    My cousin was recently able to rent a truck w/ sleeper equipped from a private owner. I didn’t know that was a thing, but I can imagine with the astronomical prices SFI, Ryder and Penske are trying to charge as well as the truck shortage.
    I spoke to SFI today, and they were talking about their lease is per week and due to the truck shortage wait times are about 4 months out. That wasn’t the bad part, the bad part was they quoted me $1020-$1100 per week! No way!

    At this time I’m searching for private owners or even O/O who either have an extra truck, or are looking to retire but still bring in some monthly income on their truck.

    I run bulk tanker so the truck would have to have a compressor and pump.

    Just get a loan from the bank & buy the truck. Why make 3 or 4 monthly payments in a single month?

    When i bought my truck, the monthly payment was less than your low end weekly payment from sfi

    That’s easier said than done, most trucks are going for anywhere from 50k and up with this shortage.

    50k is a grand a month man. Wtf people are buying 80-90 thousand dollar pick up trucks like they’re going out of style.

    how can you expect to pay 1,000-1,500 per week & succeed if you can afford to pay 1,000-1,200 once per month?

    Do you have an active MC and a million dollar GL policy with 75k PD? Do you have an active IRP and IFTA account with your base state set up?
