Do they have 1-, 2-, and 3-year contracts to start?

 

Depends if you go mileage program or fixed cost... but pretty much 18 months all the way to about 60 months.

 

company driver avg miles 2200 miles my blue cross is $25.66 a week clean inspection is $50

 

2200? I sure hope you are home 2 days a week doing those miles?

 

I heard they started a new lease program, straight up lease not lease to own. Brand new T680s on a 15 month lease. Any truth to that?

 

Not exactly... that's the mileage lease and it's been around since the start of the year. Pretty much the way it goes is -

18 months on a 2012 660's
24 or so months on a 2013 660.
36-48 on a 2014
New 680's would be 48 plus months BUT none are available now and for a while, getting some new Cascadia's now... and leasing the 660's at the moment. Don't quote me on those time frames but they're fairly close to what it is.

 

Oh ok, thanks. Is that what people are referring to as the 8000 lease?

 

Yup... 8000 is mileage
4000 is fixed cost
7000 is o/o
6000 company

 

a road call I just looked at my miles and it looks like by the end of our pay period Tomorrow night ,I will have accumulated 3,200 miles for the week. And I was home for 3 days

 

Hey lion. Haven't seen you on here in forever. You still hanging in there?
