211886 发表于 2020-04-07 02:45:47 Lastly, when you take your truck and lease it to a company, you will run under their authority. You won't need your own.\nKeep accurate records, in other words keep receipts and credit card statements together sorted by month and year.\nTake the time to learn how IFTA works.\nLearn how to do maintenance repairs on your truck.\nFind a decent local mechanic near home.\nBuy your parts online.\n(I own a 2005 Peterbilt 379, I buy 1 out of 100 parts from peterbilt, everything else is aftermarket online.)\nCompare prices and keep organized lists for everything (sort by type of business then alphabetical.\nPhone book people figured it's the best way to do it, so we know it works)\nAnd don't buy stuff at \"truck stops\"\nI do my PMs myself, takes 1 hour. Buy filter and oil at Tractor Supply. Grease at Autozone.

{"replyTo":"","text":"jrv looks really good and now I'm looking into becoming o/o too. How much have you averaged with them? What are the steps to buying a truck and leasing onto jrv? Just go to truck paper, find one and buy? Is freight terrible for all divisions rn and should I just wait for it to kick back up before I start?","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"You sure that ain't 600$ a week?\nCause 600$ a month is gonna be on ratty piece of junk.\nThat's less than 30k for the truck.\nSo no, you ain't seeing peopl paying 600$ a month, unless it's in a 3rd would country.\nNow 600 a week/2400 a month.. Yea, those guys are getting ripped off.\n150k for a freightliner is a joke. Especially since you could get a Pete or KW for about the same price.","replyToPid":0}
