THATS GOOD MONEY!!!! A truck needs to make make $3.50 plus a mile!!!! Especially if you own your own Company!!!!

Things are about change now that president Trump is in office. And most companies have walk away lease options.

Perfectly comfortable remaining a company driver myself…. Why debt myself to a truck that is a depreciating asset…..

well I think FMCShit should focus in other things , The problem of the Lease purchase is todays plastic trucks , W900, Pet 379, 389 or any long hood truck does survive the 600k miles and hold the price I wish find a company Lease purchase a 2025 W900 🥳 that will be sweet the problems this garbage plastics new trucks dont last 700k miles My 1992 Pet 379 4.7k miles still pulling 80k

LP’S should be banned, but we can’t stop there, rates need to go up so O/O can survive and new truck prices need to drop. But the biggest thing government needs to stop subsidizing mega cariiers

They only going target small lease purchase companies. The carriers like Prime and other will find a work around

Nowadays there are many companies who will lease a truck with affordable monthly payments. Not ridiculous 1500 weekly.

I’m in my last year of my lease… if this passes what’s the worst case scenario for me

A corrupt government organization that takes blood money to murder and steal money from drivers has the balls to complain about other corrupt companies screwing drivers. What a complete joke!

I met 2 drivers that completed lease purchase and got the truck. 1st driver from werner after putting in over 1.2 million miles. 2nd driver not saying company name let him pay off truck early and last week company gave him bill of sale waiting on Chicago for title. But lease purchase is 100% scam.

My company driver position is also fraudulent and oppressive.

Lease purchase programs are a scam at the expense of the driver and a way for companies to get out of paying taxes. This unfair labor practice needs to be done away with expeditiously.

Lease purchase program itself is not the problem. Its the extremely cheap pay the carriers offer to the driver. If pay was good then making payments on a truck shouldn't be any issue.

Truck repairs becoming catastrophic by design using polution narrative causing drastically higher operating costs

Lease purchase are scams, from what I’ve been through.

What you are NOT mentioning, truthfully, is how much NET is the drivers take home after expenses. Are the drivers lease operators or own their own trucks? Please clarify.

All lease purchase programs for Werner Enterprises like Falcon are FRAUD. Stay away.

Majority of drivers really don’t need to be OO they need to be company drivers not everyone can succeed working for themselves period

I’m not saying this lease purchase programs are the busting in the world but you know they should concentrate on the predatory loans that these dealerships and base are given out 30 35-40% interest rates on semi trucks and how do you expect people like not to lose your truck with those kind of loans It’s like they’re doing everything they can every single time a company figures out how to make money in the industry they try to put another barrier up so you can’t get through and only want the mega carriers to be loved. That’s what it looks like to me.

98% of people never completed lease Purchase it ok to say bye bye to lease a truck from company

I’m currently in a lease purchase. I’ve done them before and yes a lot are very predatory and will cause you to go bankrupt. My first lease purchase was with CR England. They paid by the mile and after all the “expenses” I barely made more than the company driver pay with all the expenses and then the ballon payment was ridiculous.i never got to see what the rate con or had any say in refusing loads. I left before I was too far into it. Now I’m currently in a lease purchase program with the company I’m currently working with. They pay percentage of the line haul and fuel charges. 2023 I grossed $350,000 and took home $120,000 as a solo driver that’s good pay. After October my semi truck will be paid off with no ballon payment and a pay increase of $48,000 per year take home bumping my take home pay to around $168,000 per year. That’s very good income. I see all rate cons and can ask for more with absolutely no forced dispatch. So I’m curious how this might affect my situation

If it's old school leased equipment like for construction equipment 1 monthly payments like a bank loan is OK. But these crazy leased payments every week 3,000 dollars a week, it's ridiculous. The only reason to do these leases is to make more money per mile. Lease purchase driver $1.20 - 1.80 a mile. Double your money. .You make more then a company driver making .50 cents a mile as company driver. So yeah lease purchase makes more per mile. Why work for pennies a mile as company driver. Both are company drivers. What's not to understand more pay is better in your pocket. Stay for a bit and safe your money up, then leave go get your truck and trailer. Sucks that they pay is lower then 1990's when cost of living double with Mr. McGoo Biden in office. Time for trucking companies to step up to pay standards, 40hr work week, with overtime.

This time when I left home at about a week and a half. I almost made 11,000 but I struggle and had some issues so it was really and you know I use ATf dispatch service I could elaborate on my issue but I won't it's all on me not the dispatch service

Im at company that has lp program on a 2025 kw w900 going for 300k after a 5yr contract and a 25k buyout. It's ridiculous. Trucks can't be equipped with inverter for the driver bc it will void the warranty. It's a full blown scam. The thing is mhc kw has the same truck for 200k

I personally have had success with lease purchases. Hope they don’t ban it.

All governments can ever do is step aside and allow people to become productive. Or they can pass so many rules that people can't become independently prosperous.

TQL isn’t ripping anyone. Stupidity of trucking companies, specifically ignorance of drivers - is the reason why TQL is filling up own pockets. As they should. If stupid drivers refuse to work for above minimum wage - they should be taken advantage of.

how tricky is it to get an authority set up while operating as a leased on owner op? any idea how much flatbed experience required to get insured at the carrier level? i don't have flatbed exp. in class A but ideally want to be set up for flatbed with an authority. have considered running for a flatbed company while an authority ages... any thoughts? appreciate it. you would be first on our list for a dispatcher!

Sure you completely wrong. Your predictions crazy

Show some of the other loads,half dozen of no too good ones,what about the other ones??

Tech savey, is an oxymoron.

Nice work

Is this a California thing that's bleeding into the rest of the country, Colorado has cut the diesel opacity from 40 to 20 ,my old 12 valve barely passed at 19,all of this is to get rid of diesel and gas powered vehicles

Hopefully all the brokers can be replaced with AI by then...parasites..

I’m curious what the percentage is AFT gets after the drivers gross, or is it monthly? Thanks.

My question would be, are these sustainable? If someone purchase a truck and something suddenly changes in the market and now we are stuck with a truck payment, why I’m hesitating to see if these rates sustain themselves

Good for him for doing it the right way I do it the wrong way every week

What's the cut for AFT on bookin these loads?

my homie the man

It still a lot of hit and miss for me.i have one good week 2 bad consistently so the jury is still out I don't know what to think

I guess there is still hope

😊

OK SO there going enforce new policies on emissions ? Well there has been work done on this problem about 14 years ago witch has FEDREL ACREDTATION and E.p.a approval in the U.S. and complies to E.U.R.O.. 6 std on diesel engines and no Add Blue is NESSERY. The unit to achieve this is about 75 to 100 dollars per exhaust pipe and has a long life span to . If by anny chance anny person interested drop a note thanks .

You can’t drive over 3500 miles each week 2500 to 2800 is more realistic plus you have to do resets

Do you do RGN

love you bro

Freight brokers are killing trucking faster than inflation.

Anything less than $3 a mile is just wearing out your equipment

One of the best Trucking channels hands-down keep up the great information feels like I’m watching Trucking news

A $1.76 across country. Tell us how much the cost of running a truck is, please. Ive been hearing it costs $2.40 a mile just to pay costs. Just wondering.
