I would suggest you read the multiple threads on TTR advising against leasing before making a decision.
Protein Hauler, Michelle Trull and OJTTrucker Thank this. -

If you're going to lease, go with a company that has trucks with Apu's,refrigerators, direct/satellite tv or tv hookups, etc.

Haven't tried to keep up with the different companies, but some, for example, have company trucks governed at 62 but if you lease they govern it to 65. I know one company had that plus refrigerators in the lease trucks but not in the company trucks.Last edited: Jan 17, 2016

I went to Roelhs school, stayed there a couple years and moved on. They have excellent training for the most part, but the l/p program is on par with most others in the industry, set up for the company to make money and the driver to still only make company wages. There are some l/p programs out there that are good but are few and far between, I paid my truck off in 30 months while making better than company wages. I suggest you put in a couple years with Roehl, learn the business well and move onto a better company to be an l/p or o/o.

Roehl wants a driver to have at least 6 months experience before going to Lease. I have been running with Roehl for 7 months now and am considering the lease option in the future. But, I agree with Dr. Flush. A few months of experience is, for me, not enough time to learn the business side before making that step. I DO know that Roehl supports their leasees better than a lot of companies.
I am interested to hear what others have to say!Michelle Trull Thanks this. -
Thanks Everyone. This is all great information. I appreciate the feedback.

If you're still with Roehl then - and since most new drivers change companies at least once during their initial year, the chances are you won't be - ask the same question January 2017. Until then, stay company. Learn the business and see if you like doing it. It is not at all like CDL school.scottlav46, TB John, Texnmidwest and 1 other person Thank this.
