Has anyone completed one of these leases or is anyone out there doing this lease right now? I know I have heard the bad about Fleece/Purchase's but was just curious. Seems like high payments for their lease on used trucks. It is also no credit check and you have to run strickly for schneider on the milage pay for 12 months.

I'm currently getting into a Schneider lease. I've been driving with them a while and am currently a trainer. Everyone I've talked to who is leasing has been pleased with the program and earning about what they were told, even a lot of people here say it's okay. As far as having to run mileage, I will not lease if I have to keep running like a company driver, I'm going select (dispatch yourself) or nothing. I'll be able to answer your question a lot better in a week or two since I'm currently setting it up.

Nope, no more training for me. Schneider actually won't let you train as a lease driver. That and I wouldn't want to, not going to tear up MY transmission hehe.

When I was there, I looked into leasing, but not real seriously. The most I did was talk to some lease operators, and read the website. The guys didn't have anything bad to say, and some of them weren't exactly brand new.
Speaking of transmissions, is there any warranty on the truck? -
the freight we get on the choice program would never work for training anyways.
the choice board seems to be pretty slow right now. there has been some challenges keeping the income up. you have to learn to think completely different then a co or mileage driver tho. you don't want to run miles, you want the shortest runs possible for the most money. If you revert back to the "I just have to keep running" mentality you will fail, just a matter of timejohnday Thanks this. -
The way I run now is percentage, if I got paid for mileage, it wouldn't be much for only 350 a day.
