Just Curious - Company vs Lease

Companies spec there Lease Trucks better then the company trucks to give you an incentive to lease. For instance with swift as a new driver you may be put into a 5 year old truck, BUT if you lease you can have a BRAND NEW truck.......people fall for that stuff....

and over the last few years companies have started mixing up there trucks, both models, specs, and even colors. For those companies that BUY there trucks because its easyer to sell them. Like Snieder a Cheapo Neon Orange truck is HARD to sell, thats why werner buys decent trucks with all the options so they can clean them up when there done and sell them.






American Trucker

 

Some companies have exclusive contracts that specify American made truck(car part carriers) which disqualifies volvo, etc. Then you have comanies under agreements but have since merged with other companies changing that dynamics of the agreements usually mixing to benefi everyone.
