Prime Success Leasing

Aren't you still in training??? And you want to know details about leasing. Are you considering leasing when you get out of training????

 

Good Luck.


Carpe Diem.



Caveat Emptor.

 

If you're asking, it means you're probably suspicious...

 

Cool. So what about leasing gets you interested in trying it? Were you looking at the trainers checks and thinking it might be an opportunity?

 

Leasing a truck is like on the movie Goodfellas when you went into business with Paul "Paulie" Cicero....


"Now the guy's got Prime as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Prime. Trouble with the load? He can go to Prime. Trouble with the receiver , he can call Prime. But now the guy's gotta come up with Prime's money every week, no matter what. Business bad? #### you, pay me. Oh, you have to take some time off? #### you, pay me. Truck blew a DPF, huh? #### you, pay me!"

 

I lease , on my second lease not sure if I'll finish it simply because I'm looking for local work,
A hard working company driver can make the same money a lease driver can , so if the money is what you think sounds nice just go company and work your ### off .
Biggest reason I lease is because I've seen and heard the way some dispatchers talk to company drivers ( you are going to do this repower or you are going to take your empty trailer 400 miles to drop it before you go home and I don't care if it means you don't get there till Saturday morning you will still be ready to roll Monday.) Yes I heard a dispatcher say those words over the phone to a driver . I'm sure not all of them are arseholes..
For me it's about that little bit and I mean little bit of extra freedom. If I want to stay out long enough to bank enough money to go home for a month I do. And no one says a word about it. If I want to fuel in joplin instead of the yard I do because I can.

Yes it is a walk away lease but that doesn't mean you will walk away without owing money. If you are negative when you turn the truck in yo will owe that balance plus whatever they decide you owe for damages to the truck and t.hey will nit pick the crap out of that truck when you turn it in.

 

Never thought of it that way but yeah, that's pretty much it , heh.
