Paid nothing with company I leased onto.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
The reason I was asking because this guy I met want me to lease onto his small company and he wanting me to pay a 1500 down payment which doesn’t make sense to me I might as well get my own authority right out the gate
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Getting your own authority is usually 20-25k the first year, if he is leasing you his he can charge you for the insurance, depending on what he’s taking off the top, some companies do not charge back.

That makes sense thank you guys just curious about the whole process .
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Sounds like maybe he’s asking for an escrow account money up front maybe? Companies do this incase you rack up a fuel bill and quit or owe for any kind of equipment damaged or not returned. Perhaps the carrier worded it as kind of like an “ insurance” for the carrier. As far as actual insurance? Well I guess all leased o/o’s pay to a degree, but it’s just what I consider to be part of the percentage they get on the rates.
Rideandrepair and blacklabel Thank this. -

If they do it is $600 - 800. I never heard of a down payment. Sounds scummy.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
If the co. you are leasing on makes you pay for insurance. you should be getting a hi % than trucks that are getting insurance. paid by co.?
Rideandrepair Thanks this.
