and him. I think am making the right choice with stevens ive heard bad things but the good seem,s to out weigh the bad anyway and i dont have many bills right now either thank god, or i wouldnt be going to stevens, LOL.

 

so your saying he,s gonna be on a dedicated rout soon, thats cool he,ll be home more often and average the same pay pretty much?
