WoW, JB is offering 90c per mile !!!!! I need to drop this load I have on, paying $17.57 pm and run right over there. Oh along with the $17.57 it is paying .58c pm FSC.
DON'T jump at a "fleece plan" right off the bat !!!!! Get some miles under ya seat, and talk to drivers, then decide. But decide to go to a truck dealer like PacCar and see if you can lease a truck direct then put it someplace that will make $$$ not the Leasors (Fleesors). |

I have no inherent problem with lease-to-own your own truck. However, leasing from the company that has a vested interest in getting their truck back?
IF JBH would lease me the truck and let me O/O for some other carrier, it might well be worth a shot.
Don't get me wrong. I'm sure a significant percentage of fleece operators actually survive to the point where they own the truck and are free as a bird. But there's also a significant percentage who seem to be running fine - up until the last X months, when all of a sudden they can't get miles. No miles = no pay. No pay = no truck.
Why they can't get miles? No idea. But it makes me wonder.
all in all - it just comes across as a truly horrible idea from the point of view of the trucker |
