LRM literally just sent me the info about a hour ago to look at the trucks they have in stock. I got on here to see what people were saying about them. Came across your video and man God bless you brother this just saved me from a rough time and the kicker is I live in Pensacola your video definitely spoke straight to me
They gave me an option on multiple trucks but they really didn't have what i wanted at the time. During the search they went up on the down payment. I had already gave them $8000 down. They told me they wanted another $5000. That didn't set well with me.
It's a toss up. Do u buy a quality extended aftermarket warranty from like NTP or Premier 2000 costing thousands ($4k $8k $12k etc depending on plans) & have to deal with sneaky loop holes where they can get out of paying or just delete it from jump street because 85% of your problems & downtime are going to be DEF, EGR, Regen related and the $3k u spend on a delete will save u thousands on downtown & Bullshit related parts. I'd go for a more basic warranty just to get you though the next year or so to cover emissions & some catastrophic vital systems failure. After truck has proven itself not to be a money pit (meaning nobody beat the shit out of it or neglected it up till now) then delete it & roll the dice. But first thing you do is take it to the dealer or a qualified shop to give a used truck inspection, emissions inspection & dot inspection. They should give u a print out of the history of when truck was serviced at the dealer too. That'll be about $500-$600 but $ well worth it for peace of mind.
I’m thinking of leasing from them. Just doing my research right now. A couple of questions: so what happens if you turn in the truck before the lease term is completed? What would you do different if you were to do it again, apart from taking a mechanic with you. Thanks for making the time to share this info with us. Greatly appreciated!
Nothing happens if you turn it in early. It’s a buy here, pay here kinda thing with LRM. I couldn’t even turn the truck in, I had to have it towed to them from Mississippi. I would most definitely have a mechanic on hand if I did it again. If conditions were ever right, I would get another truck but I’d have it inspected from top to bottom and negotiate the price accordingly. They’re weren’t sleazy salesmen and they conduct good business, I just ended up with a bad deal
Perfect example of what not to do when getting into trucking. You’re buying a used truck. Set side money for break downs because they do break down. This was just an inexperience buyer that’s all.
Question: I haven't smoke Marijuana since August. 2010 but I was wondering if schneider called you in for any Random drug screens since you been there? or do they do yearly drug screens?
THX I drive for Wal-Mart DC out of Sutherland, VA I'm quitting August. 1 with money saved in my 401k I plan on leasing a truck and heading to schneider.
@@LoveandLifeLLC what was the model? I have 2018 freightliner Cascadia 126 with 641k miles but want to sell because I’m kinda scared for breakdown. What do you think?
@@abidinadiallo9398 it’s was a Freightliner Cascadia. By the time it broke down on me, it was up to 800,000 miles. If your truck still functions and it’s paid for, I would keep it
LRM has bad business practice I currently have a vehicle with LRM. NOT WORTH IT THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICE WOULD DRIVE ANY OWNER OPERATOR OUT OF BUSINESS. Every maintenance issue this gentleman mention in this video it’s what I am going through as a typed this message my vehicle is currently down at a shop to be worked on I’ve been here two weeks, issue blowing head gasket. I have not owned this truck not even two years don’t do it just do your resource. There’s plenty of other companies out there. They won’t do credit check if that is something you’re looking for. I ALSO NOTICED THIS VEHICLE WAS GIVEN TO ME WITH A COOLANT LEAK WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE RADIATOR LEAK BECAME WORSE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND LRM TO NO ONE.
Wow yeah they gave me a lemon for sure. And it seems like they did the same to you. I definitely should’ve took a mechanic with me to look at that truck before I bought it. Sorry they handled you like that. I know the feeling
As far as LRM, no they won’t really help you unless you can bring the truck back to them, but they discount the repair if so. But no, they don’t help at all otherwise

Glad I could help save a headache 😂 they weren’t terrible but they gave some lemons out there

They didn’t even give me an option. I gave them 8k down as well and they damn near assigned me a truck lol. Yeah it wouldn’t sit well with me either
Fair assessment
Happy Father’s Day

Yeah I wish I would’ve had the history and brought a mechanic with me…. Definitely would’ve stopped me from buying that money out of a truck
Thanks bro

I agree. I did what I could afford at that time but I know better now

@@campertaeva go for it driver! The freight is up and down at the moment but if you’re ready for it, make that move 😎
What are Schneider trucks governed at? 65,70?
I think the company trucks are either at 68 or 70. But the SFI trucks aren’t governed
I would’ve drop that truck to a Freightliner dealership and put it on the machine
Yeah I should’ve done that in hindsight 🤦🏾♂️
Happy Father’s Day.
How many miles had that truck bro?
Happy Father’s Day to you as well. It had about 430k miles on it. It’s was a 2015

Did that truck have a dd15 or Cummins ?
DD15
Do they help you with repairs if needed
As far as LRM, no they won’t really help you unless you can bring the truck back to them, but they discount the repair if so. But no, they don’t help at all otherwise
I pay 8k I want new new
Yeah I agree. That was the old uneducated me back then
No warranty??
@Slimm513 for that truck no. I have a warranty on the truck I have now.
