[@timhuggins8174]

First off I’d like to say I do enjoy your video’s. Your straight to the point and seem to be honest and very genuine. I was running under someone else for a few months, non CDL and now I’ve applied for my own numbers. I’ve driven trucks all my life, I’m 55 years old. I’m a strong believer in preventive maintenance. Definitely not always but I bet it’s as high as 80 to 90 percent of the time that truck will give you some kind of sign or slight noise or something that something needs some attention. I’ve put more then 300,000 miles on more then 2 or 3 trucks and knock on wood I’ve not been stranded on the side of the road much at all in all my years of driving. Just my input on this. Not saying the enterprise thing is bad but paying close attention to your vehicle may save some people a little money.

[@ko9446]

I run a 45’ 5100 gallon tanker hauling brine. The company I work for owns the trailer but leases the tractor from Ryder. Being a retired equipment mechanic I was thinking the company was completely off base with this. My boss talked to me about it. We are in the water conditioning business, not the truck maintenance business. Our lease covers all maintenance, all tire repairs and towing (even trailer TP). If my truck is down more then 5 hours I get a loaner. I can see why they go this way now. Sometimes a piece of mind and your company able to concentrate on what they do is worth a few bucks a month.

[@LoadMizer]

Your company isn’t alone there. There are a ton of fleets that operate that way.

[@1dva4life]

Great video! Thanks!

[@landmanhall]

This is exactly what I was thinking! I'm just starting out and one huge repair bill with a long downtime would end the job for me. Once I got some money saved just for the unexpected, maybe Ill reconsider buying. As the business owner, my main concern would be the cost versus benefit numbers. The truck becomes an asset when it provides you with more income than expense. I would love to see a cost comparison over 1 year or more of both owning and renting including any downtime for repairs. I wonder how much of a difference the lack of an auxiliary tank would be?

[@jasonbourne1596]

I currently have a factory job lined up, it pays pretty good, up to over $1600 a week, I tour the plant Friday and talk to the plant manager. My plan is to work there, buy and older truck and go through it, make sure it's mechanically sound, but a new step deck, save for everything I need to start the MC and get started, and, and this is the important part. Save enough to cover me incase I do break down and have a big repair bill for a long length if time. Then when gas prices are sane again I'll probably start doing this then. An old truck is just as reliable or more than these new trucks, especially if you rebuild the engine and refresh the parts that will probably give you down time.

[@Hall7180]

Love the honesty as always Ricky, give it to em straight. At the end of the day these trucks are tools of the trade Semi or Hotshot so if the method you're using works for you and makes you a good profit why change it? Keep the wheels turning and stay safe man 👍 👍 😎.

At the end of the day everybody's going to have their own opinion and that's what his video is about, his opinion. We all are open to taking his advice or not taking his advice. I'm still partial on leasing because I want a mega cab or I want a 4500 which Enterprise does not offer but I'm still doing my research and weighing my options.

[@LoadMizer]

That’s it. This industry has to be custom fit to each individual person in order for it to work. My videos for the most part aren’t a guideline set in stone. It’s just what works for me. Everybody has to do their own research. My vids just help highlight what to consider 👍

[@jasoncoley572]

One thing to think about as well depreciation. If I buy a $75,000 on a truck what will it be worth in a year with 75,000 miles on it? I'm thinking you will lose about $30,000 at best case maybe more. If you do the math that would cost you $2500 per month that you most likely will be paying for in more ways than one. Thanks for the video it makes my choice clear..

I have been in business for a lifetime and I can guarantee that you will grow your business to any size that you desire because you have the head for business. Most successful people in business have been through bankruptcy and have used that experience to make better decisions in the future. I can see that you are a fast learner and a stickler for detail, you will be whatever you want in the future...

[@LoadMizer]

I appreciate that a lot. The bankruptcy experience was one I will never forget and also one I will never intentionally repeat. I learned more from failure than I ever would have imagined about business sense. That’s why I’m choosing to grow my freight base instead of my fleet. I have no need for more trucks if I can’t feed them freight directly.

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

The enterprise truck doesn’t cost that much more than buying and you are always in a new truck which minimizes the downtime to the absolute minimum.

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

New truck, $1,000 monthly payment for 72 months. $72,000/500,000 miles=$.144/mile Maintenance $.05/mile Repairs over 500,000 miles $.075/mile Total- $.269/mile Enterprise $.22/mile plus down/60,000 miles. I don’t know what the down is but let’s say $5,000 $5,000/60,000= $.083/mile Total -.$.303/mile Leasing costs you $.034/mile to minimize breaks downs to the absolute minimum, always be in a new truck, you never have to work on your truck, and zero risk of buying new and having a catastrophic event out of warranty, such as an engine going at 175k miles and costing you $25k. 10,000 miles a month x $.034 = $340 For $340 a month you get all that.

Renting is a full deduction at the end of the year? Can you share the tax benefits of renting? What city offers your rates?

That’s right? The entire cost of renting can be written off. Another perk is that you can use Enterprise’s physical damage insurance. It’s about $350 per month as opposed to around $800 added to your commercial insurance policy. You also don’t have to pay property tax on a rental.

[@mikegoens2128]

If you rent for a year and can pay cash for a truck would the new truck paid off be better in renting in your opinion or just keep on leasing?

[@LoadMizer]

For me that would depend on how many miles I rack up on it. I’ve already drastically dropped my mileage just by switching to cars. The more local customers I get, the lower that mileage will be. If I can consistently run around 1500 miles per week then I think I’d pull the trigger on buying. That way if something does go sideways I’m never far from home and I can take it to the people that I trust and know the vehicle as well. 👍

[@mikegoens2128]

I plan on staying on the road alot with 4 to 5 days home per month. I have nothing holding me to the house so I would rather make money. So sounds like lease is the way to go.
