$1.50/mile - Some advice please

Any lease program that pays by the mile only benefits the company. If you choose to lease dedicated to one company, then you should be looking at a percentage arrangement rather than mileage pay.

 

Do you really believe they are going to GIVE you a brand new truck, with nothing down, charge you no interest ? You will pay for all of that somehow/ someway. there is no such thing as a free lunch.
And remember, you will not get paid detention, it seems. And you will drive miles you will not get paid for. There will be days { weeks ? }
you will not turn a wheel, but they will want their payments still. A new truck is lots of money, and what you "pencil out" don't always happen.

All of these lease deals have an angle in them, and they are favored in the companies direction. I would stay away.

If you do sign, keep us advised.

 

don't do it grasshopper! keep looking. a buck fiddy ain't something to get locked into.period.plenty will pay a fuel surcharge on top of that and i assure you that company is getting a fuel surcharge so i am questioning the ethics and business practices-

 

Wanting to run X # of miles per day and what you end up running can be a bit different. What type of freight do they pull , is there a buisy season and a slow season , do they have more than 1 base customer or 2 or 3 in case 1 closes down.

 

Is this International one of the 010 emissions moters that there abandoning? Do you want this truck after the warranty is up? And if you want to dump the truck what is the resale going to be, if you get that far? Given that international is having emissions growing pains I'd be very careful .

 

This is simply not true in all cases

 

Good rule of thumb:

If a companies website mainpage is more geared towards driver recruitment than customer service, RUN AWAY!!! The grass is greener on the other side because of the BS used for fertilizer.
