What happens to leasers when fuel prices go back up?

Just sign on the line at prime you'll be fine!!!!!

 

Fuel surcharge goes up with fuel prices

 

How about NOT leasing be a company driver save you're money then buy a truck the traditional way.

 

How much will you make per mile before fsc with said lease? Is your company going to pay you the full fsc or a fraction of it? Are you paid the same for all loaded and empty miles?

How much is your payment, insurance, permits, etc per week? Does the company your leasing on with offer fuel discounts?

Will you have a maintenance account? How much per mile? Is there a performance bond?

Do you know how to eek out as much mpg as possible? Is the truck capable of reasonable mpg?

Do you plan on going home? No revenue, no paycheck.

What is your plan of action if your truck goes down for a week for repairs? That fancy truck may come with a warranty but how are you gonna pay yourself without a truck to work?

Do you get to pick your loads or will you be at the mercy of a planner? Do you think your planner will have the same financial goals as you?

There is a lot more to think about than how "much more" you'll make as a lease driver vs a company driver. A lot to think about, learn and understand.

Just a word of advice but you'd be wise to keep some place as a "home" or else you can't legally take the per diem tax write off.

 

And a van down by the river doesn't count.
