LEASE vs NO LEASE

Being a lease driver is a lot like being a migrant farm worker.

You get crummy pay and you can't quit without paying your own way home.

Seriously though. Be a company driver,get paid for the miles you run and not have to worry about getting a paycheck that goes toward feul and maintenance before you get any money.

The payment for the truck is fixed. When you have a low mileage week CRE will still take their payments from you, they don't care if eat.

Simply go through this forum and look at all the complaints in regards to being a lease operator and the number of guys getting burned. Don't be one of them.

 

I will give you a very simple story of what most lease driver's are : Farmer brown has 1000 acres of land with a doublewide trailer on it ,he agrees to lease you the land, let you live in the trailer, & put up all the money for seeds,ect. if you give him half the money from the crop after expenses. You agree, well you plant crop and everything is going good till about 1 week before harvest ,a big storm comes in and washes out half the crop! well after you salvage what is left you only have enough to pay farmer brown the money he put up for expenses! So now you are broke and out on the street! This my friends is what a lease purchase is:::SHARECROPPING!!!!!!!

 

dont lease ever from anyone.

and please driver dont go to CRE unless its your only choice ie every other company that offers training has told you hell no you wont go! and even than it may be more worth your while to get your own cdl schooling done even if it takes you coniving people to help you get there

there the first ones to ACCEPT you right and you really want to get your cdl but it WILL be a costly mistake that could ruin your career before it even starts. if you leave them than before the term is paid you owe them for the training and they may tag your DAC with negative remarks which can make it harder to get another job.

and by not going there you help the industry out in many ways 1 if enough people stop going to CRE than they will either get better or close down (hope for the latter) 2 less bad drivers out there that give trucking a BAD name.

 

?? swift isnt lease only cant say for sure about maverick but pretty sure there not lease only as well
who told you that info anyways CRE lol

 

Every single student I had with CRE (back when I used to work there for 4.5 years) failed the lease. Every student I had who went company eventually found better paying jobs at a better company, simple enough.

 

Actually Swift has no openings for students to become lease operators. After completing school and training you must become a company driver - no option, no opportunity, no offer of leasing is available.

You are not even eligible to lease at Swift until you have been a company driver for 6 months, if you have no previous experience.

 

Because working for CR England is a persistent hostage negotiation. They control your time and money, you control their truck and fuel.

You see this negotiation isn't so bad, their truck and fuel is worth more than your time and money so i dare say a company Driver has an edge.

When you lease you hold the liability of the truck and fuel too, so England still has your time and money hostage, and now you don't have any leverage in the negotiations. Sure you can decline a load, and they will just punish your time and money by not giving anything good or sometimes anything at all.

Leasing is a fools move, akin to believing that after taking hostages that the police really are gonna give you that plane to Argentina for the getaway.
