The Hunt for an Ok Lease Program

'Must be 23 years of age and have one year (12 months) over the road, 48 state tractor-trailer driving experience, and possess a valid Class A CDL.'

Firstly, that post was directed at JCT's poster, not Schneider. And if you actually read my previous posts you would see how ridiculous you sound with that companies owing me something bs.

I do however expect a company to reflect a postive outlook on themselves. When I call a recruiter they shouldn't be sitting on the phone line barely auidble and speaking in a tone that seems like I either just wokr them up or a family member died recently. And during that convo the recruiter did not ask our expierence or anything about us, I was asking about them and they only information given was an answer to my question withou any additional information offered. Hell I got better answers out of CR England.

As you can see above, JCT's min requirements. Guess what, I've been driving with Werner since June 07. Guess that means I meet them then hmm??

Lease purchase is the way we have to go, but I will certainly be choosey in what I do wind up paying for. I fail to see how I am expecting a company to owe me something because I want to PICK the thing I am going to be paying hundreds a week for. Honestly I just think you are riled because I don't like Schneider and you do. That's fine, I used to get that way over people dissing Werner, but you can't please everyone, and in Schneiders case they didn't just piss me off, they broke the Federal law.


As stated before, buying outright is not going to happen.

 

And what company will take a 10 year old truck cause I've thought about that but every single company I've seen won't, except some of the expediting ones. I have looked at a 2001 Peterbilt that I fell in love with, and a 96 that I liked and could afford but was told few companies would sign one on.

Regardless of if I buy the truck myself, or lease on with a truck gotten through the company I'd be pretty much doing the same O/O package, so if the lease payments are affordable, why exactly would leasing, aside from being stuck with that company for the lease term, be such a terrible thing?

 

Hmm... this may change everything, but I had checked Landstar's site and I was pretty sure I had seen a min requirement I'll have to check again when I am off.
