    hello guys, im a fairly new driver been at schneider for about 6 months now running teams, the pay is good when we have good weeks (5400-6500) miles, we each get 1100-1400 after taxes, granted we stay out 45 days at a time.....so thats that.

    we met a solo lease to own driver in an OC and he basically was telling us that we should get into lease to own and the whole nine....he showed us his last 3 statements and they were all over 3500 take home weekly.

    he kept saying that if we went lease to own and ran even half of the way we do now, we could make a killing and being that we are in the north east made it even better.

    im here seeking for other opinions and any help will be appreciated.

    thanks in advance.

    Do you know which company he's with?
    Maybe some drivers on here work there as lease drivers and will clarify.

    he is also with schneider, he started as a solo OTR driver and then made the move to lease to own.

    Bad idea, the money your making is what you should make as a solo driver, You really want to think twice regarding leasing a truck specifically with a team driver.

    Look at Greatwide. I knew some drivers that had been there 15 yrs. or so and doing really well. They stayed because they were making good money every week. I say "knew" some drivers because have lost touch with them since moving to Nevada.
