Full Service Lease?

Your going about this all wrong. You need to develop your business model and do a business plan. Decide before you even look at a truck what kind of hauling your going to do. Weather you are you going to lease on or get your own authority. Then you'll need to estimate what your revenue per mile will be. After you do all that you can then start playing with the numbers to see what kind of truck you can afford and what kind of truck makes the most sense for what your going to do. Plan on hauling van freight coast to coast, better get the most fuel efficient truck you can find. Plan on doing heavy haul to mines then that large car with the cummins 600hp makes sense. Signing on with a mega carrier for 90cpm then that 2006 Century on the back lot is the right choice.

If you'd already done your business planning you wouldn't have to ask us about what truck to buy, the numbers would have already told you.

 

That's a joke. You should just buy a used truck. You can get one for 1k a month and have that much left over for repairs. That's just way too much $

 

Schilli leasing. Last week quoted me $500 a week plus .10 a mile for month to month full lease. Same thing only thing you provide is fuel. These where used trucks though. It would be cheaper if you did a long term lease.

 

I have no idea what your operation will be, so I cannot say if that lease payment will fit.

I do know that no owner ops I know or have even heard of, are doing a full service lease. That should say a lot right there.

I also can tell you that cost is higher than what my old used, pre-emissions era truck costs me, by far.

 

You can get a brand new truck from lone mountain for $1k/mo. less(same 5 yr length of contract). That's $12k a year so yeah I'd say your getting hosed because I can't see the cost of maintenance on a warrantied truck costing as much as an inframe every year.

 

Hi Rizen.... Don't think you are going to get a BRAND NEW TRUCK from Anyone for $1000/mo. on a 5 year lease..
You can get a used truck for that thou.....

 

It would help if the OP gave a bit of info on what make / model the truck was , how is it equipped that all figures into the PRICE / Lease and $197,000.00 to lease a tractor for 5 years is a bit on the HIGH side .

Here is what LONE MOUNTAIN has to offer today http://www.lonemountaintruck.com/inventory/ for basic comparison as theres are not full service lease
