Schneider choice program orientation and getting truck Schneider finance

I doubt I pay more for my trucks than some Flease deal myself, at the end of the term that is.
I paid cash for my first trucks, plain and simple. Start at the bottom and work your way up
Work, save money, buy truck. If you have credit, goto a dealer and choose your truck yourself. If not save and pay cash.
I have pretty much always pulled open trailer, as it pays more, plain and simple common sense in my book.
I for one have NOT looked down my nose at anyone , unless they say totally stupid things.that defy logic.
There, that's how I started, no big secret to it, besides hard work, and not wanting the most shiny truck on the road to start with.
Now maybe you'll stop being so defensive and maybe, just maybe, understand that we are only trying to help you guys avoid a financial disaster. No difference to me at the end of the day, I still load my good paying load today at noon.

Maybe you weren't "looking down your nose" to some on here but it came off like that to me.....

I figured you paid cash for your truck but that is the difference here....some people can not......and thus we have lease purchases.....the only way for some people.....do we overpay, yes, but it is a way to start and to overcome in the following years....is it a gamble...yes....but you have to work it so the odds are on your side.....

good luck in your good paying load today......and good luck to those who may not get a good paying load today......it all comes around !

 

Oh my first trucks, both here and back in England, were FAR from nice and fancy in any way! No air ride, small sleeper, and so in. Made me money though!
If I came off as being arrogant, sorry, it was certainly not my intention. Just trying to offer advise is all.
I would still not go to a carriers lease purchase though, but look at other 'special' funding options like lone mountain etc.
If someone isn't making good money hauling general freight, change what you haul, don't think that a carrier lease purchase is going to fix nothing.
Will try to remember to take a photo of todays load when I load it .

I do have the means to pay cash for any truck in the market, but I want to try leasing a truck first to see how it goes. I make more money lending out my money than driving a truck. But I'm involved in trucking first cause I love driving and seeing new places and people and it keeps me busy mentally and physically.

 

If I was in trucking for the cash, I would have left Werner the first 3 months, cause making .24 CPM + .04 CPM Safety Bonus, I could not live the lifestyle I'm used to. For example, the first helicopter I got, did it thru leasing, then I went ahead and bought a helicopter, which is parked at the Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, CA....so anyone wanting a tour of Southern California?? ...just holler

 

In other words if you got something to say that's positive, go ahead and say it, but if your going to respond something bitter, don't sour it for others

 

You won't be in control of anything. You can't see that now but you'll figure it out.

@ RockinNewBee Some people need to hear the truth. Not everyone is a multimillionaire with toy helicopters and money to burn on adventure. These are real people about to make a huge gamble.
