Lease - purchase (teams)

Yeah,USX wont lease a team a truck.They lease out 07 century freight shakers(the base model) with only the cat engine.(they sell all the detroits,because no one wants the cats)you start out with a 600k truck,that 20 company drivers have taken excellent care of and get around 6mpg that you're buying the fuel for and you might get lucky and make it 6 months before major repair issues force you to be back at square one, BROKE!Teams put to many miles on a truck,thats why they're always in brand new rigs.Could you imagine putting teams in 600k mile trucks,thered be truck parts scattered all over the U.S.stay away from USX's lease deal.Use your head,even going solo and ending up 2 yrs down the road with a wore out century with a engine that gets 5 mpg and needs a 20k$ inframe on it,what have you got? the answer is simple= Nothing

 

USX will lease a truck to a team. A couple I was in orientation with switched to lease and they love it.

Yes, you will have to pay your co-driver. Settlements are paid to the truck. That's why team leasing really only makes sense for couples, unless you can find someone willing to work for peanuts.

A lot of people go into a lease looking to purchase the truck. Don't do that. Just think of the truck as a tool that makes you money. Once the lease is over get rid of it and get a new lease.
