Thinking about the Schneider Lease Program

Let me know because I've been driving for 11 years and the last 2 years with SNI, I have been home every weekend. They told me I have to go OTR for 3 months before I can buy a truck from them. Kind of an insult to be honest.....

 

what are the packages like for the lease? I know some companies your spending $800 a week on the truck
are there buyout options? Also check on leased trucks that someone lost but might have 1 year left on it with a buyout at the end

Trucks everyone has their own preference, I love my international prostar but there are some who hate them....personally for space etc I would go international or freight, my international im averaging 8.3mpg overall for 2 months so far with it.

 

Ever heard that song, "I've been everywhere, man"?.........To think you forget is laughable....

 

I know it's laughable at best that they fed you that line of crap. But as far as I'm concerned I'm thinking about making the switch at the beginning of the calender year. I know, talked about it at the end of last year and they were discouraging me, saying it's the wrong time of year to switch, with slow winter freight, blah blah. That's the whole point though, once I clear the holiday season that's a perfect time to get everything put into place so you're ready to run by the beginning of February. And it's not like I don't have cash to throw around in the meantime.

Maybe you should just play their stupid game and run OTR through the end of the year? LOL

 

By the way, have you studied your atlas lately young man? You know, improper trip planning is the number one #### up for noobs.

 

agreed horrible trip planning can screw you in more than one way, out of route, miss your destination, late, go in the wrong way etc

im surprised when I hear a driver say they dont own an Atlas and rely on GPS
When I was in training my mentor made me use the atlas and plan before he would let me take off, he said I would thank him later, the couple times I did not do a good planning and got stressed out and lost.....well the headache was enough to teach me to listen.

I use GPS and Google maps with satellite view can be your friend but match it to the atlas!
I pull out my atlas and match it to the route given by the qualcomm GPS and then I use Google maps to see the area and decide the best approach, I have had the GPS give an address but the entrance is on another street...
plan smart, drive smart and make more money quicker than the idiot who doesnt and just takes a chance getting there.

 

Good advise!!!! Plan, plan, plan.
