    It helps out greatly when the address you are given for a load is the same as the one you are loading at .

    I was given Mohawk carpet in dalton GA.
    My load was at Mohawk carpet in calhoun GA.
    I'd like 20 more loaded miles added to this load thank you.
    Luckily this and my next are drops.

    Well I delivered the load Monday night and made it home just after midnight. Booked a load out for Wednesday but it rescheduled for Thursday. So I had to book several other loads just to make a so so week. Wife came home Tuesday from work and I said Happy Anniversary and now I have to go to pick up a load. Today she said that we are taking the kids on a week end trip next weekend so I guess that is what we are doing as a anniversary get a way.

    We can't really make the plans, we just are informed we are involved in them

    To all the haters wondering what equity's lease program is and want to do the math of how much of a failure you will be if you come here.

    All their trucks are gliders with the Detroit 60 with 10 or 13 transmissions.
    262.40 truck payment each week plates, ifta, and insurance are $25/40/65.
    So, your costs are already lower than most and the odds are in your favor from the start.
    Fuel discounts at loves are 25/40cpg off pump price.
    Your maintenance cost is a set .15cpm (paid miles) and that is a bumper to bumper warranty.
    Yes, that means if your engine goes in three weeks, they put you in a loaner truck, free of charge and rebuild yours or replace it.
    Now, the lease is usually 3 to 4 years, but you can pay it off early without penalty.
    The pay starts at .90cpm all miles and fsc on loaded miles.
    Once you pay off the truck you move to $1.16 all miles plus fsc loaded and you pay your own maintenance. So that means you'll have 3 to 4 years or sooner to get your truck pristine bumper to bumper at a fixed rate of .15cpm.
    Now , if the incentives are better at a dealer I want to know. I guarantee you will make more money and spend less on repairs doing a lease like equity's vs buying a new truck from a dealer.

    Sounds like a decent lease. Wish the lady that you told me to get in touch with would have called me back. I must not live in required area.

    Driver apps are done online. And they have been cleaning house all over. It's possible you live out of area, but also that the voice messages fell of deaf ears on the way out the door.

    Classic, classic XL and Columbia.
    Depends what's available as to choose from.
    Pay is by the program they use for mileage . When I put my addresses into gps, the miles I travel are near identical to what they pay 90% of the time.
    We use people net elogging.
     
    RERM Thanks this.

    Hey Wicked...

    Would you do this one again now that you have 18 months behind you? What would you do different?
