johnn5272000, Can you break down the lease purchase plan for me when you have time? Or just tell me the basics of it? Like how long is the lease for and do they have a balloon payment at the end? Thanks and be safe out there.

Well here I sit in Seattle Wa. as far from home as I can get broken down again. This time it is the fifth wheel needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Well after 4 week2 and 4 breakdowns at 3 days off each time with associated costs I am pretty much broke.I am waiting on a call to see if arrow will stand behind truck. If they don't I will have failed pretty quickly at this endeavor. I knew I was kinda rolling the dice with out enough money in the bank after being off injured for 6 months. As far as the company goes they are pretty good you can make money here and they have treated me well I am debating whether to ask for an advance for 2500 with no guarantee of getting it or just say eff it. I'm sure there will be rather bad consequences to taking the truck back sometimes you just cut your losses. well any advice would be appreciated. Trucking has about got the best of me.

But I have to ask, you said you started out with little money. How much was that? I'm looking at having $5k as beginning capital. Hoping that's enough. -
How is the ltl work in Memphis?

Boy Howdey Thanks this.

Let me just say to those of you starting out it is unusual to have 4 breakdowns in a month on a fairly new truck but it happens. So you should be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. Roadrunner has been more helpful in the situation I am in now than any company I have worked for before. The have been in contact with me the head of maintenance called to try to help with warranty and other info, My terminal manager has been the best no questions just how can we help. remember I have only been here a month so having a management background I would have had to give serious consideration to giving a new guy 2000. So here is a shout out to Roadrunner.
KoolKid, Boy Howdey, WesternEmpire and 1 other person Thank this. -
