Lease Purchase - Farm2Fleet Trucking

Unless you live in Cali or run here i don't see the point on a lease on a truck with that many miles. If you don't have to be C.A.R.B compliant why bother with a newer truck, buy an older one and slowly refurbish it.

What you could do as someone else said earlier is make your own lease purchase deal but buy older trucks in the 10k range at auctions and lease them that way if you somehow get one returned its not that big of a loss like 30k truck, might sound dumb but it might work.

 

You want $41,500 for a $20,000 truck? Get real.

 

where are you guys coming up with 41,500 ? It's 375 x 4 = 1500 / month x 24 months = 36,000 + 2500 downpayment = $38,500, right ? Oh yeah, and $1 buyoff = $38,501, right ? what did I miss ?

EDIT - oh, I see my mistake. 52 weeks in a year, duh. okay, 41.5k it is.

It might be better to ask a higher down payment and go for a 12-18 month payoff.

 

Bill does not want that much, its what the leasing company wants. He wants to know your thoughts about it for someone that wants to get into there own truck but does not have the cash or credit to do it normally. And how you think this will work with his company.

 

Old Schneider trucks?

 

There are 4.2 weeks in each month

Schneider actually has trucks for sale for as low as $18-19k with fewer miles.

My bank told me with 20% down, financing will be easy as long as the truck isn't a total disaster. Any driver that can't come up with $2k down has no business trying to operate his own truck.

Ooops lol

 

As the driver Bill yelled at, referred to in post #17, I feel obligated to speak up here. It wasn't my attitude, but rather that I dared to disagree with you about blowing my biggest account, an account which your company screwed up due to losing paperwork and behaving in an unprofessional manner with an agent that I did a lot of business with. You screamed at me for a solid five minutes and I kept quiet because I was not in a position to leave at that time. I found a better option than your outfit very quickly afterwards. If anyone has questions about Farm2Fleet all they have to do is ASK ME. My name is Erin, email is ehamedi@gmail.com. I ran under them for a year and it was an education, to put it mildly...

 

The good news is that the new company is higher percentage, no incompetence and drama free. Hallelujah.
