Limited miles

What's wrong with 33k miles in a quarter? That's 11k miles per month. I usually run between 9 and 11k per month as a solo driver.

 

You might be onto something. Most lease deals involve a mileage over charge for exceeding a certain amount of miles in a given time. It could be that your company is throttling back on your miles to save a buck at your expense.

 

I've never leased but I have read plenty post on how bad it is.I would say it depends on the company.I'm curious to know why lease operators can't find their own loads like owner ops can.I mean aren't lease drivers more or less a glorified. company driver?

 

Semi truck leases don't operate like a car lease. You don't get a set amount of mile you are allowed. You pay for every mile. 10 to 12 cpm anymore seems to be the norm. It's just the way your freight is running. That the difference in how many days it take to do the miles. I think it more likely the company had a certain threshold they have to reach every quarter. So if you reach it in 10 days or 40 days it doesn't matter

 

I drove for a company that leases trks from the dealer but doesn't have any lease ops theyre all company drivers.

 

I was a mechanic for Ryder and pac lease. That's how I know how they charge. Of course when I got out it was only about 5cpm. That was about 15 years ago.
