Well fellers here she is....
2016 pete 386
Ive signed onto DSV transport out of missoula, montana. Going thru their lease program. Good sized company about 300 drivers. Only owner operators and lease operator , no company drivers.... I never wouldve thought i would go thru a lease program, ive been saving up to buy my own truck but the terms of the lease seem pretty reasonable, and i will use the money i been saving to help out with maintenance on this truck....
I get paid 75% of gross
Company takes 25% off top.
Truck payment is not a fixed payment.
I pay all the expenses including paying myself (30% of the 75% cut), whatever is left over at the end of the month after all expenses is what the truck payment is. No balloon payment at the end of the lease.
Supposedly they have given the title to 30-40 drivers this year and over 60 last year.
Company has in house dispatchers, and agents and brokers scattered all over the country for me to use as well as i can pick loads off any load board.
Company runs stepdecks and flats. Me im getting a flatbed.
It seems like reasonable and fair terms for a lease. Especially comparing to other companies programs . definatly going to be a bit of a learning curve at first. Have to get out of the mindset of a company driver.
Im definatly stressed and nervous, but at the same time ready to get going and make some money.. Orientation supposed to last 2 more days then im out on the road.....
Wish me luck, i will need every bit i can get lolRidgeRunner731, InTooDeep, dwells40 and 15 others Thank this. -
The "craziest" thing I have heard and seen... that came in a can...
Back in the summer of 1987 in Rio, thousands of cans came ashore on the beaches... and they were full of....
pot... yes... A total of 22 tons of marijuana in cans were found on Rio beaches.... It was a summer to remember in Rio...
That was known as "The Can Summer".. and became history... became songs, t-shirts, etc, etc...
And I heard that was BEST QUALITY marijuana... sold all over Rio and other states for a loooong time...dwells40, thelushlarry, FlaSwampRat and 4 others Thank this. -

My bad...
I find spam really disgusting... not the bread...
Now that I went back and saw the picture closely, found it interesting... really bread in a can....
And yeah.. folks make fun of what I eat sometimes.. and I just ignore... don't even waste time with that...
Hope you accept my apologies.. and I'm glad you didn't get mad at me... I make mistakes sometimes...FlaSwampRat, WesternPlains, lovesthedrive and 6 others Thank this.
