Former SNI Drivers Chat Room

No tricks. I leased a used truck with 320k on the clock for 2 years. At the end of the lease, I owed roughly $25k. The options were, keep leaseing, buy it outright, or get a new truck. I had $12k in my maintenance account and money in the bank. So, I wrote them a check, and they sent me the title. The only hiccup was that they were real funny about the money. ....had to be certified and on a certain day, and on and on. The office folks tend to make things harder than they need to be, but whatever.

BUT, you need to know that they don't report any of this to the credit bureaus. So, when you go to buy another truck, it looks like you've never done it before and it makes a HUGE difference......kinda almost makes you have to go back to them if you want a new truck. That said, if you keep all your paperwork and can prove that you successfully completed the lease, you'll be fine. I just thought it was kinda low for them to do that......they try to make it so they're the only one you can buy a truck from. Which is one of the top 10 reasons why I'm leaving. Just halfassed low life stuff like that.

 

This is exactly what they did with me back when I started 6 years ago. They had me stay in a hotel and I ran with a local guy in Phoenix for a week. He was one heck of a trainer, and I felt pretty lucky to have had him after the horror stories, too.

 

Yup, roadtrip over them big hills in a 4wheeler with Mrs91B20H8

Gentlemen, I am planning on resigning w/notice as a co. driver very soon. How did it go for you guys? I mean, I don't want to be left stranded out of state or worse.
