    New to the forum but I noticed you have a lot of info on comtrak. I Live in the Charlotte nc area and comtrak here is booming. I am trying to go in as an o/o. I am considering the lease purchase as well as finding a tractor on my own and financing through my bank. In your opinion, what do you think of the lease purchase through them. The work is here....year round.

    Comtrak Logistics is now known as Hub Group Trucking! The trucks will begin transitioning the decals over from Comtrak to Hub Group Trucking!

    Wondering.....After you apply to lease purchase, what is the process like? Do you have good options when selecting a truck? How long is the term? Also wondering what fees you'll have to pay once you obtain your truck.

    Depends on what you want in a truck.freightliner are the most responsible. Then Pete's and kw. The term is about 3 to 4 years.I got a reseat lease turn in.most guys here in dallas run freightliner. They run about $ 1000. To 1300$ as long as it its leased to hub you get a discount on your payment so if you leave add about 400$ to the note.most get warranty from. Select dealer.take the note divided by 4 weeks in the month thats your payment.add about $89. For insurance. No Qualcomm fees.months with 5.weeks you pay the weekly note.that goes to the principal. At the end the extra pays off the the lump at the end. Of term. Normally you get refund.I have no problem my payment is 245$ dallas has longer miles.what termail are you looking at

    I'm Looking at the Charlotte terminals. What fees are there after you get your lease? So are the lease purchase trucks good and road ready once you get them or not?

    None just truck note and insurance. No fee for Qualcomm.two dollar for use of fuel card.they don't charge for blow outs. They come from freightliner or peterbuilt and kw.

    I was told that you have to pay a tax for the states you'll be operating in. Do they set you up with CPA's?
