TransAm: It isn't THAT bad

depending on the lease and how long they were in the truck
you could get the truck for the same money as your bonus for completion of your lease
A person signing a 5 year lease would get a 25000 lease completion bonus and pay for the truck
other then that transam will finance the buy out which will be about 1/3 of the cost of leasing

 

Good post in regards to Transam. Thanks for starting it.

 

What are the Transam trucks governed at?

 

62 company trucks
65 lease trucks

some older trucks are at 68 and 72 if the same driver still is in it
mine is at 68

 

Thanks Transam Pete.

42

 

Don't know what the other "megacarriers" are like but, the one thing that drove me up the wall at TA, was the very high level of micromanagement. Also the having to get a PO# for reimbursement of money you've paid out, all the way down and including faxes that they required.

 

they would rather hire 3 more office people then give drivers a raise for sure

 

Not sure about that Pete. They were sure going thru the office personal when I was there. Wish I could remember the name of the guy that gave all the safety classes when I was there. He was pretty cool and always willing to help out. Kust about the only person there I liked.

 

was it Curtis. He is gone Chris M. from leasing took his place
it is a revoving door but they seem to add people none the less

 

Is Lee B. still a dispatcher in Rockwall??
