Questions about Maverick's lease program here.

No loads are fcfs,first come first served. Most loads pay well,Maverick doesnt like cheap freight any more than I do.

 

Mavericks fuel surcharge increases with the fuel price and they get great fuel discounts. What you see on your fuel ticket isnt what you actually pay. You actually pay less. A $400 fill up may only cost you $350 for example. Yes we are paid weekly. Yes I use fleetnet for breakdowns,but you can use your own shop. However (and this is one of the small things I grumble about) if you dont go thru fleetnet you must pay out of your pocket first then fax Maverick the reciept to be reimbursed from your naintenance account. THEY WILL NO LONGER ISSUE A COMCHEK FROM MAINTENANCE. You can thank those who abused the system with repair requests that were fake to get money from their maintenance account.

 

I dont think they pay a referral on rehires but thanks anyway For future reference after your hired I drive one of just two blue KW's in Mavericks lease fleet,truck 5049.

 

Unless I get a wild idea,no I wont buy it out. I like the benefits of leasing. Keeps me in a good truck and I can qrite off the entire payment which is something you cant do if you go to a dealer and buy a truck.

 

Last four weeks avg per mile $1.766 Pretty decent considering I had a week where I ran a couple of lower paying runs and that week my average was under $1.60/mi. This is for all miles deadhead and loaded.8207mi $14494gross. One week was a short week due to time off.

 

After a truck is that old there wont be much depreciation left to write off. Maybe a year at most. So I just lease another truck to maintain as new a truck as possible. Maintenance will start to eat you alive if you try to run an older truck.
