    That or renting out one of the endless amounts of Schneider Shakers they have sitting would be logical thus the answer is no.

    The way they did me was offer to let me catch up payments by paying an additional $100-$200/week once I got my truck back until the payments were caught up. I declined and told them that if needed, I would simply make the payments to them via a credit card. They seemed very surprised about that.

    This is my long term plan. Not sure about a used Schneider trailer, but definitely buying a van or reefer once I get my truck either paid off, or really close to it. Just don't want two long term bank notes.

    So you're buying the truck once your lease is up?

    Once my lease is up the way I set up my payments I'd only owe 3k if that so yea I'm a keep it.. And my miles should be around 500-600k..

    @freightwipper ..get that all in writing that it's kw who is the liable for the engine or Paccar and I'd sue them or least hold the possibility of doing so if things dont go right for losses to your business..

    I was at Crete 18 years. I drove their trucks and also owned my own later.
    2.2 million miles.
    Never had one on a wrecker.
    I traded trucks when egr was coming out.
    I traded then to get a new truck without egr.

    I tell you this so you all can see the contrast between before and after the emissions fiasco.

    In other words, trucks used to be dependable.
