Those Dart and Hogan rates don't include fuel surcharge. Add another $.45-.50/mile to get an apples to apples comparison. It's not bad for an entry-level lease; especially if you're looking for the hometime. You'll make decent money but at the expense of your equipment. In other words, it's a quantity over quality deal. Still, it doesn't require much skin in the game on your part and keeps you home so you can keep an eye out for something better. You usually don't just fall into the good jobs and you have the pay the bills in the meantime.
