I do have money for a headache rack and have been shopping around. I bought out all my current gear and own plenty to run.
I’ll take a look at a few of the options you suggested. Great advice thank you.

Right now I’m paying about $1,200 a week or over $62.4K/yr and $249,500 per the four year lease.
Running on my own, even if I didn’t make any more income than currently, I could significantly reduce my fixed costs on a used truck and rented trailer. For example a truck through Lone Mountain is between $5-30k down, with payments around $1,500 per month over a 40 month term. That would be a game changer for me, and my bills back home are very lean. Mortgage + taxes are paid for through rental income. My personal vehicle is paid in full.
That’s the primary reason I’m shopping around. Feel like I’m getting #### hosed at my current company, who dropped me over 1,000 miles deadhead away from home last time I requested it, and only schedule me for $3k in gross revenue last week putting me into negative paycheck territory.blairandgretchen and 77fib77 Thank this. -

What part of the country you live in makes a big difference with l/s.
Land star has it's perks and it's problems. Self dispatching takes a little getting used to. I don't want to offer any advise but I will. Keep what you have saved up. And start a another savings for a used truck off of market place. While building this account you will be getting more experience. And you won't have to worry about a payment until your sure you want to stay leased on. Cause if you quite a lease you still have a payment. Also look into the LLC. Vs LLC s corp and LLC c corp.
And even if you don't have it. Make sure your app with them shows snow experience.
But to get on with them all you need is a 2290. Which is 550.00. after being there for a year I would by my own plates thou.
