    Seems to be a classic way to scam guys into making the mistake others make.Run how you want when you want the most ignorant idea.These are the ones who should never be self employed.Go into debt for a $150,000 truck and think they can work less than before they had the $150,000 debt.Use your head L/P is a stupid idea.The guy trying to talk you into it will quit in 6 months

    If i did lease one, I’d go somewhere with a choice program, where you pick your freight, not a dispatcher running your pay, Schneider has an All In pay, yes it looks low, but that price you see is what the truck gets after deductions, hence all In.

    Agreed. I was very successful on the program, (roughly 10 years) and have no bad things to say about it.

    Currently running the Schneider Tanker load board. I am successful currently grossing 5K a week,

    Do not expect to go home every other day, or every other month to make that.

    I chase money loads, get home when I have enough saved to pay all the bills,

    I went through orientation with seasoned Heniff, QC ex-lease purchase guys who Leased a brand new SFI freightliner at 1150/wk.

    They all failed in the first two months.

    How many miles on average to gross 5k a week? What's the percentage Schneider is taking from 5k? That would give us a better assessment if it's a successful endeavor :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Average I run 2100 miles a week, loaded and deadhead.

    5K is to the truck, after Big Orange takes their cut for taxes, IFTA filings, insurances, tolls.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I did the usx lease purchase started in 2019. My initial lease payment was like 596 per week with .12 cpm to a maintenance account. It had 398000 miles on it for a two year lease purchase. I paid it off early before the two years was up and took it to another company. Now it has 830000 plus on it and still runs well. Freightliner cascadia detroit 15
