Companies that will lease on OLD truck

Mercer & Landstar allow older trucks.

 

Robert from Mercer informed me today 1/2/24 that Mercer does NOT accept trucks older that 2012. Landstar is model year 2000

 

did that change? I actually looked into Mercer before getting my own numbers and they just said eld compliant, which even though I have a 97, it is all connectable through the ecm, all depends on what the 94 has a c or an e model

 

It's the insurance!

The minute it turns 20 some insurance carriers won't insure it.

The actuaries and prognasticators have rolled the bones and cast their dies and decided that real old = increases THEIR liability in a catistrophic incident so they limit the age.

Smaller successful carriers have a good relationship with an insurance broker and often have older equipment of their own.

Same guys have maintenance so they know the condition of the older trucks they lease.

 

Where do you live, city and state...makes it easier to make suggestions.

 

you want to become a cheap labor , ah? unbelievable!

 

You guys are replying to a five year old post from a member that hasn't been around since May of '23...

 

Some say he leased on his 1933 Kenworth and is having so much fun there’s not even time to post about his adventures here.

 

I mean, I'd watch that sitcom.
