By not disclosing the lease company you withhold important info and inadvertently protect them. It’s about time we man up and call their name so we can be mindful.

This crap has been going on ever since I started driving back in the 90s you figure people would wake up and get away from lease purchase but I guess they want to be an owner operator so bad that they're willing to sell their soul to the devil. If you're a lease operator you're not an owner operator you are renting a job and paying for somebody else's truck.

Well, I stepped into one of those "contracts", but the saving grace for me was "If I brought the truck back to them, I could just walk away." I started to get into serious financial trouble because of breakdowns and child support, that I finely said that's it, I need to go to work as a company driver until I get my finances straightened out. And because of that clause I was able to walk away. I lost. A batch of money that i put towards the truck, but they accepted all responsibility for the truck and I just worked on clearing up my personal finances. But I've known several people who been burn just like the couple you talk about in your video. Thanks for the advice Dave!!!!

If you go back to the early days before Dunford bought Laidlaw it was a revolving door, drivers walked away lost their down stroke and they would re lease the truck to the next victim. I met one in the early 80’s in Buffalo his first trip in his leased cab over Kenworth that had to be 10 years old. He had no idea what he leased when I asked him about the truck, he asked me what he’s supposed to do with the toll receipt keep it give it to the company. Very sad to take someone’s money and offer no training,

Yeah, Prime was big on that back in the day. I don't know if they still do it but there you are....

Even the dealership tells you, it's better to buy and lease thru the bank o credit union.

I was an owner operator but my truck broke down so many times, I got down to my last $100 bucks trying to keep it running. I signed a lease contract for a new truck with the intention of starting over. Nearly 4 years later the company called me in and terminated my contract and took the truck back, then sent me a bill for $8927 bucks.

Better off buying a 30+ year old truck rebuild it and don't go to California 😂 A lot of the big carriers trucks are on a 5 year lease, here in the UK. Apart from accident damage they come with full service and back up. We get paid per hour not mile or load, the spy in the cab limits your driving hours. Most are home each night if you drive for the big super market's , although the truck never stops ,one out one in. Trampers are out all week Euro runs may be two or three weeks out depending on who you work for. PS a lot of European countries don't let trucks move on Sundays

NEVER sign a lease contract !!!

I leased a car once. Dumb!!!! Thank God I didn't lease a semi truck !!!

Sounds just like all of the lease/purchase contracts I've ever seen or heard about. I signed one once with a major reefer freight carrier. I had a plan when I did it though and it worked out for me. I drove for that carrier for 6 months, then got real financing through my own bank. I then bought out the lease and took the tractor to the company of my choice. However. I was already an owner operator so I knew what I was getting into. I also had money put aside to fall back on during short weeks.

That is just plain pathetic and unjust! If my Dad was still alive to see what the profession he gave his life to has become..... it would kill him! I am 57 years old and have been a truck driver since 2004......and, it has NOT been good to me at all! Thank God Almighty that my driving record has stayed clean.....but, this industry anymore is awful.....and, God willing, in a couple years i am done with horrendous nightmare! And, don't anyone judge me.....for you have NO f-cking idea what i have endured and been thru! Then again, maybe you DO! =#

I am a lease driver, fortunately for me my company's lease purchase actually works. My truck is currently in the shop having the motor replaced under warranty, I have a loaner truck at no additional charge. I make very good money and several titles to these trucks are handed out every year. My company owns 27 other trucking companies and just purchased CT Transport after ComCar went under, so we can transfer to these other companies under their authority. I work when I want and go where I want.

Me and my Brother in Law are currently in the "big side" of the industry, but it's not looking up, no matter how far down the line you go. We're never going to make the mistake of getting into a lease purchase program either. I have had Zero Debt my whole life, and he's so close to getting out of debt from a loan he took to try the Owner Operator life, and let me tell you...he learned a LOT of lessons from that chapter in life. Has a totally different game plan for the next O/O endeavor. The general plan is to work for Walmart for a year or so, (he's a 6 year vet, working with Walmart for almost 2 years IIRC) pool our money to get our own truck (pay for it in cash) hopefully a 379 Glider so we can avoid the emissions and ELD crap, and work for a company in our region of Texas. I'm hoping we can find a job working direct for customers, and avoid the whole mega carrier/load broker mess. I will say though, I'm currently with a mid sized carrier (Frozen Food Express out of Lancaster Texas) and although the pay is not great for solo drivers, team pay is pretty decent, and (apparently) it's a low stress job. Dispatch isn't calling you 24/7, you're not forced to dispatch, people are friendly, and service is usually pretty quick. The biggest issue is that if you decline a load, they'll "blacklist" you for a couple days or so, and won't give you any loads. That said, I see from other angles and perspectives that my job isn't so bad after all. I've also been getting much better loads and routes since I've been with the company for close to a year. In the beginning it was pretty tough, but things are finally looking up. Still, I gotta keep moving forward to that next level. Thank you for all your advice and videos, humor and stories, and encouragement to Work Smarter, Not Harder. Edit: are there any specific tips you could give to a young guy who's looking for a mentor? I'm sure guys like you have forgotten more than I'll ever know, and I want to learn from the real pros themselves.

