6 months experience next month (looking to lease on)...

I heard the same, i work for schneider and a fella i met came to sni from prime because prime tried to force him into a newer truck after his was paid for he declined and prime declined him a dispatch also the charge for qualcrap about 80 a week, sni doesnt and sni o/o pick their loads and can line them up 3-4 dispatches back to back at a time and thats called the choice program although you may be required 6 months dispatched first to make sure you can handle your loads.

 

Whatever you do dont go to sorry england.

 

I am also looking into leasing, contract would have to have the walk away option tho. I want to know what its really like being o/o befor i buy my own rig. I am just looking into it at this point. I know most people say u dont make any more money than a company driver but i talked to gal who leases with swift and clears 900 a week after everything. thats a good paycheck in my opion.

 

Just be careful. Not all lease purchase programs are bad. The one at my company is a walk away lease. All you'll do is lose the money you put into getting the truck and paying on it. Doesn't matter if its 3 months in or two years in, you can walk away. There are terms and conditions but they are fair.

in order to make money leasing you have to be a trainer aka run team with a newbie All the time. you wont always have a trainee on top. the fact u want to lease so quick worries me

Hey right now its real easy to get a truck on your own thru a dealer then lease it to a good company that way u arent tied down with one of their trucks. I was very close in doing so my self but here in Cali the emmissions crap has increased prices way too much just ridiculous and the ones u can buy cheap are only good till 2014 i heard they got extended to 2016 but with the 14 grand worth of filters. I know i know move out of CALi im working on it.

 

What are good companies that wont leave you strugglin thru a lease?

 

quick question why dont u want to haul beer? you'd be the most popular guy in town lol and i agree with a lot of guys on here forget about leasing save ur pennies and buy ur own truck outright then either get ur own authority or lease on with landstar
