mesilla valley any good?

Their trucks are hideous. They look like the year 1992 got drunk and threw up down the side of the truck.

 

Lol I like the trucks but some of the rudest drivers . sit in fuel aisle to eat subway when each lane had 3 waiting trucks. Just 1 example.

 

Be prepaired to deal with trailer tails.

 

Trailer tails are areo dynamic appratus's that attach to rear of trailer that you have to fold and unfold. Pain in the butt.

 

Don't worry about the tails...if you choose to open it, (most don't), they are specifically designed to close on impact...

 

Well where do I begin !!! Back in when there was paper logs you could run and make money as an owner operator, I had a lease with them and eventhough it was and still is very expensive I was bringing home about 5-6 k a month solo, that lasted about 2 years from 09- to December '11 then I got a lymphoma and turned the truck in since I couldnt pay a driver and pay for my treatment out of pocket, after quimo and got cleared by doctor made the wise choise to go back and leased a '11 prostar $2,365.77 bucks a month plus all their bs charges and repair shop scams, I began to struggle to make a decent living, so my wife deceded to get her cdl license so we could run team, well from Nov '12 thru about Nov '13 we where bringing home about 8 - 11 k a month together, the highest settlement was 21k in may '12, we where making it big all of this while on paper logs, well I guess the owner Royal Jones or his team of arrogant crooks dindn't like owner ops to do well any more !!! By January '13 management implemented a .10 cent per mile deduction for a mainteinance scrow account, on top of an already $10,000 scrow since signing the contract that (could of been used to pay off the truck early), on top of e-logs, Steve york the sales man/lease cotracting agent told me that by the end of of the year they would return half of that mainteinance scrow to us and the reminder was to be keept in that account till the lease was paid for, they only gave me back 8k out of around $24 k, the whole year my wife and I running about 18,000 miles a month where bringing home about the same when I was running solo 5-6 k a month thats not including paying our taxes,home, full time child care etc., in the end We returned their truck back and got out of the MVT bussines, I will not do it a third time and can only advise any OP to not do it or do the numbers and brace your self because , I told you so !!!
