I’m still happy with Dart and my lease. Almost all my loads are live load or unload. Maybe 1 drop and hook every week or every other week. My worst week I’ve had this quarter was the week of Christmas. I did 2 runs and made 50 bucks but still paid for the truck. Wasn’t great but eh. With 3 days a week I’m making about 400-500. 5 days a week I’m bringing anywhere from 1200-1600. All I do is intermodal on their mainstream account in Memphis and I’m home daily. I’m sure a lot of guys will say I could make that as a company guy and they’re right, but I get the freedom to take whatever days I want off, and I’m 2 years I’ll own a truck and make a bit more money after. Over all I’m happy here. Highway sales has been good to me when the truck has given me issues and I needed repairs. My dispatch is chill, safety doesn’t get onto me. I think the thing with being a lease op that most guys don’t realize is you can’t be in much debt or someone who wants lots of toys. You gotta save save save cus you never know what tomorrow will bring.
I live in Southwest part of the Country ? can you stay out OTR for 3 to 8 weeks at a time ? do they have a tanker or flat bed division ? do they go into Canada ? Winter time, I'd primarily won't to run in the Southern part of the Country ?
Very good. Check to make sure they can keep you running, is it hand load or no touch freight.how often do you get pai, how much is buy out, is it a walk away, does it go on your credit if you turn back in the truck? Lots of questions you need to ask
Can you lease a brand new truck with dart? I’m actually starting school with them this month and they said I can still get in the lease program after 6 months
Who you working for bringing that a week,I wait on loads more than I haul them here.i got a junk truck I did not want but all Lancaster had left due to recruiting taking so long to verify me while in orientation
What area do they have you running in? How many miles a week are you averaging? What kind of truck are you in? If it isn’t working for you have you tried getting a different truck?
@@RoadScholartrucking not where I wanted to run,but all over,hiway says said I have to keep this truck 6 months before I can swap from this pos kw to a cascadia.ill average about 1800 miles this week

What about a lease program that pays 80%percent of load, is that good?
Very good. Check to make sure they can keep you running, is it hand load or no touch freight.how often do you get pai, how much is buy out, is it a walk away, does it go on your credit if you turn back in the truck? Lots of questions you need to ask

No touch
Can you lease a brand new truck with dart? I’m actually starting school with them this month and they said I can still get in the lease program after 6 months
Yes. If they have any available. Last year they got in a lot of New Peterbilts. But that’s a 5 year lease.

I signed with dart on a lease purchase and I’m basically burning money right now
