It’s a popular topic because there are a lot of horrible leases out there.

This doesn't do much good if you don't tell us the company names to avoid.

It’s not status, it’s the freedom of not being macro managed and forced dispatched, told when and if you can go home! Being a company driver sucks! Period!

I would like to know more about the benefit package of being a company driver versus a owner operator or lease Purchase.

I think I have the worst of the worst lease agreements. Imagine I worked 4,292 miles a week sometime over 5,000 miles. And I got paid $392 from over $7,000 growth. $950 truck fee, dispatch fee $1,250, insurance $500, mileage $480, fuel $2,300 and some other fees. This is my last week I'm quitting.

This would help if you would name some companies to go to Bro.😏

I think you forgot to check these lease agreements length.. Some lease agreements are 2 yrs, 5 yrs, 8 yrs..

Do one on scottlyn

Hi Ronen , Please post a video on how a fresher can start from scratch in order to become truck driver in USA and Canada ? Driving school to corporation recruitment etc.

Sacrifice and hard work for pathetic pay

What’s the name of the company on the good list and company first one you talked about?

I see one y’all trucks in Michigan last week I though that was cool.

What leasing company was the first one

I wish I knew the name to that lease that guy works for a great lp company

I will never ever lease again. Literally weeks with no pay…..never again…….

Any chance of getting the name of that company that you said the guy has a great lease agreement?

Where do Zack work at???😂 I want to apply

Excellent info.

Hey Ronen, that first settlement you red out, the deductions you read were from that one sheet you put up, which actually totaled about $1300, that also seems to be his total deductions according to you but!!!!! Where's the fuel $$$, am guessing the second sheet which you didnt show us has his accual net which is not 5k, his in the east cost with high fuel price, he sad he had bad fuel mileage, am guess deducted another $1500 from that 5k net earing making it $3500 which is not bad at $2.65 a mile but definitely not as amzing as 5k Just a note !

Ronen, is it not better to crunch the numbers before getting stuck with a bad lease or purchase?

Second drivers weeks are really strange…he is driving really bad(low mileage for lease operator) or he is really bad dispatched(no weekend loads,no trip plan)…1st driver i dont want to comment,that nort east trips are amazing 🎉

the 2nd statement from the second driver didn't have a truck payment??

its better to stay local i'm company driver in nj area i do tri state wanna go local owner operator any good places to lease or get first truck ? If possible have them deal with repairs ?

All lease agreements are bad if your company doesn’t provide you with the revenue to make you a reasonable net profit. It’s simple as that. Ex: even if the total deductions add you to $2000 each week, but the revenue was $6500 compared to $3500 weekly. Ask your company what are their average rpm and total miles per week. It’s your job to make sure you communicate with your company with the quality of lands you are running. How long this shipper been a customer and so on.

Super ego was the second driver

Being we can’t see sample statements before we sign a lease and there is so much greed out there; how are we to vet these companies without knowing their names? Or even if we want to work with these companies besides being able to look up their safety ratings and number of drivers. I want to on board with the first company. I have never seen anything that good! Who knows who they are?

good morning ronen ..i am a driver in the United States..i have been driving trucks for ten years...yes i was driving for a company that was paying 75 cents as a 1099 truck driver. That company was mgl out of Chicago. Mgl was the best company that i ever work for..i started with them in October 15,2021. Furthermore, i was switched to rt transportation in December 2022..that's when everything went down hill. Rt transportation started cutting there drivers pay..i went from making 75 cents a mile to know making 50 cents a mile. September wii be my last month working for this company.. i do have 120,000 in my savings account..do you think that i should purchase my own truck and lease on to a company?? Believe me i do not want to go to another trucking company. To me they are all the same..its only a matter of time before they start fucken you over..please do not use my government name aka my slave name...take care men...

ET transport ain’t no better

Totally disagree, being a owner operator you take on a huge responsibility than a company driver

Lease drivers don’t understand it’s about the fuel and lifestyle you are not a company driver

were not joining youre company no mater how many videos you make

Who’s the first ?

Everyone wants to be an owner operator even tho they make less money. It makes no sense do people not have a brain???

Gah such low mileage
