    Title says it.

    Looking for truck with less than 400,000 miles. Freightliner will be okay. 10 speed, no automatics. Willing to pay $400/week for 2 years with $1 buyout on a truck that I approve. Also willing to lease purchase trailer. No money down. Will not pay for any maintenance issues until I own the equipment outright after the 2 years. Until then, it's still yours, you pay the maintenance. If not, then a full 2 year warranty is fine.

    Plates and all permits should be included in the $400/week. I can purchase bobtail insurance separately.

    Compensation must be $1.50/mile all miles, or 80% of gross. If paid on %, I must have access to all rate sheets. I must also be given access to loadboard(s) that you use in case I want to try and look for my own freight when dispatch is busy. Must be paid at least every 2 weeks.

    If interested, please message me privately.

    Dry van only.

    Over 4 years OTR experience with spotless record. Have current medical card w/long form, renewed recently.

    Please don't message me with BS.

    Thanks!

    reason no one has answered you is things your demanding is unrealistic. and as a company owner let me ask whats in it for the company? anyone would def lose money on this deal. I dont think you even understand how the industry works. your looking for a 2010 truck for only $400 a week for 2 years really they may as well give you a truck. as an owner operator it is your responsibility to maintain equipment if company had to take care of maintenance the biggest expense they may as well hire a company driver at least then there assured to make money. there again 80% of gross really again not gonna happen and plates will never be included into that formula so now your only paying like 375 a week for the truck. let me tell you how it works in the real world.

    you will pay $625 per week for the truck plus you pay your own bobtail insurance. company will provide $100,000 cargo and $1,000,000 liability Insurance company will usually get your base plates/Permits but you pay it back $25 a week for that. you might get a 1 year limited warranty on truck you will not get access to the same loadboard the company uses because companies do not use load boards they go through the brokers directly. just as my company does the loads on the boards are mostly crap loads that the brokers couldn't push out. basicly you will be paying your own maintenance as you will be getting paid more like 70% of the load I do pay 80% of load to my o/o only if they own there own trailer otherwise 70% best ive seen was 75% so your looking at minimum $685 a week after you tack on bobtail insurance and cab card and that isnt counting qualcomm rentals that the larger companies will tack on. I wouldnt expect it to get much better then this.
