<p>[QUOTE="PiscesLuv, post: 11398513, member: 244411"]I’m leasing from SFI they only charge $5500 if you lease on to an outside carrier and that’s for a used truck a new truck is double if you lease on to Schneider it’s 0-500 for a used truck depending on the truck’s age and it’s mileage a new truck is $1500 if you go to Landstar it’s $1500 used and $3000 brand new. If you choose to transfer companies at any time it’s an additional 3k-5k transfer fee. SFI does run your credit and it will show on your credit report. You actually have to pass the application and phone interview before you’ll get approved they won’t ask for proof of a carrier agreeing to hire you until you get approved then they’ll want a letter of intent. They require 1 yr of OTR experience. But all of this is mute because of the shortage they’re no longer leasing to anyone that’s not Leasing on Schneider or Landstar used trucks are going by so quick if your admin isn’t constantly checking for trucks you’ll miss out thankfully my admin was on it and was able to get me a truck that fit my requirements 5 used trucks became available within 2 hrs all were reserved that’s how quick trucks are going I had to wire him the deposit within 24hrs. If you want a brand new truck there’s a minimum 6 wk wait be prepared for that time to be extended at least once. After you send the deposit and the truck is reserved they’ll tell you where the truck is you’ll have fly out on your own dime. If you lease on to Schneider they’ll put you in a hotel plus take care of transportation to orientation. Yes you have to do a orientation plus a road and backing test before they’ll even let you test drive your own truck they’ll let you walk around start her up and inspect her but until you pass those tests you won’t be allowed to drive her I believe orientation is 3-5 days they’ll teach you how to work the QC, how to work and book loads on their load board from there you’ll have the option to start running loads or you can go home completely up to you as you’re now your own boss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
