    I can tell you the truck payments range from low to high. I'm kidding my payment is 440.05, .05 cpm maintenance, the value puts my physical damage insurance at $161.00 a month, bobtail is $35.00 a month,occ/acc is 17.44 a month?(will double check),EOBR is installed free and comes with internet access,navigation the the price FREE.

    Pre pass and ezpass provided at a discounted rate of 12.99 a month, they keep track of the IFTA taxes you pay for them and your plates/permits $33.00 a week, which is little less then you would pay yourself for a year(1600+) without the hassle.

    Health insurance they have several plans which range from 338.00mos,up to 1100.00(major medical),just call them to many options to get into k.
    They give a set of straps,Enforcer king pin lock(55.00)=half price,a large road atlas and a few other nick nacks. You get a fuel,tire,repair,tow discount and at certain shops they will put a rush to fix on your truck.


    I can tell you it is worth checking out go to schneiderjobs.com and click o/o tab lease program and purchase power tab. I took home 1850 last settlement with a 3day weekend after all was said and done with a 325 advance taken out to cover some of my gadgets :biggrin_25517: TY and keep in touch hope this helps.

    The thing about this program is it's not about miles,miles I think I said that before but it's important to look at it a little differently.

    I look at revenue to the truck first;then the breakdown;delivery time no long loads(2+ days) because it's about doing short runs or a good cross country run with a short one or return back but in a week that's hard to do at first until you get in a good lane.

    Then cpm,weight,area live ld,unld, pre lded,drop lded.



    I'm still trying to domino my runs a little better I just like to finish one then pick one,I worry about breakdown,other issues on the load I'm trying to deliver none the less have to worry about the next!!:biggrin_25524: That's just me being safe,and concentrating on the current load. I had a leveling valve bust tonight(port failure;housing) I was able to patch it good enough to get to the OC for the part which I will install myself and save money on install part cost; $51.25 labor; me cheap:biggrin_2559: I will be up and running in the morning for my next load and fuel here CHEAP!!! 3.51 gal.

    I ran my fuel mileage numbers average is 6.62mpg with 2 heavy loads in a row, I'm looking forward to Pittsburgh Powers muffler install(by me),and getting ecm up to date,injectors evened out,both to help boost mpg by maybe .9-1.00mpg I hope.

    I want to keep maintenance to necessary and preventive to have a little nest egg at the end of lease(1 year),to use for down on newer truck or to keep this one and bring it up to par. Just think the right planning and fuel management don't forget luck and you can run less than 3K a week and bring home over two grand a week,or like they're ad says 800-1000 dollars a day!!!
    It can happen I ran one load 601 miles that paid 954 to the truck with a 9k lb load at 6.59mpg .42fsc 3.45 a gallon fuel =62.00 spent give or take a dollar or ten ;) =892.00 for a days work.

    It appears to me that you listen to Kevin Rutherfords show on satellite radio. I understand that some lease companies do not let the driver alter the truck while they are making payments. Have you double checked with Schneider Finance about changing the mufflers (or any of the other suggestions Kevin makes on his show)?

    This lease program doesn't sound bad at all, I have only heard negative things about leases until this thread. Very interesting, would they hire an accredited trucking school grad?

    I use to listen to KR on sat, but I don't have it in my truck now ,they(Schneider) sell sat radios in their store(Dallas) and online, the muffler is a modification that will be returned to original when the truck is turned in if I decide to turn it in.

    I think if you don't drill big holes in anything or catch it on fire,you should be fine if curious about it call an talk to finance k hope this helps.

    I also forgot to mention they don't take out truck payment for first three settlements.
