    I will be seeing my first settlement Monday for 3 days after orientation. The 3600 was Wednesday after orientation to Wednesday before thanks giving they go friday midnight to Friday midnight on what you get dispatched on. And that was a flatbed. After this holiday will get to see some full checks my first two weeks are orientation then turkey day.... so ya. I will share what I made just keep that in mind. Monday will be my first settlement from orientation week on the 12th and only what I got before Friday night. And to soon to see if fsc is covering fuel 100%

    If the truck is averaging 6mpg then fuel costs you about $0.50/mi with taxes, and about $0.40/mi excluding taxes.

    $3.20gal / 6mpg ~ $0.50 per mile
    $2.50gal / 6mpg ~ $0.40 per mile

    I figure wfx has a fuel discounts.

    So $1.55 per mile? There are better rates for l/p drivers pulling flatbed. But, if you're happy with the company and the rate is survivable then I wish you luck.

    For a lease purchase there’s better? Those must be well hidden.

    Not hidden. Myself and many others have posted our rates in the past. I'm not trying to knock the guy. There are many reasons to choose a company.

    I understand we’re he is coming from but their is a fuel discount and am told it is very good! My fav is on all my miles loaded and mty and the truck is avg right in the 6mpg range but only have 4K on the motor so it’s not even brokein at all. Rates are important for making it but Iam paid my rate on all miles and theirs a lot to be said for a company and how it treated. Also keep this in mind I don’t have to set back maintenance out of my rates ALL maintenance and repairs are paid out of my .12cpm and have a bumper to bumper warranty including all maintenance for the duration of my lease and will get a .01 bump in my rate every 6 months.
