    O.K. a couple of basic questions about Scneider's Lease Program ?

    (a) Do they offer Lease to BUT Programs ?....When The LAST PAYMENT is DONE....I OWN The TRUCK ! with TITLE in Hand !

    (b) Can a driver,after signing on to thier Lease to Own Program,go Directly to thier Pick your Own freight ( Percentage of load ) Board....Or is there some kind of Training Period ?

    (c) I have been asking for 10 YEARS ! Living in So. floridaa,and still to this Day,they DON'T Hire south of Jacksonville !....It use to be up to Orlando,but even that is to far South for them !
    And what I DON'T UNDERSTAND for the Life of me is WHY ? They DON'T Hire O/O's from Miami....I mean if the FUEL & Freight ( which is thier EXCUSE for NOT HIRING ),is being used for Comapny Hires....Fine I can Understand that......But IF I'm PAYING for the #### FUEL & TRUCK !.....What difference does it make NOT to Hire out of Miami !:biggrin_25513:

    To add Insult....i've even told them throughout the Years,thaat I'm single and Basically Live on the Road.

    And STILL they say : ' NO ! '....Go Figure ? ! :biggrin_25513:

    I had the same problem a few years back. From what I understand, it maynot be about freight, but about the safety of the truck. South Florida is one of the top Highjacking areas in the country. But yet Craigslist has an add for the at least once a week. Try getting a PO box in Jacksonville, see if that works, or look for another carrier.
    Good Luck and safe miles,

    Larry

    Yes, you own the truck (and just as btw, you don't have to drive for Schneider to lease/purchase one of their trucks)

    You will go into a "dispatched" fleet for approximately a week, or until they can route to Charlotte for your switch to "load board" freight. (At least this was my experience)

    I can't help with Florida..

    Good luck. (And watch your deadhead miles, don't be to quick to choose cheap freight, sit & wait for good rates)

    I was looking into doing the same thing as Miami Trucker. It sounds like you have first hand experience with Scneider. I was just wondering if it was a good experience compared to what is out there today, as far as leases go. Any information would be great.

    I wouldn't lease a truck through SNI.. Its best to purchase truck through a financing company. If you don't have the credit or start up money, you already behind the 8 ball. You are in the military, so patience and discipline is a must in this business. There is nothing wrong being a company driver.

    After reading on this forum, you should know to stay away from Fleece deals. It only benefit the company not the driver.
