That's quite a change... including the size of the down payment. The previous system was $10k on a two-year note for a used truck (including the one you're currently leasing) under 450k miles, or $9k on a brand-spankin' new one. I'm curious... were the terms written into your current lease as part of the buyout option?

The ace lease has an ammortized schedule that shows your monthly progress. It shows the payoff weekly. All costs are listed in the lease as well.

Sorry IP, I misunderstood your question. The terms for conversion are not in the standard lease. We pursued the change by discussing it with Success Leasing. As far as the driver rating and the reduced downpayment, it is very very hard to get your rating above 3 within your first year of driving. I would think that very few new drivers would get the reduction, and most would not make the money for the downpayment that fast.

Hmmm the idea entices me. Considering I'm gonna be divorced, have no kids, and my only bills are a cell phone and cheap rent with a friend. Ill see how my Hawaiian bro does first

How's freight pay on the flatbed side? Same game, short runs pay better then the long runs??
Just curious. It's all in knowing how the game is played. If its first come first dispatched how do you know if your getting the best paying load?? -
Ive spoken to a few l/o on the fb side. They were happy. Not sure bout exactly how the lease works. Its all about creating a good relationship with your FM. Take care of them, they take care of you.

EnesteVarg Thanks this. -
Thanks. Well as a company driver and then an o/o my dispatchers used to all bring me to town and take me to dinner. Of course we had paper logs then so I would run my ##### off and be home every weekend. Now you can't do that, and they can't think you will either. I've ran from Dallas to to the west coast in a day and a half so I could get a good load out by noon.
Im not interested in that anymore, but driving 10 hrs a day isn't bad.
Left north Carolina one afternoon after 4 and was in Cairo, il by six the next morning. That sh## will kill you. I don't want any of that any more. Guess that's where the elogs stop them from even trying to push you that hard.
Thanks -
My FM knows how hard I can run. He keep me moving, but knows I need a break sometimes.
