Are you a lease driver that's worked for any of these companies?
Stageline. Worst company ever!
I was thinking about going with stageline since there out of Michigan. What’s bad about them?
Horrible me and my husband did team driving for this company . The company went under he hasn’t paid us our last 2 weeks payment and we were company drivers .. look at the google reviews they will say how he doesn’t pay people
Stageline Express is no longer in business. Would like to a updated list each year
As a driver you don’t wanna work for Schneider they are extremely strict.
Where are you now??
Can you make money leasing with them is all I want to know
Also their lease is not walk-away. And they will fuxxx ur credit it happen to a friend
@@stayinyourlaneaudits5213 you can but it's difficult to do. I leased a new Cascadia with them for about 9 months before I washed out. Rates on their load board is hit or miss, and my lease payment was $1200/wk. I was actually making decent money in the Midwest but when the pandemic reared its ugly head, I started pulling heavy low paying consumer goods because it was the only thing available. I also grew gray hairs with the amount of cancelled loads I got every week, and I had to re-plan my loads constantly. If my next load was cancelled, I had a short amount of time to pick another one, and by then all the best paying loads were already picked.
I miss leasing but I also don't. If I was to go back to OTR I'd lease a used truck from Lone Mountain or someone else, because again, the SFI lease payments were super high. Had my payment been $700-$800 a week I'd probably still be there, 4 years on.
I've heard from several drivers, Schneider's the Devil. They're on you all the time.
The problem with these LP deals is they over charge you for their trucks. Save for a year to make a down payment, then finance your own truck. Have it built and painted how you want. Don't just take what someone is offering. Do your research. Not these paid for advertisements, but from real drivers who have been through financing and truck decisions.
I must say you had the best insightful video about lacing that I've heard to the point.
So happy to hear that you found this helpful! Are you currently in a lease?
I bought a truck from Barlow. They aren't the worst company out there. I actually enjoyed my time there. Pretty cool dispatchers that will work with you.
Honestly, my opinion, TFY trucking in Muskogee Ok, absolutely 150% best LP program ever! ($200 wk in escrow until $3k limit for down pmt) no credit ck, $680 wk 2020-24 cascadia, or Intertrashional. 2-6 yr lease, NO BALOON PMT! $1 buy out for title, all plates, insurances, maintenance (.08 cpm) and massive fuel discounts. 100% fsc, base $1.10 mi +fsc. Fuel program. $0 Trailer rental . Midwest & az/nm only. No NY,CA, PNW or FL.
What do they pay owner operators?
Will you do one for tanker also tankers and hazmat
One of the key factors in leasing is having load board choice of freight and removing that crappy speed governor so you can fly at top speed
You damn skippy
Thanks
Thank you!
I think the biggest thing to look for in a lease is the payments for every week, fuel discounts, and maintenance. Those will cost the most
Absolutely, those are key factors to consider when choosing a trucking company to lease with. Have you found a company that offers a good balance in these areas, or are there specific companies you're considering for your lease?
@@OverTheRoadATS I didn't
@@thisperson6655 Here's our updated lease program list for 2024: blog.drive4ats.com/best-companies-to-lease-semi-truck
Video will be coming out soon too.
As of February 2023, RoadRunner no longer offers lease purchase plans for solo drivers. Only teams
I just checked their website and they do offer lease purchase for solo drivers now
Stay away from RR. They screwed me out of a job.
@@Shrek0gre84 This means nothing to others without context... Did you do something that warranted the firing? Probably, making your comment simply an emotional one and not a constructive one.
Good! Because I went there and they are a total joke!
@TxTrucker713 they were awful!! One of the worst places I've worked and the equipment was junk
Been trucking for 35yrs in bought 2 trucks threw s lease purchase in on my 3rd not with none of these outfits LP had work pretty good for me over the last 24yrs 3more yrs in on done wit trucking period I would lease any day before I go str8 company frfr
Which company I'm struggling I need money
Who do you lease with
Dart Transit is terrible , they make you do inspections every 90 days which costs you money and time they also have bad pay .
Roadrunner bought out D&E. (Also known as Dumb and Empty.) The rates went down, the LTLs disappeared and lots of deadhead miles.
thats nice but dude 600 dollars a week is = as buying a 2024 volvo . a 2018 truck cost 45k right now .. why would people do that is a buyers market.. the problem is there is no market to work . good video thou i guess there is a market for everything. this should be called how to regret a decision lease program in 1 2 3 sign here .
I've been in flatbed for 2 years company driver i think its time to lease a truck to get the right tarp pays, who do you recommended
Jordan Is legit
This video's ok but i feel like you should give your honest opinions of the pros AND the cons.
Roehl, Road Runner-AA express are NOT good. You've being warned
Schneider is the WORST!!!!!!!!! Stay away. They take 37% of loads and keep their best loads for company drivers
Stageline Express is no longer in business. Would like to a updated list each year.
Here's the updated list for 2024! ruclips.net/video/1BPTAZl9X3I/видео.html
NEXT UP:
Drivers who successfully completed their lease programs and now own their trucks 🚚. 🤨
How do you know they are good/great if you actually haven't gone and done their program and finished it? Sounds like you are just reading off a paper juding it based on what they are telling/lieing to you about
We'll be updating this video soon. What information would you like to see in it?
Dart is where I just left
Stageline out of Michigan is the worst company you can find. They have you go pick up the load them make you wait for one of their favorite drivers come and trade loads with you. You do all the pu and delivery but miss out on all the miles!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Stageline in Michigan. I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't a positive one for you. Everyone's experiences can differ, and it's important to consider a variety of factors when evaluating a company. If you have any specific recommendations or insights to share, the community would greatly appreciate it!
