Hello Everyone,
I have an interview with a company called RAM Messenger on Monday.
Company is looking for someone to lease their trucks. I was hoping if
some of you can give me pointers as to what kind of questions should I
ask them. Also clarify some of the questions I have.

1. How much is the average lease for straight Trucks?
2. If lease a truck from a company than am I stuck with that company
till my lease is over.
3. Since I am an owner/operator of the truck am I entitled to refuse
the loads?
4. In order to make decent money how much miles should I do per day?

Thanks
Sarosh

Ask them all those questions but regardless of their answers, the only
enforceable answers are in the lease itself. They'll likely give you answers
that they think you want to hear in order to suck you into signing on. BUT the
ONLY conditions they (and you) have to legally live up to are what's in the
lease agreement. Read it over several times (if you're new to this game, better
get yourself a lawyer to read ith who's familiar with trucking)..... also have
friends who know this game read it for pitfalls.
I say again, the only things they have to live up to are what's actually
WRITTEN in the lease. You have to right to delete parts you don't like & if
they also sign off on them you're cool. If they won't agree to parts you don't
like, find someone else to lease with. Once you sign on the dotted lign, it's
irrelevant what they said during your chat with them..... they (and you) only
have to do what's on that signed lease. There are certain conditions that are
governed by law or regulation but most of the terms will likely be favorable to
them, not you.

You're never gonna believe this sir but...
When you ship it late
It'll still be late when I get it there...

Thanks Dave
I am new to the game matter of fact, I am just starting. SO the
advise you just gave me is really appreciated.

Thanks

I still think you would be better off sticking to IT or whatever it is that
you do, but if you are hell bent for getting a truck, I guess I'll wish you
the best of luck.

You're gonna need it.

One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give to you as a long time
veteran trucker is not to wear a turban!

I hope people notice the corp.supernews.com above and know what it means.

BTW I'm will not always call you an Imposter. Since you want the name so
bad, I guess I can just call you the Supernews Rocky.
