swift and the lease purchase

Averaging 2600 miles and $820 a week in my pocket, after alloting $.10 a mile to my maintenance account ... As far as advice, what's your business background?

 

Your greatest expense is going to be fuel. There is far more to it than run, run, run. You have to run smart. Some folks get a lease truck because it goes faster than a company truck. With the gearing and hardware pairings in Swift trucks, they generally do fairly well on fuel as long as your foot isn't constantly on the floor.

Week before last was a little over 3200 miles, $1,600 after everything except taxes. Last week, very close to 3K miles, $1,100. I don't consider it a "good" week unless I pull at least 3K miles and average at least 7mpg. I would rather run shorter miles with higher mpg than the other way around.

 

so you leasing and making that? Couldnt you do that as a company driver?

 

Bingo,

we have a winner !!!!!

 

I see you're trolling another thread - as usual adding nothing of any use to the discussion.

Lets see... the line "Trucker? No Answer" pretty much says it all.

 

I've learned well, Master !!

And why does that bother you, it IS true.

You Can make that money as a company driver, without the hassles of leases !!
