Schneider O/O IC Choice - What year/make/model truck are you driving? Lease/Own?

KW 680 with a 13 spd is s good choice,,13spd gives you great flexibility for the future,,,what you haul today most likely will not be what you haul a couple years or more from now. My self I like the 18spd..great when you're 140,000 lbs.

 

Has anybody finished their lease yet?

 

By finished do you mean successfully completed their lease term, or finished as in kept leasing until they paid off the truck?

I finished my 1-year lease term last November and turned the truck back in and bought my own truck. Overall I was pretty happy with SFI's lease for my first go at it, and had the option to buy the truck outright or I could renew the lease for another 1-1.5 years. I wanted an older truck though so I decided not to keep it.

 

It was more directed to finished the full lease and own the truck. I'm in that same boat though wanting a older, pre egr truck. But I'll still take one of those t680s any day.

So from your experience with the lease would you say you would do it all over again?

 

I'm starting with SNI choice this Monday, FINNALY! I've been really pumped I went with a 680, put 5k down and a 3 yr term. I figured I'd rather be in a truck I actually love rather than drive something I don't

 

What's the buyout figure at the end of 3 years?

 

Is that the normal down for the 680? And ya same feeling, if your gona do it do it in something you want. How do you feel about doing a 3 year?

 

Just make sure that ya'll are really up for that three year lease, because it's NOT a walk-away lease, and lots can happen and change with the industry, company, and personal lives in three years.

 

Mine is $59,000
