I plan on doing this later, but every lease operator at Navajo Express has been pretty happy. Though I’ve only talked to the guys who haul all the meat loads, they said after everything they’re taking home around $2700 a week. I know Navajo offers 65% of the freight bill to the operators. I’m still very new to this company, and don’t have enough experience as a driver to qualify yet. But figured I’d toss it out there

Is there a difference in success rate between lease purchasing through the company you drive for, and lease purchasing through a 3rd party? I've been watching videos nonstop, reading forum posts and trying to soak up all the info I can.
Most people say you become a slave to the company you get a lease purchase from. What if u drive for company 1 but lease a truck from a used truck dealer?
I'm looking at greatwide trucking, all the videos and posts Ive seen by LP drivers seem good, but they don't directly sell you the lease, they give u an option of like 9 other companies to go through for the lease.
Since greatwide doesn't actually have skin in the game as far as the lease is concerned, does that make it safer, or no. -
Side note, It would take me years to save up to get my own truck, I'm not doing that, so please try to be helpful with the advice and not suggest I do that instead.

I have a friend who leased a truck from Quality and then leased onto Panther and did quite well for a few years.
The truck treated him good and then he got complacent and started spending to much on toys and then BAM the truck bit him in the ### and he didn't have the funds to fix it and just like that, out of business. He's back to a company driver now and somehow he blames Quality.
Point is, even if you have a good lease deal and a good company to lease onto if you don't have the ability to put the business first and what all is entailed in that you're doomed from the start.
To answer your question, I wouldn't lease from a company that has total control of the work I get but that's just me. There are many out there that are successful leasing a truck from the company they work for. So to each their own I guess.

7k a week not a chance. 5k a week on a great week. Home every week highly unlikely

Look at Schneider Nationals Lease Program.

People should persue the chance based on what their situations are... or consider people’s experiences positive or negative as a reminder of what could happen. You shouldn’t pay attention to the “ I know a guy or I have a friend” comments because it’s third party answers. Most drivers will leave out important details on why their lease purchase didnt work.... they could be bad drivers, poor money managers, wants to stay local, doesn’t know how to operate a business or anything that can hinder them from being on the open road.
Jpeterson522 Thanks this.
