Info on Try Hours

[JBird]

I would like to know if anyone has any info, good or bad on Try Hours out of Maumee, OH? I was interested in their "lease purchase" program. Can they keep you busy as a solo driver? I would appreciate any info on them. Thank you!

Ive seen whitewolf53 comment on this carrier. See if you can get some info from him. Also look at a thread of mine from a few weeks ago and that may help with some info on this company.

Thanks, I'll try and find the info.

Does anyone know of their service areas? How long is the lease and does the truck ever belong to you? I'm just trying to get some info. from anyone who has driven for them or know of them. Thanks!

Every lease purchase plan I've been involved in, or have seen advertised, are the biggest rip offs in the industry. Please be very aware of what you're getting into.

Thanks for the info. I decided to go against going with them anyway. Have you seen their trucks? Their sleepers are way too small!
I would still rather go with Landstar! Once again, thanks.

LOL, I understand that! Like, I said I just wasn't happy with the trucks and would just rather go w/ a different company.

I worked for Try Hours about 10 years ago. They were fine. The reason they were fine though, was in large part due to Chris & John. They have since went to PTL. You may want to consider PTL out of the Toledo, Ohio area.

Good luck to ya,
Danny

Thanks Danny, I'm in talks w/ Landstar at the moment. I'm hoping everything goes well with them and I get qualified! Things are looking promising as I should know something within a couple days!
