Riverside Transport Lease Purchase?

ACT Trucks are some old ### trucks with gobs of miles.

 

Yeah I know wow mine had a ton of miles. 104,000. Drove it 236,000 miles now with no problems. You are so right.

 

No need to put your home up for collateral to buy a truck. I purchased my Classic for $7,800 two years ago and currently doing an inframe with MicroBlue treatment. Engine didn't show any big signs of needing rebuild (1 gal oil/12k miles, plenty of power, 6.6+ mpg), but I felt 800k on a bull gear was a long enough risk. If you leased and paid off TWO trucks, they extra in interest is almost equal to paying cash for a 2 year old truck. Tell me how freight rates differ for a $12-15k truck over a $145k truck?

 

Thats just what I've been told.

 

anyone here still work for riverside? been awhile without a post was thinking of getting onboard with them any info would be nice

 

i used to work for RTI go check it out for yourself, i myself think it was a big waste of time,but that's me...it seems to me that RTI had alot of "favorites" there...since i knew of the company i only heard one person complete a lease,the rest usually quit or keep switching trucks...good luck to ya

 

They don't!! I've seen 20 year old trucks that would put 20 week old filthy & banged up $145k ones to shame.
I don't care what company it is a Lease Purchase is not about you period.
If you want to become an O/O save your pennies and pay cash upfront for a truck and/or a your own trailer. Then YOU are your only obligation.

 

Anyone have more info on loading and unloading at RTI? Are we talking multiple stop deliveries, is there freight palletized freight or do you see floor loads? What kind of pay do they offer for driver load/unload? Anyone know of there hiring area, Im from the Florida area....

 

my husband has been leasing with rti out of owensboro, ky and he has almost paid of his truck and makes an average take home of $1054 a week, he gets 2700 miles a week and gets home weekly. they said they will continue to pay for our permits and plates once paid in full. i think there lease has been great for our family.

 

I believe the maint acct is like an insurance program.....you get no cash value at the end.......am I right?
