Saw an ad for them for a Lease Op with 3k-3.5k a week. I just laughed. I make that being a company driver hauling crude in North Dakota. Plus I get free housing. My brother grossed 144k last year only working 11 mos.
I've been with them over 4 years I paid off my first truck and now working on my second. You have to manage your expenses like fuel, food, etc get your own fuel card to get better discounts and cheaper fuel, meal prep when you are home to save on fuel. Don't turn down loads run them there maybe a plan behind the load you don't want that will get you good miles. My experience with them has been a great one and I have been successful
Bro Ive been here going on four years I have 7k left on my lease. Dont decline loads. They want to see how you are with ontime delivery and pu. Once you earn the trust and they see you will run anywhere the miles are there. You already understand that your not an owner opp your just a company driver with bills. Run hard pay the truck off and move on.. Also $ave, $ave,$ave because the truck will need an over haul once your done.
Sounds pretty much like Truckin is trucking no matter where your trucking is trucking. Yeah I think different is the details but the grass is the grass is the grass is the grass different shades of green pros and cons everywhere you look one thing I like about Chicago is I don’t have to deal with any mountains. The flipside is I got a deal with the winter time but it don’t snow every day in the winter.
The pay can only get better and it’s consistent pay. Not $1600 this week and $500 next week followed by $1100, than $900. I’ve worked at companies like this.
Can you do a video on lease op? Like how running a business works, breakdowns on different pays & maintenance. I think it’ll be good for new drivers looking into lease
You can't treat lease purchase with emotions. Trucking at every angle is about generating revenue. Success will come from running everything dispatch gives you when paid by miles.
I love the Cali loads... Get a team mate. The economy is slow af but take whatever loads are available and watch the $$$ pile up. Get those CA produce loads going to Salem VA or NJ and run about 700 mi a shift , then put your teammate at the wheel. If you wanna be a millionaire you gotta work millionaire hrs.
I think Chicago is where it’s at. I won’t sit here and talk like I know everything and been everywhere but there is a lot of freight that goes in and out of Chicago and it doesn’t take much to make some damn good money if you’re willing to work Chicago regional.
Absolutely. Agree 100%. Getting thru Oakland/San Jose LA San Diego Sanfran aint Memphis or Miami. Then their laws? You can have Cali...it's my fault too. Boo-hoo me 365, absolutely no Cali.
Doing a lease you can build a solid business foundation, age on llc, Dunn's number, a lot of business trade lines, many fuel cards, store credit etc, while making decent pay without the risk of actually owning a truck, so when you decide to go home for good you have options of going company or buying your own semi,box truck, cargo van without huge down payment or no down payment and plenty of credit to start your own venture, that's what lease purchase is design to do, but 95 percent of truckers don't think like that
That is my goal but a lot of people keep saying I don’t know what I’m doing and I should leave, the company WFX they would never work for them for the pay that I make the list goes on. Thank you for telling it the way I’ve been trying to tell people who try to tell me how to run my business.
@@Farrell0208 Well we are specifically talking about WFX, I haven’t had the privilege to work at every company and there’s plenty of companies that aren’t like that. It’s unfortunate that you have experienced such hardship in your life that you think EVERY company is like that…maybe you should go back to the rock YOU live under
I stay running constantly I make on average $1600 with 2700 miles. I will have a few videos coming out by Sunday! The videos consist of pay / settlements, how is wfx going, my weekly and monthly miles.
I was out in California when I was a rookie going from Rialto California up to Billings, Montana and back as a trainee. I was surprised at how dirty it is out there but at the same time everything is so expensive a cheap ghetto Motel it’s like $200 a night I just about lost my mind when I tried to take a piss at a laundromat and you had to put a quarter in the fucking door knob for the door to open.
So if you’re not going to make the money or you’re only going to make the same amount of money that a company driver is why not just be a company driver? Personally, I am making an average of $.73 a mile at 3500 miles a week and I’m clapping cheeks on the weekend… I’m trying to figure out what the benefits of being a lease purchase driver is?
The only benefit of a lease is you decide what you want to do. You have more say than a company driver that most of the time is forced into doing a load. You make .73 cpm congratulations you work for a company that pays you for your experience in my situation Im working at what works for me at this time.
@@trucker_rob I like that freedom. I don’t have a ton of experience, and have been only driving for 2 1/2 years. I’d always heard that there was more money in LP, however I think it’s really about the same. I’m just going to keep my head down and stay safe, and try to work my way up to the specialty loads.
So I can build my business credit and go buy my own trucks. I don’t plan on making this my forever job. So while I work for the company I work for myself building businesses credit which makes it easier to buy a truck after a year of having an open account with a solid paycheck.
1300-1400 nothing, averaged 2500 at prime Inc. I heard some people making that at prime. I guess it boils down to you and your FM. 1300-1400 ridiculous for what we do. All responsibilities that we have out here.
Life with Lu they’re on the yard every week no problem getting one. However if you want one brand new that is the challenge because they won’t tell you over the phone or in orientation until you go talk to Lauren about what your looking for. They have Pete 579 in a few auto and 90% manual. They have kenworth t680 a few in auto and 90% manual. Pete 389 all manuals Rare but when they are available kenworth w900l they’re all manuals as well. Hope that helps. Edit… I forgot about the freighliners those are all autos as well.
No gross pay a week. If I drove 2500 miles at a $1.50 a mile That’s $3,750 gross pay. Subtract fuel $1,100 that’s $2,650. Now truck payment and fixed cost that’s the $308 and .30cpm for 2,500 miles is $1058 subtract that from pay you take home $1,592.
I try to help as mush as possible with what I know about a company. So if it’s something that isn’t out there and you should know I will talk about it. Thank you I don’t really pay much attention to the negative comments now.

