I know a lot guys that make a lot more that 31 K as a company driver, with no liability.

Which is why I opted to stay company side at Stevens. Ask them no more questions, they'll still tell you more lies.

Nope. Can go without that. Forget it. One of, if not, the main reason I don't vote.

These poor l/p guys are doing the best they can I'm sure....
Everyone has to learn unfortunately we can't give these guys good advice on this we don't have the right bait (money goggles) so I don't feel too bad about hearing these sob stories about how they got burned

Well @pattyj some people can't lie straight even if they had a road map, GPS, a ruler, and the complete series of "Lying Made Easy for Dummies." We just have to accept that.

Does this include the hundreds of recruiters trying to fill seats so companies can get their loads delivered as promised by the salesman working to keep the loads coming in? It's always about the load. Lies, Steal, Cheat the driver for the sake of the load. When will they learn it is about the guy who who delivers what they promise.

That's right @DustyRoad. In the words of AC/DC "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" . They assign the deeds, we do them for dirt cheap rates.

nice additude. the simple truth is, most people who do the fleece purchase deal have lousy credit and couldn't buy a box of crackers with their credit score and are perfect for these companies. to answer your question, if you have a cdl and have kept your nose clean, you have a marketable skill and are in demand. you can, and will be rewarded if you are willing to work hard, be careful, and not be one of those morons who companies can't wait to fire. again, the attitude. when I decided to buy my first tractor I saved like crazy and worked hard. we did without some things but surely didn't starve. I bought a used freightliner that was in good shape and kept up on the maintenance. it made the same money as a new peterbilt with all the gizmos. you asked if giving the bank the money instead of a company made the wear and tear go away. I owned the truck outright in 18 months. I spent some of the profits on things like an engine major, trans rebuild, and re ratio of the differentials. I kept up on making sure little things didn't turn into big things. I made decent money and didn't pay a stupid amount to a company to do so. I sold equipment to buy newer and better and the last tractor I owned was I think pretty nice. it did a good job for me. when a guy on a fork lift crushed me into a wall and broke my neck and paralyzed me for almost a year, I sold the truck and we lived a decent life until I was able to return to work 18 months later. at my age, i'm not about to go back into debt, but have a job most any of you would practically kill to get. one thing I want to stress. I believe you guys can do the same or better. I think if you do what's right, you can own your own if that's what you want and not pay a ridiculous price for the thing and not be a slave to a company that hopes you fail so they can clean up the truck you worked hard for, and resell it to someone else. that's what many do. do some guys pay off their lease? yep. but at what price and how long and for every one who succeeds, how many fail? gotta go. this has been long enough as it is. remember I said I think you can. I believe that. i'm not some guru, but rather a guy who does the same job you do and I know you can do anything I can do. best of luck and be safe out there.