It's all predatory. The driver "leasing" the truck is an expendable asset.

I'm a LP, I do well, chose this route because didn't know enough about being an O/O, I like the fact everything is taken care of including IFTA, I just cover fuel, 3 year lease, & I have 1 more year & the truck is mys, but will probably sell it. It is some good lease programs out here, but very few, he is definitely correct to read over any contract

It's simply a TRAP ...kudos to smart trucking for making driver fraternity aware and literate about this deadly trap !

It is saving me 1400 a month just hoping she runs without to many major repairs. Time will tell.

100% you just saved a hack of a lot people a big time headache with your advise keep on truckin and thanks for the great advise

I’m SO glad you did this video. Now I imagine that the lease/purchase programs offered by these carriers don’t require a high credit score to qualify. So if you’re credit isn’t that great, what are your suggestions for finding a lease/purchase that will get your foot in the door without relying on a carrier? Or just skip lease/purchase idea all together?

When I was much younger I fell for the Celadon Lonestar lease. The glorified proStar was a beautiful truck and I never went in the hole but statement after statement I realized I was never paying that truck off. I resorted to training and my pay got a lot better but the overall goal of owning the truck was still never going to happen. After 9 months I got a load to a terminal near my dads house, parked the truck/turned in the keys, called dad had him pick me up. A few months later Celadon went belly up and I was grateful to the higher powers that I got out of that lease when I did. From there twenty-something year old me decided I’d never lease a truck directly from the company I was working for ever again. I got lucky, learned my lesson, and wised up to finding company positions that out pay ANY lease options out there. Long story short, don’t crap where you eat!

i saw one once that had a clause in it that said "driver is responsible for all other costs incurred etc....." which came down basically to "if you are driving anywhere other than from shipper to receiver you will pay them for the mileage" stay away...............the only lease (if any) you should consider is a "WALKAWAY LEASE" which is just that, a lease that you can just walk away from.

I guess, trying to own a truck isn't worth it anymore with all the hassle 😑

Not anymore. You guys, and gals, really have it hard. I'm not going to "lose my shirt" before I "kick the bucket".

Wow! What great information DO NOT LEASE and own your sole to the company store.

Courts have upheld binding arbitration. You're legally waving your right to jury trial when you sign it. Its pretty common in almost all contracts today.

Aside from constitutional arguments, the clause of non-cancellation has got to be illegal in and of itself. Wasn't indentured servitude made illegal around the time of slavery. Nearly all contracts have a get out clause, albeit with a penalty. I suspect a good lawyer would destroy that contract but I suspect those bound by it are either too poor or, heavens forbid, illegally working. It really doesn't read like a contract that would be presented to anyone who isn't desperate.

Work OTR for a year, save up 15-20k and put down on a quality used truck that you will actually own. Simple as that.

Of course the company is going to protect themselves 200% most people who get into these contracts generally have very bad credit so they can't get a traditional loan and these companies know it so they take full advantage of it and the people. Kinda like high risk loan places require not only high collateral they also charge you 300% to 400% interest. If you want to own your own truck get a cheap used one and run local for a while until you're in a good financial situation to do more. I myself have bought a couple trucks from friends that sold them to me on payments all with a hand written contract and a handshake. They were never more than $500 per month and no interest. Not to mention fuel insurance, and repair costs are about half as much running local as compared to over the road and the pay is also generally better and usually by the hour depending on what you're doing.

Thank you

Line haul, company driver, home every night. That's the best gig I've found in this business so far. I've been chasing $1000+ bring home pay, per week, since '09 when I started this journey. I've finally achieved it, and I don't have to live in truck stop parking lots anymore. Best job I've ever had. Got a nice set route, 533 miles a day Mon-Thur + $30 stop pay everyday. Then a junk, one-and-done run on Friday. Earning 21cpm MORE than I was at my last company. I'll retire from this one if they'll let me.

I have always told those that want to lease purchase or purchase a Tractor, that to learn your Truck and have some idea OR become proficient in diesel mechanics , would cut down trauma considerably. Some of the problems on Rigs are absolutely fixable ( excluding internal issues ) , reducing down time and keeping you rolling !! P.S ( Tools are Required ) !!!

Arbitration clauses are unfortunately very common in the United States, they are buried in dozens of different kinds of contracts, notably credit cards and sometimes even employment contracts. They are evil and sometimes hard to get struck from the contract.

