    Lmao! Planning? It's not up to you..Sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing because you don't understand how load planning works..TA will plan your miles or not plan them.

    if I were you, I would plan for 750 miles more than your break even point. (Maybe)

    Do you know what your break even point is, including fuel? If not, ask someone (not a driver) at TA. Make sure they include all the little accounts that nibble away at your cpm.

    Good luck, there aren't many leasing programs available that allow much more than paying for the truck. Most companies want you to fail so they can keep your money and get someone else in that seat starting the entire process over again.

    i haven't heard anything good about TA other than nice equipment.