@@trucker_rob I think I will pass up that orientation, I haven’t seen any good reviews online, Lease drivers are saying they are being force and if they don’t they are making them sit or canceling their contracts. Couple of drivers I spoke to at truck stops . So I won’t waste my time

67 on pedal and 70 on cruise.
What's the average take home pay?
@@bigjustintx everyone is going to be different but my average take home pay is around $1400 a week with 2000 miles.
Can you do a video on lease op? Like how running a business works, breakdowns on different pays & maintenance. I think it’ll be good for new drivers looking into lease
I can do my best to make a video of that, Not sure it will come out perfect but I’ll try.
You can't treat lease purchase with emotions. Trucking at every angle is about generating revenue. Success will come from running everything dispatch gives you when paid by miles.
Rookies run everything dispatched. Someone with years of experience and clean record shouldn’t have to do bullshit loads to make decent money.

How many miles per week you getting?
In the first place you shouldn’t lease is scam
I think Chicago is where it’s at. I won’t sit here and talk like I know everything and been everywhere but there is a lot of freight that goes in and out of Chicago and it doesn’t take much to make some damn good money if you’re willing to work Chicago regional.
So you're declining work in california and that's your fault.
Absolutely. Agree 100%.

I don’t think. You can make good money. Not getting 70 percent. 138 a mile plus fsc is not going to work. But that just me.
Their whole mindset is for you to just shut up and not complain, just drive and get the loads delivered
Yeah I noticed that awhile ago
Thats literally every company what rock have you been living under?
@@Farrell0208 Well we are specifically talking about WFX, I haven’t had the privilege to work at every company and there’s plenty of companies that aren’t like that.

I would never work for the company 😂 You made a huge mistake 😂 You don’t know what you’re talking about 😂 You don’t run hard 😂
How many miles do you get a week, and long are you out and what do you net after all your stuff comes out? Thinking about making the switch

Yoo broo on their drug screening, do they do hair follicle test? Or urine?
Urinalysis
How about get off the dope
Is one of their big accounts UNFI by chance?
I’m not sure 🤔
You cant negotiate company contract loads that what really sucks
I agree.
True story good place but it needs work
My question is why exactly did you enter into the fleese purchase scam. You will never own your truck
So I can build my business credit and go buy my own trucks. I don’t plan on making this my forever job. So while I work for the company I work for myself building businesses credit which makes it easier to buy a truck after a year of having an open account with a solid paycheck.
@jeffsutton950 says who? I've personally seen driver's sign the title for their trucks. Maybe some other lease purchase programs do that not WFX
The truck don’t make two dollars a mile I would move the freight
You worth more then $1300 $1400. A week.
1300-1400 nothing, averaged 2500 at prime Inc. I heard some people making that at prime. I guess it boils down to you and your FM. 1300-1400 ridiculous for what we do. All responsibilities that we have out here.

Yes sir if you listen to everything everyone says you’d get nowhere lol 😂 afraid to live life.
