"Full Maintenance Lease?"

Full maintenance would imply that they would aquire all costs associated with repair and maintenance. I think Ryder and Penske do this, but I don't think they are walk away.

Full maintenance, walk away, payment amount, length of lease, etc. Those are all seperate parts of the lease and need to be looked at indivdually and thoroughly.

Is this lease through a carrier, or through lease company like Penske or Ryder?

 

Most of the fleet lease places operate this way ( Penske, Salem, Ryder, INL, etc ) but to my knowledge they are not a walk-away type deal and aren't available to the person looking to lease one truck. The ones I saw were 2 or 3 year contracts.

The leases are typically depending on truck around $1800 / month and .06 mile or about $2400 per month. They do include PM's and breakdowns but when the truck breakdowns they may bring or tow you in to there nearest terminal and give you another truck. Which obviously means moving all your crap to another truck, then next time you swing through that area swapping back to the original one again.

 

There is a guy name Jefferies [sp] that is on Schneider Choice that does a full maintenance lease through a truck dealership.. He posts on youtube and offers advice on it..
He mentioned he has owned his own trucks too..
Just go to youtube and enter Schneider Choice, that will bring up his videos.. Other that seeing his videos, I know nothing else about him..

 

PacLease and Volvo have these types of leases...

 

Wondering how this all works out? I don't lease and I haven't worked for Schneider since '99 but at that time you had to run their base plates which i would think would not be something Penske,Ryder and such would agree to.

Also mentioned was swapping trucks if the one you are in breaks down. If you have to run Schneider base plates you can't just swap from one truck to another.So I'm assuming with that you have to wait for your truck to be repaired.

I'm guessing Schneider has something set up that if you lease a truck through one of these companies you can run their plates permits and such?

 

Jeffery Like is his name. I watched the video and am very intrigued for sure. Gonna keep doing some research about this option.
