Take over my Swift Lease

I turned my trk in. They told me the same thing about liable wv for payment. Have not seen bill one. That was 4 months agol. Just turn it in.

 

You won't see a bill, it will be on your Credit Report, and to the OP, why would you Lease a truck with less than 1 Year experience, sounds like you got in over your head. $610 a week plus Insurance, Qcomm, Prepass and fuel, =you're minimum 1k in the hole at the start of every week.

 

It's the most common reason for lease failures. He heard the big numbers thrown around early on and didn't do enough research.

 

Nice looking rig.

 

You leased before you learned to run ... as an O/O Swift doesn't "send" you anywhere unless you're willing to go there.

A picture is worth a 1000 words ... keep your truck clean ... all those doodads are waste of money ... I cleared $51K after taxes last year and spent almost 3 months on hometime.

 

So how many miles per week must you drive just to meet the payments ? 1800 ?

 

That depends on all kinds of factors. And there are many more "payments" that must be made than just the truck rental. My guess is you would be stressed trying to do it on 1,800 miles a week, though if you got the right ones - short-haul, high pay - you might. Anyone considering a lease must have drive experience AND some business sense to make it. You'll have to deal with an accountant and lawyer. You'll have to read and understand and apply what's in a very complex contract.

Do not get all gaga about the high pay they float in front of you; they're talking about the successful lessors, not beginners, and they're talking about gross, not net income. Trucking is a tough business, even for company drivers. Add the lease/purchase aspect and it gets down right nasty. Take some business classes somewhere. Study basic accounting. Drive through four seasons all over the country as a company driver, only responsible for the getting the load to its destination on time. Then you'll have an idea of how to do the job and whether you're a good candidate to lease and start your own business.
