Short answer: No.
The last company that I had even heard of that was doing 379's was John Christner Trucking in Sapulpa, OK, and the last one I knew of that did W900's was Swift.

put succinctly youre not thinking. You want to lp a bad fuel mileage dinosaur truck that will cost you 600-900 a week for the next 4 years.. and run only from tn to modesto?
CA runs are great.. getting back isnt. and with THAT truck payment you cant sit. So you head to CA monday and are back in tn 2 weeks later after running CA for a week then az etc. And no hometime because you cant afford it. The Only lp i know of with self dispatch is crst malone flatbed. They lease freightliners. Very very used ones. And if youre a dry van guy... flatbed is a different world. if you Really want this the smartest thing to do is buy a CHEAP truck.. 20k?.. and spend time broke and learning to be an o/o. After it's paid off youll be in the $$$. 1500-2500 a week after expenses is ballpark. Then you can decide if you want to put 25-50% of your income into something who's purpose is to impress other drivers.. who could give a **** and would rather have a volvo |
