Others out there are similar, I personally chose Knight because it met what I was looking for I was also a company driver for years so I know their lanes the rest are Low payments, decent time at paying off the truck and the warranty they offer covers pretty much anything internal (Had the motor rebuilt due to oil consumption ended up not costing me a dime) everyone's choice here is going to be different this is where you the driver will have to research and find what fits you and what your end goals are for the whole thing.
Edit,
Had this added in but for some reason it did not save.
Fixed cost are going to be different depending on where you sign on but you can email the ones your looking into to find out what there fixed costs are going to be, aka truck payment, insurance, plates and maintenance. As for what truck to go with, I agree with the person that posted in one of you're other posts. It's a million dollar question and pretty much you can just roll a pair of dice on that one sometimes you get a awesome truck sometimes you get a lemon.Last edited: Apr 21, 2015

Run your numbers if you have a mortgage that is a fixed costs if you have a car payment that is a fixed cost. If you have student loans that is a fixed cost. People need to add to their costs the bills and rent or mortgage they already pay. Then add in the fixed and rolling costs. And what it cost per mile to pay all the bills. And then you will know what you're break even amout will be. And break even is just paying all the costs, and nothing to you. My numbers are 1.20 is break even. So i would need to run at a rate of 2.40 per mile min to cover dead head and bob tailing. So don't get sucked into a lease where your paid .90 cpm otherwise your running in the red.

So I'm curious, are Schneider L/O's allowed to do two consecutive 1 year leases?

And they are on he choice program, getting their "choice" of cheap freight.
Why is it so hard to put aside money for 5 years and buy a cheap truck for under $50,000? If you cant afford to do that there is no way you are going to make it on a lease.
Every single lease purchase I see, the driver makes the bosses truck payment for him, more is riding in the driver as far as responsibility, the driver makes not much more and usually less than a company driver at the same outfit would.Last edited: Apr 21, 2015
HalpinUout Thanks this. -
Now to answer the OP's question, Yes as far as I know you can lease 1 year over and over, Same truck if you like or change out I believe tho this question maybe better asked over in the SNI forums as they work for them and would know.
