    85 cent per mile or percentage which will equal 85 cent per mile? A big company wants to make money too

    Ah ok. A percentage driver that i spoke with had some really good pay checks, guess all we can do is go for it and pray God shows us favor with them and we get some good loads then! Thank you for not being negative toward them, that in itself means a lot!

    You'll do fine. Like I said your not looking down the gun barrel at a $180K truck. There's a slight difference in a $1100 month truck payment, and a $2400 month truck payment. And you will have it paid off in 24 months, not 48 or 60. They do exceptional maintenance of their fleet equipment, which is what you will be purchasing, one of their used fleet trucks. The crossed T's, dotted I's, have been hashed out countless times on form threads.
    You'll pretty much roll around the Midwest too, you get small hills in Kentucky and Pennsylvania but it's mostly flat. And that is where a lot of the best paying freight is. The most money I ever made was with JB Hunt loads.
    Good luck.
     
    Malachi Thanks this.

    It isn't possible to do fine at 85 cpm. I don't care if they give you the truck for free. Anyone that thinks you can make money on 85 cpm failed basic math in grade school.

    Money problems are the number one reason
    For divorce.
    Leasing a truck has a 90 percent failure rate.
    Just saying!

    Thank you, we're pretty solid. Money won't make us or break us, it would just be nice to reap better rewards for our labors! Praying this is the right choice!
