Need to make money

please don't try the coolaid

 

this is what the roadrunner recruiter sent me

 

That doesn't sound great. I've heard worse, but all the "savings" aren't quantified. Tire discounts: what if it's $5? Still a discount.... $185 a week for access to the trailer pool is a payment on new trailer. Up to $80 per stop off, but I didn't see a minimum on that..

I don't know anyone that runs for them, nor have anything to gain by putting them down.

Doesn't seem terrible. Not good tho either.

 

Yesir its a lot of variables, but I will continue to investigate before I do anything,also looking into greatwide

 

$185/week for a trailer seems high -- that'd buy a whole new trailer every 3 years!

$3 per $1000 seems excessive for physical damage insurance. And WTF is backhaul insurance?

I haven't looked at too many leases, but a $1500 IFTA escrow seems excessive.

$0.75-$1.00/mile is very low for someone providing their own trailer -- especially with no mention of fuel surcharge.


I may be missing something, but from that info I'd look elsewhere.

 

Yes some off the lanes are very cheap,and yes it sounds a bit pricey, if you stumble up on anymore info,please let me know, lease purchase seems like the only way I will ever be able to save up a nice down payment for a truck from a dealership, definitely don't expect to own a truck through at least purchase program just hoping to save up enough money for a down payment

 

Not sure why you don't lease onto Landstar. You would do much better with them.

 

I have to get a truck first

 

Yes I hear if you learn the system and run the right lanes you can do well or a dedicated run