Really good information, They suck new drivers into the lease leading them to believe they will be raking in the cash , If one really wants to be an owner opp your much better off building your credit as you gain experience then going to your bank and arranging finance the payment will be a lot less than the lease payment I’m a company driver for a small carrier that has both company and owner opp I make more than the owner opps if I have a bad week it’s just a bad week I’m not going to loose anything a lot less headache these days with the rates like they are , if I was to make the switch to owner opp I would buy new not used your fixed payments should hold steady for the first 3 to 4 years that cheep used truck could end up costing you more money in the long run unless you are very lucky and can do the repairs your self but you’ll still have down time

You are %100 right...we have been there and lived this nightmare...we lost out on well over $30k...I'll name the company in hopes that no one else falls victim...John christner trucking out of suplpua Oklahoma...run like hell from them...

If a trucking company offers a truck lease program, stay away from the program AND the company that would even think of offering such a dirty idea; don't even drive for that company at all.

Signed the lease, didn’t get the truck he wanted, has gone through two rental trucks, due to breakdowns... top it off freight rates dropped. He’s back to company driver now.

6000$ in a month?!? thats double my monthly repair bill and maintenance. I thought i had it bad but dam these lease company's dont have a soul

They are aloud to change your lease agreement before the last payment is due....The only option they offer you is another truck with 5 more years of payments. It happened to a relative of mine. It was kllm

I know the carrier. They tried to hoodwink me into one. I runnnnnnned away

Some points to think about. Most wanna be owner operators lack the business understanding side of trucking. I watch them all the time failing again & again due to their not understanding of how to run a business. They come in to owner operator business with a driver mentality. If I was a leasing company I will protect myself. What happens is that we want to learn business on the cost of others. That’s not how things work in the real life, there is a price to pay.

Thank you for the video my husband was considering a lease purchase watch the video remembered what an elder gentleman who was a seasoned driver and person if you will suggested going to a bone yard buy a truck rebuild the engine and or transmission he said my husband would come out ahead and slrep at night a whole much better sounds like these high interest credit card companies who promise you the moon and you wind up with the outhouse

Just need a better company. Lease operators don't make more, they make less and are just robbing the truck fund for extra money. That comes back to haunt them when they need to do repairs or pay taxes. I refer you to the court case of Olivieri vs Prime. That case alone should convince anyone not to ever do a lease purchase with a carrier.

If you buy a truck from a bank, they will still want their payments. It is no different than the lease contract. There won't be any "forgiveness" in a bank loan, you pay or they take you truck There is nothing unconstitutional with waiving your right to a jury trial in a civil matter. The 6th amendment protects you from the government, not from a commercial entity.

And always have it looked over by your attorney

I have a question if you have a lease purchase agreement with the trucking company and it’s a walk away lease I’m reviewing my lease I can’t find anything in there about when another company buys your company and where that leaves your lease are they going to try and make me sign a new lease because my lease has a dollar buyout at the end the new company has a $30,000 buyout at the end of their leases

Careful advertising for GC Transco as they are starting to get some bad reviews from drivers on Google reviews.

I don’t get when there is so much information already out there why anyone would ever wanna lease a truck, I m sure people get this authoritative feeling when they lease or something, cuz the numbers just don’t add up no matter how u look at it..

What about leasing on but having your own truck and trailer? Is that the same thing should we avoid that or is that a different story?

Isn't that first clause pretty much standard in a lease purchase?

I figured I would give it a try since it is a walkaway lease I had no intention any way of buying their piece of shit fleet spec truck. When they would not even let me have a factory installed manual fan switch for the radiator which were standard on the Peterbilt and the Freightliner, I had a Kenworth, they said they wanted the trucks to be specked all the same. It just so happened that batch of Kenworth did not have that option ordered but it was available. Even though I contested it would be paid for out of my maintenance fund they would not let me do it. The truck also ate DEF like a elephant eats peanut and said there was nothing wrong with it so I decided to walk away from the lease. I worked for a better company, through their lease; but not to own, which gave me a fuel network discounts and I made quite a bit more money. I had to become a company driver because I was unable to get a mortgage due to the fact of the way my schedule C was. I became a company driver for the next two years, realized how much money I’m not making doing over the road trucking and quit went local hauling fuel. Now I make six digits a year, home every night. I also have a five day on two days off schedule.

It’s nice to let people know the ins and outs of the pitfalls of the trucking industry. Trucking contain some of the most ignorant stupid people who don’t listen. Most of them can’t hold a job working with other people because of the way they think and act. They will continue to lease and will continue to do whatever they think is right in their mind, even with experienced people who learned the hard way. They will burn and ruin their lives over it. Hopefully at least 25% will make a change in their decision to lease or even consider driving a truck in this day and age.

I used to drive trucks for a living for about five years. Before the first year was up, I realized that it was all about the driver getting screwed in every way possible by maggot trucking companies, dispatchers, and other pieces of scum like the D.O.T. . I wouldn't recommend truck driving to anyone. It's a losing game, and the loser is always the driver.

This business is hard enough under "Ideal circumstances", without throwing in major road blocks to struggle over. Those leases are like Vegas, they ain't set up for you to succeed. IMHO...
