    well $500 of that was a PM, DOT, and Winsheild.

    the rest was air leaks, 2 air manifolds, several fittings, and the TCS light was on... mostly labor as usual

    View attachment 37499 well got that load of dust delivered on monday, first to williston get a call nonono we need that in belfield all is good we pay you the extra money ok cool i get to belfeild and monday morning just about to head to the rig to unload i get a call nonono we need that at our yard in watford city no worry we pay for the extra miles.. called the agent and got a confirmation on that they did pay me from kootneani id to williston to belfield to watford city.

    all is good there, got a call from Matt hey there is a OS crane part load in shelby ummm that is a 500 mile bounce he said lets come up with a number plus permits so we did and got paid for the bounce got here last night, well it is really windy today so no load today, but got my permits lined up

    according to the weather wind is suppose to die down around midnight so should get loaded tomorrow and fly to wisconsin to unload and hopefully get something out of there to stay busy, plan to stay in the middle region and get home for trick or treat day with the kiddo's

    im looking at possibly financing my truck out through a bank or my credit union and get a fixed payment and hopefully take some more money home but all in all things are going ok for now

    I had someone tell me that Sammons does not offer their Lease program anymore. Is this true?

    We still have our lease purchase program. We don't have plans on stopping as long as we continue to have people paying off and happy in the program.

    I hate to keep coming back with these questions, but I'm very interested in Sammons and though I don't qualify now I have a plan worked out to get the necessary experience to qualify. I'd hate to go through that and find out it was for nothing. I spoke to another driver who told me that he just spoke to a recruiter from Sammons. This was our most recent conversation.

    He said:

    read through this thread you will see you will always take money home if you are working...

    avg for me was 2700 a month paid on a 1099 you never go negative ever on take home money... you can go backwards on the loan its self due to maintence

    I did read the thread and found it informative. It is where I got most of my info initially. I just wanted to make sure that everything I heard was still correct for new hires and that I had not misunderstood anything. I don't want to call BS on another driver without being sure my own facts are in order.

    Why not just call Sammons and ask them yourself?
