    Started 11/28/16 and orientation is 1 full week. Received truck friday with a couple minor issues, 90,000 for a truck should already be ready right? Qualcomm not connecting-where are their repeaters? Pretrip inspection button added to hot key because it wouldn't come up in normal operation. Apu cover damaged and they refused to fix or replace. One antenna not installed and I had to pull teeth to get that done. 1st week out only made 2700.00 so we'll see how WEL continues to do.

    Keep in mind out of that 2700 comes expenses. Truck payment, maintenance, etc. Need 1400/wk to cover expenses.

    What I'm showing is only paid "to" the truck. What goes home in your pocket is after you "pay the truck expenses".

    Only with them a week and you are already posting in the "bad company" section. This does not bode WEL for your success.

    Silly question.. Why did you sign for the truck before anything was fixed? If I'm paying $90k for anything it's going to be as perfect as possible before any contract is signed...

    This is a new venture for me and I had expected to get a couple loads before heading home to get my personals. With time constraints, I decided to choke the small issues in lieu of pay.

    THIS!

    Walk away, no, RUN away if you can. The signs were there before you even took your first load. Wish you the best.
