Lease Questions, please don't attack

Sorry, but the only good lease is one leased from a dealership, then signing on with a company, lease deals from companies don’t benefit the driver/drivers, some find it satisfying, but many end in failure, sorry again, that’s just the facts, many leases are a walk away lease, because they know most will do just that, and they can re-lease the truck and make more money of that truck, plus you do not earn any equity in the trucks you lease from a company, for example you lease a truck with a 5 year lease, then after say 3 1/3 years you decided this isn’t working, you can walk away, but you just gave up any Val the truck might have had, so, again, if I was you, And if you don’t want to purchase a truck, you can lease trucks from dealerships, just like a car, stipulation my very of course, then find a company that meets your requirements

 

I personally think it’s better than leasing from a company

 

$1.22 is still $1.22

Might be an okay rate if you are also covering fuel costs.

 

Covering all reefer fuel, and the current FSC covers just about 85% of the tractor fuel as well, depending upon how they drive and what their tractor is capable of doing.

 

Leasing gets a bad name because the shady carriers earn it. BUT, they aren’t all bad. My advice is to find one that pays % of load.
My current lease: 70% + 100% fsc. Regional = home every weekend.
My lowest settlement has been $4500. My weekly Average is $6500-$7500.
That’s my portion- my truck grosses an act of $10,000 per week.
Not posting this to brag- just to show there are good ones out there.

 

But then they doctor the rate cons so you don't see what they are skimming off the top.

 

With what I’m making each week, they can’t be skimming much.

 

Regional, home every weekend and truck is grossing $10,000 a week

 

A strategy for that is to try to find an outfit that bills through a third party such as Cass Freight Systems, to avoid that type of fraud as best as possible

 

not that I have to prove anything to you, but here you go pal. This is from Feb- now. Let me know if you need help with the math. This is my 70%
