Are you planning on running team over here on the choice board? Because if you are I can tell you flat out you will be miserable I know several teams that stopped running team over here and bought their own trucks and they were husband and wife and they're making more money with individual trucks and they were as a team

Before I quit I was running ,as a company team and all we ran was 400-800 mile loads most of the time up and down the East coast

Wellllllll I just called recruiting and was informed teams go on the team board, solo turning into a team would go on the team board.
I said well I normally do shorter loads and have an understanding and experience based on the solo board, is there anyway a team could stay on the solo board and run those loads?
No, it is a requirement teams go on the team board.. that's the answer I got.
Also was told part of the reason is to protect the solo drivers as a team could dominate a small region piling on shorter loads which would hurt the solo drivers working/living in that area.
(In my mind... OH SHEET that was my idea lol)
Oh well, there goes that idea.
I see what longer loads pay here and yeah no way lol. -
I hope your plan A (and mine) is still an option. That is paying off the residual with the ton of cash you've saved. $400 per week over 3 yrs covers the residual.
I was told SFI will finance just a portion of the residual too. Give them say half in cash, finance the other, and the weekly nut would seem like nothin' compared to before.
Even if I managed to save it all, it would be tough to give it all up and see the bank balance afterwards. -
The security deposit put up for the lease becomes your down payment at that point.
For me it would be about $630 a week for two years and then I'd have the title.
I would never fork over $60,000 in cash for a truck.
Sheet happens and it's smart to have cash handy for a rainy day. I don't mind paying a little interest in effort of keeping my cash handy. That's just me though. -
Opus Thanks this.

If this truck becomes a constant problem I'm not going to hang onto it.