I was considering them, do they offer decent equipment?
You also don’t wanna go to rohel their fleet managers are jerks to you, belittle you, will pull you off loads
I currently work for roehl there’s also a big balloon payment at the end of the lease
I got my cdl with Schneider national, but I advise anyone, dont lease purchases with them, you dont wanna find out why
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience with Schneider National and getting your CDL with them. It's always helpful to hear different perspectives.
Been driving local .. making 22hr i want to make more i work 48hrs take hoke over 930$+ a week hur want to make more local.. is it posible
LTL, Old Dominion, Saia or Estes.
@@aarons.7271 Fed Ex Ground. I had drivers run for me that made over $100k running local home daily
@@brinsonprioleau8091 depends on the contractor.
Schneider I did team with this company and they our team bonus with misinformation about returning together as a team to collect the bonus. Even though we completed the months as a team for the holidays runs. It was the biggest rip off, they said it is what it is.
I have my LLC/EIN. I work for JB Hunt. I'm looking for a Lease Purchase program. I live in Cali.
You won't get one living in Cali. AB5 has caused all the major lease carriers to not recruit there.
At this time, I can only speak for ATS. We do not offer a lease purchase program for Californian residents.
Stage line express
Just looked into them they actually look refreshing
Are they any good?
Looks like they may be out of business as of febuary 2024. Google has them listed as closed
Road runner does not offer lease purchase for solo teams only just talked to them and Barlow number does not work ATS does not offer lease purchase out of North Carolina that’s where I’m from
You are correct. ATS is only hiring company drivers in NC. Below is our current hiring map!
www.drive4ats.com/hiring-areas
What are you taking about? I run lease out of Las Vegas, NV solo. It depends on the state you're in. I know they aren't looking in CA or FL right now.
I hope you aren't getting paid off to RECOMMEND these leasing programs. I mean , what is in it for you to speak so positively about these companies?
Thank you , though, you did a great job , spoke a bit fast so I had to pause and take notes because you tried to cover lots of info.
I thank you !
We are NOT being paid to reccomend these lease programs. We've done our research and these companies offer a low barrier to entry, high quality equipment and great pay. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a great piece of advice and you were HONEST !1
We all appreciate your video. Keep up the good heart you have and your work be blessed too!1
@@7ann7seven13 Thanks, happy valentines day 💓
@@OverTheRoadATS 💖 Great job you do here, and Happy Valentines Day to you too!
To be fair I don’t think when he mentioned Schneider he told a lie I met someone that said they leased a truck from Schneider and was making like 4k week and they wasn’t running hard but they bought the lease they got to landstar after like six months because landstar loads pay better overall
Can you send me the list
Yep! Here's the full list: blog.drive4ats.com/best-companies-to-lease-semi-truck
Forgot to mention....Sponsor by all companies mention😂
Funny you say that. The companies on this list weren't even notified that this list was being made. We used many of the factors mentioned at the beginning on this video to label them the "best".
This list is literally posted by a representative of the last company listed.
I would rather finance than lease
Both options definitely have their merits, and it ultimately depends on your specific circumstances and preferences. Here's an article that goes more in-depth on buying vs leasing a truck and what to consider before making your decision. blog.drive4ats.com/buying-vs-leasing-semi-truck-tips
@@OverTheRoadATS Thanks for the article, it definitely gave me more to consider.
Some miss info in here
We have an updated version coming out soon. What info was missed?
No for schneider
We're you paid by these companies cause snider is horrible slow trucks you go to pick up your load a dispatcher already sent a company driver in to get it so many rules your bound to fail. Think only one company you mentioned pays %. Rest are milage based pay if you doing that your just glorified company driver all the bills and taxes at end of year bringing in maybe 100 or 200 a week more than a company driver
We were not sponsored by any company to produce this video. The companies on this list were chosen because they offer great lease programs with great pay and other benefits, including well-maintained equipment, no money or little money down and no credit check.
How about that never mentioned what any of the companies pay. Everything you mentioned is the same as all L.P. Companies have. Just because it’s easy to get in a truck doesn’t mean your going to be able to make a living. I can’t believe you made a video even mention most of the companies you mentioned.
Hey David! Thanks for your input.

I’m a lease driver at Dart. I’m currently on my second lease. I can vouch for their lease purchase program.
Thanks for sharing!
Scam never take these offers you’ll never be financially free and free of time. Be smart save $ and buy used truck and use companies authority and you good.
All bad don't do it.
Only lazy drivers fail with leases. If you like not working hard trucking ain't for you
100% true
1:21 Nova Lines is a joke they don’t even offer fuel discounts and you can’t use your own fuel card for fir fuel you will be paying full price for diesel fuel and they will send you from dead zone to dead zone and you won’t make any money and you will only be a number to them
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience with Nova Lines. It's really important for truckers to have all the facts when considering a lease with a company. It sounds like your experience wasn't the best, and I appreciate you sharing your insights.
Leasing through a company is a very bad idea. They are all set up for you to lose not gain. One example sfi leasing has a large weekly payment and the a large balloon payment at the end. If you want to be an owner operator. Buy a truck the traditional way. You've been warned
I’m trying to figure out what’s the benefits of lease vs finance
@@yunggrampa727 Some people can’t buy a truck through traditional financing. Leasing can be good if with the right leasing company.
Everyone’s situation is different you can’t straight out and say don’t get into a lease program
Agree, I've heard many drivers who have earned excellent money leasing a truck.
Which company burned you on LP?
NONE
Never lease one
Leasing has its pros, like flexibility and lower upfront costs. However, it's not the best fit for everyone. Evaluating your business needs, finances, and long-term plans before deciding is key.
