What about a lease program where you're getting 80% of the gross load? I'm in a program like that. They let me get their bulk fuel discount so i'm paying cost+$0.04 for fuel. I'm on a flatbed doing mostly ltl in the rust belt. Last week i netted $3300 on 2000 miles after all my deductions. My deductions are $815/week. I average 5.5 mpg and with my fuel discounts i'm paying about $2.50pg... I got the truck with $0 down and i pay $1164/month for 36 months. I am tied to the company for the term of the lease, but they're good to me and it doesn't seem like i'm losing. They give me settlement statements with the rate confirmations attached. Do you guys think that's a bad deal?

Seems to be a lot of people who have lot's of learnin' coming their way. Company driver paying for the truck ... making payments by driving the company truck? What kind of idiot talk is that? By that logic, one would have to ignore the fact that being on a lease program is paying for the boss' wife's Mercedes as well as the condo for his girlfriend.
But by all means, lease your heart out if you think that's where the "big money" is Looking forward to seeing you guys back here when your perspective has changed.

Lease programs are written to keep you, the lessee hungry, and desperate for whatever work that can come your way. Virtually all of the financial risk on the lease contractor and all of the potential financial reward is assigned to the lessor. (i.e the profit side of the equation is almost 100% on the lessor side, and the lessee side is the "labor component". Not a lot of potential "profit" available in a lease program unless you call labor "profit" and that's just stupid)

OP asked for information on Roadrunner, Not your opinion on the viability of the L/P universe, if you have no information on Roadrunner, get off your high horse and move on. Amazing how people miss completely OP's original posts and go on Rants of there own.....

hey everyone, i am wondering if anyone has any info and thoughts about RoadRunner and their new lease program for 2015. They say they've changed the contracts and drivers are no longer able to find and book their own freight any more. I filled out an app for them, got approved but it seems the recruiter is trying to push me towards running for Bruenger.. I am more interested in running the LTL for Road Runner since i live in Las Vegas and they have terminals down in southern Cali.. I've been doing this long enough to know once they get you out in the midwest or other places, you can either take whats available or sit and starve.. Is there anyone else running for RoadRunner or even Bruenger that can share information, style of running and of money they're making.. I've been combing through these pages and figured I'd ask here..

Thanks in advance

Hi, so if you don't know I am a Bruenger L/P.. I did some research just 2 weeks ago for another driver who had a question about Roadrunner.

They do have the Roadrunner Load Board Plus program.. It sound like the SNI except you lease the trailer also! It is 85% + 100% FSC.. I like Bruenger, but maybe next year after I become more educated and am finically where I want to be, I might change.

If you decide to come to RR or BRU or AA EXPRESS, R&M or Sarget or where ever, I would highly recommend a new truck..

I pay 200.00 more a week with the new truck, but I also get 500,000 mile warranty, 100,000 bumper to bumper, 450,000 on the drive train ( freightliner warranty). I get average of 7.8 mpg and this here has more than made up for the $200.00

Bruenger has a lot of meet that goes to the west coast and we have a Broker named Paul who lives in Las Vagas as well.. He handles produce in that area so getting home weekly or every other week would be do able imo...

Anyway good luck with ur decision..
