    Can't you also do a two year lease? Does the $5K down on a new KW apply also or does it change based on the lease terms? And can you do a 1, 2, or 3 year lease followed up with another 1, 2, or 3 year lease. ie 2yr then a one year??? thanks guys!

    The best bet is to call and ask. They may work out something for you.

    3 year minimum on a premium truck. Maybe the policy changed. A year ago the FL was no money down, now it's 1,000

    I'd do the 1yr on a FL to get your feet wet. If you like the program, and survive the first year then get a premium truck. They are SOOO much better than the FL.

    I haven't read all of the replys yet so I apologize if this is redundant..........BUT...............if you do not plan on keeping it, why get some used stuff??????? Go new, bro. I went used because I planned on keeping it.
    On the other hand, if you're going to upgrade in a year, go new........screw someone else's problems. Do you really think the previous driver kept that vehicle up to great condition knowing that in a month or so he was going to turn it back in? Or, would it be more likely that he knew he was going to fail and beat the crap out of that tractor because.....ya know......screw Schneider??? Think about it and don't get in a hurry.

    good luck
