Ive done at least 5 WalkAway Lease purchase program. All of them have been the same Old Song. They Never never give you Enough miles to pay for that truck. But they do Pay them selves before they Pay you so that leaves you Almost nothing every week 😢SAD!!!

Havent finished the vid yet but i would say never go for any type of lease that is mileage based aka paid per mile. Always look for the percentage based pay.
@chiefcarriers 5 місяців тому
Pro's and con's to both approaches. In today's market, percentage based plans are struggling. Percentage works well in the drivers favor when freight is busy. Mileage base seems to be a better long-term play and supports the drivers in a down market. Leaves the carrier to absorb the brunt of the cheap rates.

If there's a balloon payment, run!
@chiefcarriers 5 місяців тому
If you're leasing a newer truck, there will always be a balloon payment. It's the residual value of the truck that is due at the end of the lease term. Just find a company willing to finance the "balloon" at the end for you...

If business is not stable, while drivers do not like any stress but looking to pay what is required then nothing wronh going by pay percentage out of rake home earning because idea is one person has investment while other person put his effort, skill, labor then earning goes into 50% 50% while keeping 25% for equipment (truck and trailer) that all you need. So if truck broke down then no payment till it back on the road, may driver got sick etc or took given days off per year. So no sress and any one can enjoy with trucking not suffering with maintenance, old truck, or looking a different one.

No I did not have to pay any extra money at the end of my car payments lol 🤣 is this how you try to convince people that a balloon payment is okay lol

Doesn’t seem to matter how many lease purchase nightmares you read about , the poor insist on getting poorer.
@craigsmith1068 11 місяців тому
So they would own the truck after they hit 750,000 miles😮
@chiefcarriers 10 місяців тому
Yes, that would be about right. Probably why the walk away lease has gained popularity so drivers never operate a truck out of warranty
@monkmoto1887 5 місяців тому
No. It’s not. You’ll pay way more and the company doesn’t give two shits if you starve in the truck or not. And that’s ANY company with more than 10 trucks
@moderngunguy3666 Місяць тому
Your company is selling a used truck? Lol there's companies out there selling you brand new trucks that you specifically order for yourself on lease purchase deals
@jpw7598 Місяць тому
Basically New truck $200k-$225k = 5yr contract & $1000 weekly payment Fairly used truck $50k-$80k & 200k-300k miles= 2yr contract & $600 weekly payment Better to have cheaper truck & pay the it off asap because a down freight markets happen every 3-7 years; during those down times you will be living check-to-check or in the negative with a new truck. Maintenance & repairs for the used truck will be cheaper in 6 years than the total payment of that new truck. Own the truck asap, Dont let the truck own you

@@jpw7598 No they're three year leases. For $1,000 a month brand new trucks But yes I agree it is better to get a cheap truck and paid off quickly.
