You can charge those number that are in their templet to what ever you want them to be. I changed the 6000 mile to 3500 that I usually run and plugged numbers from there.

The best lease purchase available is the easiest too.....Lease a savings account book from your bank and when you have used it enough to buy a truck return it to the bank and drive off in your truck !
I have bought a truck before by just saving 20 to 50 bucks a week .
It is not instant gratification like signing up to be raped by a company but it feels allot better when you do pull the trigger.
If you are going to be driving for 30 years or more then you have time to save and get to the real gravy in trucking .
You don't need to put yourself in a worse situation then you have by driving for these outfits by paying their over inflated payments just to feel like you have more of than you really do.
The thing to remember in trucking is that no one is kissing you because they love you.
They are kissing you because they are going to put it to you .
Good luck in what ever you do in trucking but always try to what best not what is easiest .SheepDog, Pound Puppy and popcorn169 Thank this. -
But.... but Marmonman, they said I would be an Owner Operator and make my own choices! I could make $2,000 more than I did last year! I have one year driving, you dont know what youre talking about!
