    SNI's lease purchase is one of the best I've seen. What makes it "look" like a rip off is the high payments. Payment wouldn't be much lower, if any, if a guy went to freightliner & had them finance a brand new truck with no money down. The problem with SNI is they will let anyone lease a truck & come on choice. I'm glad I did only a one year lease though. I'm enjoying a much cheaper truck payment even though I've had to put a good chunk of money into it already.

    @HalpinUout I don't see how Mercer having a FB school instead of their one day training making them into a mega.

    At any rate, I'm excited to be coming to Mercer even though I'm bummed about pulling a van. Who knows, I might be able to get with some agents & line up some good van freight & I'll do alright. Being versatile is key.

    I was just comparing it to a Mega/breeding ground of inexperienced drivers. To be It almost attracts drivers with not much experience. You've seen first hand what letting anyone run in the choice program with little experience has done to it havent you? I haven't check in a while how much experience driving wise Mercer Requires?

    They've done a one day training for flat bed class for over 10 years. Changing the term from class to school brings them closer to a mega how? Its the same class just in a different building and with a few additional pieces of cargo.

    Well Generally when the term school is used it's more than a 1 day deal.Mega was a broad statement.

    No worries, I understood what you meant. Class/school makes little difference. The difference in Carrier and Mega is blurred too.
     
    HalpinUout Thanks this.
