THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

I agree that is very good. I am so used to everyone putting so much emphasis on "slow trucking" in these type threads. Thanks

 

The brand new freightliner has no down and after the year if you want to switch trucks and you can upgrade or keep the truck you have. No reason to go used May as well get a new one to start with. The payment would be almost the same anyway. PM me and I will have john call you and tell you about the freightliner we have.

 

Yeah those evolution's get awesome fuel mileage. I've been averaging around 7.5 running anywhere from 68-72 with a mixture of light and 40k plus loads. You don't have to run slow to get good fuel mileage in these trucks, but slowing down some should help quite a bit.

 

The evo isn't considered a premium truck?

 

No. The EVO is not a premium truck. It is spec'd to company specs and not many options. Originally I wanted an EVO with a tripak, fridge and XM radio etc. Was told only way to get a truck with options was to get the t680 or 579 by peterbuilt. No volvos at this time either.

 

Nope that is their standard truck. No down payment required. But you can get a few options if you pay ahead for them except for an APU which is included. We just got a fridge and put it on the top bunk and we have XM but has to get an antenna. My best advice is to get a white or white colored truck. The guy that does the APU showed is a heat sensor that our black truck was over 20 degrees hotter than a white one.

 

I'm part of the closed beta so I have no issues. If I do I get a email asking to rescan. Those rescan are usually pg bills.

 

Out if curiosity .. If I had a paid for 2006 Century with 715 on miles and let's say I run it 2 more years in the SNI program . Could I trade it in at Schneider Finance and get down payment credit towards another unit . I'm not looking at it until a few years but a option I was looking into .. And let's say they give me 14k trade and I put down around 7-10k I'm sure that my payment would be lower than the normal correct ? Just a thought I had .. But I've always do w biz with arrow truck sales

 

Schneider would not take it on trade. Too old. Maybe sell it outright and have a larger down payment and yes that would lower your payment.

 

I'd prob just swap it in a few yrs at arrow .. That's what I've done the last few trades . I was just curious as to if SNF took trades in that age range . That answered my question though
