Tripac apu, espar bunk heat, cummins isx15 450HP , 13 speed with 3.25 gearing. 22.5 low pro tires, didnt look at brand but the shop just put all new steers and drives on truck and trailer as well ... Not sure wheelbase of truck .. Has 390k on the odometer... Seems very well taken care of , even inside is not beaten up which is usually a good sign. I was just about to order rigdig on it and check what all it has had done to it

Exactly oh but don't call it spam.
Guess he expects everyone to do it cause they do.
She definitely didn't deserve that.

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 lol

Congratulations! The only problem I see you having is the third pedal and that thing sticking out of the floor between the seats. You remember what they are for ? Lol
