Leasing and DEF Systems

Maybe look into a glider. They were made up until last year.

 

I've no idea what numbers they're giving you. My numbers are adequate for my needs. If I log 2500 miles I have a tough time netting less than $4k. That's just pulling a regular company dryvan, but I'm in the process of leveling up.

 

Where are you located?

 

Look, I've been doing this for almost 30 yrs so you can take what I say is as valuable as a grain of salt. My first 2 1\2 yrs was company driver then leased O/O, then my own authority for the last 15 yrs. Find a good company to lease to and learn the ropes, then get your own authority if you feel confident. Buy a new truck if you have the credit. A used truck could cost you a lot more money unless you are a mechanic also. Either way, make sure you have a huge credit line or savings because this can become a money pit. ALSO, purchase a truck that has resale and well-made, like by PACCAR.

 

Keep in mind, that's merely net in the context of the carrier's cut. Then out of that I still have to pay fuel, maintenance, repairs, insurance, etc.
