questions about lease purchase

We don't hate lease purchase

 

The trucks through Quality are very expensive once you add up all the payments but there is no credit check and it is a walk away lease with no repercussions as long as the unit is in good shape. You'll have that weekly payment chasing you every week and that'll make it really hard to take time off. I know a few people doing it and they get miles but again, very little time off and when they do, they owe another weeks payment no matter what.

 

At the rate USA is going to pay you, can't help but think it's going to be a bad experience

 

Terrible

 

Dizz, that's the going rate for most of the mileage based leases. Percentage based leases like Landstar and Schneider choice pay better potentially. You'll gonna hear lots of comments talking about the low rates and comparing them to owner ops with their own authority and paying all the bills. Lease ops aren't paying all the insurance or doing much of the paperwork or ifta stuff. It's not great but lots of people do it if you're motivated and have no other options. Just know you won't be getting long periods off for a good while

 

Plus that "horrible-terrible-ridiculous" rate is paid for all miles, loaded and empty. And also when your in crappy lanes like Florida.
