My company would pay me .58cpm as a company driver.
I ran 2232 miles last week.
As a company driver my check would have been $1295.
As a lease driver I made $2370.01.
Exact same work $1075 more because I lease.
I stayed on the road from January 1st till January 27th.
As a company driver I would have been entitled to 4 days off.
As a lease driver I took off 11 days.

Just this month finishing up a 4 year lease with Swift and picking up a new 2016 the 1st of April. Did it have its ups and downs, yes, but for the most part, all ups. Truck broke down once for 3 weeks, under warranty, and did I sit, no, they gave me a loaner truck for just a few cents per mile. Due to all of this DPF and DEF junk been broke down other times. Swift was behind me all the way. Even many times deferred a payment or 2 so not in the hole and many times they have fought for me as far as repairs when they felt that I was being charged too much. Say what you want about Swift, but if I breakdown, they take care of me. Not like a bank that says, Sorry that you are broke down, where is our payment. Oh and just finished up a load, 2300 miles, profit to the truck after all expenses, $.65/mi.

Why would you lease? To end up with a truck, no payment and a title.
EZX1100 Thanks this. -
Actually, I'll say this, before I leave. With the amount of companies out there that will lease you a truck to put with any carrier for a small down payment, why would you do a fleece deal? You can get a brand new 780 from lone mountain for $8,000 or so down if you lease it to a company like Landstar. I just don't get it.scottied67 Thanks this. -
