Avoid Roadrunner lease purchase or any other

While I can’t speak on the money they were earning at a whopping $1 a mile plus fsc I met plenty of drivers who completed a lease purchase at Werner 7 or so ish years ago. At the time they had a ton of retired Freightliner Classic XLs, Century Classes, Kenworth T600s with Cats, and even some Peterbilt 379s. A lot easier back in the day when you’re getting a used reliable truck under lease purchase. As far as today.... never met anyone that has paid off their $160,000 plus loan either.

 

Fleece purchased my truck from Central Refrigerated 4yrs ago while I was a rookie. Busted my hump, worked very hard and finished the 1yr lease. When time had come to either trade it in or buy it out I bought it. Then left. Now here I am with a paid off truck and my own trailer working when I feel like it. It has 755k miles on it now though. It is possible.

 

Total out the door for me for my truck was $53,400. I inherited the $15k escrow account from the previous lessee. She wanted a KW T680 so I took over her lease on the volvo with 180k miles on it. Nobody wanted this little blue truck so they cut me a deal. I personally only ever drove Volvos so it was no big deal. I really wanted a VNL780 with the bigger sleeper but this was a good deal so I grabbed it. Been a good little truck.

 

What year is the Volvo? D13,D15 or Cummins?
