    Well, I don't know for sure because its been several years since I signed up.
    But it's like someone else said, they're pretty cheap.....maybe around $100. And if you can't come up with $100, you might want to rethink your plan.
    Call them and find out

    I cant recall myself but I believe when I paid for one a couple years back it was only charged as a 1/2 hour of labor $50 at a small shop I went to. So ya definitely cheap.

    Right, but I think that's Schneiders price. If you're paying for it by yourself, they'll hit you with the full price

    Why not get your own bobtail insurance, then get it inspected. I, take it inspection is a FHWA or state inspection like we have here in Pa. Then btail to whomever you want to lease on with. They may want to check out your truck again before you get signed on.? Do you have your own plate? Money may be tight, but having your own plate is beneficial because if you break the lease, you can btail on. As you have your own btail insurance also.

    Schneider will hook you up.
    $140 a week all in.
    But, you need to get it from point A to point B
