Looking for 2k week bring home walk away lease. 15 yrs exp

Who told you that? LOL

They are about to be in a world of hurt after the lawyers get done with them, since one of their lease drivers plowed through a school bus unloading kids in Florida last month...

 

Is it really that bad in the lease game these days? I'm company and gross $2,000 a week easily and take home $1,500-1,600. I get paid percentage running reefer. I used to lease and the people who say they are making money aren't paying for health insurance and aren't putting money back for that balloon payment. I did both and found myself with $1,000-1,200 after all expenses including health insurance and withholding for taxes. I just find it easier to make more money going to a small carrier that treats you well.

I'm not going to bash on leasing though. If you love the company you drive for and can see yourself staying there another 3-5 years and they treat you well, then a lease purchase makes a little sense. But just searching for lease opportunities for the money is going to lead to disappointment in my opinion.

 

Dang I don’t know much about the company just heard from a few guys that they were doing pretty good I was looking into getting a truck or 2 there and putting drivers in the trucks sounds like I need to rethink that plan

 

Can’t speak for everyone but I’m doing fine leasing especially now I took my SFI truck and leased it on to Cloudtrucks so I’m doing great. Grossed $8050 had $3559 in expenses that’s including fuel and CT’s 15% after my truck payment I still brought home $3418 and I only did 2 loads for the week. I will say I have no plans to pay off this truck I like being able to write off my payments on my taxes plus having all my warranties is great.

 

Ah yes, super ego.
The company that make you pay all your lease payments, even if you leave, or they terminate your contract.

 

School bus crash sparks shipping company scrutiny

 

Looks like the trailer was ego, truck was someone else. Doesn't matter, ego is going to be party in the suit. They will sue the company that made the air freshner in the cab of the truck.

 

I was doing some research about that SFI company they seem pretty decent. So you would recommend them? I'm thinking about getting a truck

 

NO. Dont start a new company right now. Market is ####. Go drive walmart for $110K a year.
