    Well its official I'm moving over. I got approved a month ago to come over by SNI and SFI, but have been on the fence. After the fiascoes of the last few weeks with my current company and watching my savings go the other direction it's time to make a move and cut my loss's. :biggrin_25512:

    I was originally going to go with a KW680 but I really don't want to knock savings down 5k more then already has been done. So I'm waiting on a email back with what they have in stock. I also only want to do a 1year sign as I want to make sure I'm solid here before throwing my own money down on a truck.

    I want send a thanks out to all that have helped me and answered my questions. Your advice and input has helped me alot. :biggrin_25514:

    Thanks Again.

    Good luck and have fun

    What kinda truck can you get with zero down for a one-two year lease? Probably just a Freightshaker but with a warranty still I hope.

    Did you study their load board before accepting going there? What kinda rates do they got in the Mid-West?
    Oh how I'd love just to stay in the midwest and never see the Northeast again... lol.
     
    Fajo Thanks this.

    FL is the zero down truck, checking new and used. looking to see if the have a nice speced used fl. I also like a older truck vs a newer one as its broke in and most the bugs are worked out but we will see. As for rates i did check (Sadwar was nice enough to help me check this) and this is also not my first rodeo when it comes to running my own truck. Drove for a number of years in Alaska before moving down here to please my wife.:biggrin_25514:

    As for rates ill wonder where the money is and where the trends take me mainly trying to stay near home as I go. Also I hate the North East, there is a reason fright is higher paying up there and you guys can have it.. Ill carve my little area out here in this side of the states you can have that jumbo mess over there. :biggrin_25523:

    3rd option for me would just be to Pay off my current truck (2011 International) and bring it over tho I don't much care for the electrical issues this thing has so not to much of a option there.

    I would like to know what trucks are available too. I'm considering coming over for the Choice program, and as much as I would like a new Evolution, I think that it would be more prudent to sign a one-year lease. Are there any 200-300K mile trucks?

    I just got into a 2013 cascadia with 225k, so yeah, there are all sorts of trucks depending on when they become available.

    You can do a one year lease on a new evolution, after the year you can do several things. Keep the truck, upgrade to a premium truck, get another evo or even luck out and find a lightly used premium truck for 2k or turn truck in and walk away if the plan is not for you. Options are there for you.
     
    knuckledragger and PokerRunn Thank this.
