Safe to lease out our Semi ?

just letting you know you can place a gps tracking locator somewhere on the truck to recoup if it were to be abandoned.

 

what kind of truck is? how much u' like a month. pm if u want, im looking for 1 truck for myself

 

Personally,I say sell it outright for cash only private sale,no warranty,you will have that money in your hand,private deals too often make enemies and someone gets screwed out of a truck or your money,there are too many ifs to go wrong trying to lease it. If it blows up,the leaser isn't going to be able to fix it,you are stuck with a tow job,repair and right back to zero again,or an accident holding you to a lawsuit by some smart lawyer,there are many things to consider. Good luck at whatever you do.

 

Have you thought about just leasing it to a good Carrier and sticking a driver in it for the time being? Or until you GIVE it away....

I would tell the driver your PLAN, so you dont hurt him when it's time to part with the truck.

The company you lease your truck to, can help cover your expenses and and get you fuel, plate, and insurance discounts.

Just a thought....

All the best,

LOL,, If you have seen the idiotic things a driver can do to a truck that I have seen, you wouldn't say that. I have seen guys run them out of oil, drive them with coolant leaks, overspeed them going down hill, there are a ton of ways to destroy a brand new engine. Not to mention they can sell fuel, tires, and God knows what else off your truck. Only way I would do it is with someone I have had a very long term good business relationship.

 

GREAT point joe....
I guess the security I have with my two drivers are few and FAR apart from real world issues. My trucks I do require to be parked in the yard here at the end of the business day. I myself have checked the fluids and I can be safe to say my drivers are ( respectful ) to the trucks..... Im blessed....

My 2 cents,
Matthew
