Lol prolly just like everyone else does. Calculate how your averaging miles per gallon,how long to your next stop, divide that by the miles. ( this works well in most circumstances) but if you driving in hill terrain,starting and stopping etc etc. We had a run from cali,to pageland sc and from pageland back to cali and ran good fuel mileage per mile. Ran both ways around 60 mph.

I will be upgrading around the first 2 weeks if January, it is going quick. But no I didn't talk myself out of lease,my trainer does very well he has trained me day one how to run as a solo lease. These last 3 weeks I been basically doing all the shipper and receiver work. I had the driving down awhile ago. His fuel strategy is really good. I have always been good at budgeting money and have management experience just got to manage myself. If I knew without a doubt I couldn't do it i wouldnt.

Your man going g to love it. It may start out alittle slow,but after psd phase, it goes quick. Due to covid class size is small,which is a good thing. Its quick.

Sorry been so long just been busy. 5k short of half way in tnt here at prime. I love it, took awhile to get used to being away from home, but I am on my second home time got alot better. More to come....

Ty ty and bless you all for your help.

Im going to go over that tonight at hotel,trainer before test going to let me practice a couple times before test. I believe I'm ok on driving portion also. So hopefully by this time tomorrow I will post that I pass.

You make alot of sense Rob. Why would they give me a crappy truck, plus anything goes wrong(not my fault)its company dime got to keep the tools you use to working order.

To the stress away from home the solitude, I can handle, unfortunately due to my younger years, I did four years incarceration. Besides waking up and not being a idiot I did learn alot of life skills that have helped me when I got out.

I can make alot of money company just buy getting the bonus prime offers and doing my work to the best of my ability. I'm not going lease. I will get good loads from getting experience, and a good relationship with my fm.

KJ I don’t think you are looking at company vs lease in the correct perspective.

What you mentioned above is known as forced dispatch. True lease operaters are not force dispatched. You can say no to a load. Do you understand what happens then? You go to the bottom of the list of trucks in that area. You may very well be sitting for several more hours and or days making nothing.

You mentioned hometime. You better check around every lease driver I have spoke with makes comments they can’t afford to go home. They also tell me they have to team or train to make any money.

Those comments are consistent no matter the company. You want to go home and make some money. Go company. Kearsey has all the numbers to show you what you need to know.

thats why alot of leases are trainers here. Makes since. But if you go company do they give you a ****ty truck to drive?
