    Note to self. If I see a load that I think I may want, better jump on it quick. Lesson learned!

    Has anyone leased a new Kenworth or Peterbuilt from Schneider Finance in the past 3-6 months? The 2015 EVO is $0 down and $798 a week. Wondered if anyone picked one of the other options and why did you choose?

    Yep..I have a 2015 KW T680.

    I choose because I didn't want a Freightliner..nothing wrong with them but figured what the hell and put money down for a truck I wanted.

    Interior is set up a lot better than the shakers..rides better and very quiet..turns very tight.
    Bigger bottom bunk,refridgerator and plenty of storage.
    MX13 is pulling very nice..fuel mileage is good as long as you keep your foot out of it.
    It has the new tripak evolution which is set up for easier maintenance and carb compliant.

    I did have turbo trouble the 2nd week I had it..took it to a KW dealership..they put me up in a motel at no cost..mechanic kept in contact with paccar and they overnighted parts..up and running the next day.

    Cons are its heavy..20500 with me ,full tanks and all my equipment.

    I'm very happy with it so far.

    Did you have to pay extra for the fridge? Or was it just the 5 grand down? What are the weekly payments. Thinking about switching over when the one year is up on this 2014 FL in August.

    Anyone know what the oldest trucks Schneider finance has that you can lease or purchase? I have been looking at the trucks schneider has for sale on truckpaper and was wondering if they can be purchased through schneider finance? Im looking hard at the percentage program but really dont want a new truck.
