I've heard company owners calling their own lease owner operators idiots, for falling into the lease trap and taking advantage of them.

[@MultiKingvegeta]

Damn really

[@mkdavid6956]

[@bennaylor3658]

Note did a zero down walkaway lease with crst specialized Truck had 500k miles 16 months to own it i was in the truvk 5 months and did 52k after everything fuel and all there fees on track for 124k net We made a fixed rate per mile of 1.84 plus fuel surcharge And would if had 660k miles on the truck at the end if the lease and made a extra 25k per year from saved truck payments or sold truck for 40k and started a new lease

It is so nice to see someone that is for the driver and letting people know how owning a truck is like and not filling them full of BS like the others do. Keep up the good work.

honesty in trucking, the rarest commodity in trucking now days!

[@mobahiru]

I remember in one of your videos,you said truck prices are low 30 to 40 thousand ,why are you selling yours for 75,000 ?

[@foltzenlogel]

Depends on year, mileage, options, etcetera.

[@smk4902]

Ronen for sure can give you the the sweet talk my friend.

[@donmunro144]

Personally, I wouldn't consider a lease agreement. What you're saying is correct. I prefer to purchase mine through a bank. If things don't work out with a company, I have the option to change companies without losing my truck. I am lucky to be with an awesome company, but what's to say that can't change.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

That's definitely a huge plus!

[@user-zp5gw4ni5u]

Considering driving and really appreciate your honesty.

[@hendricks5rocks]

Great transparency!

[@TheodoreRizzo]

I’ve always thought the same thing about about buy/lease truck since I obtained my commercial driver license here in the us is just a rental truck but ppl mentality they believe they owning it when in reality they just renting it. Pretty much same thing on buying personal vehicles lot us here in the us we like to trade in our vehicles every 4 to 5 years pretty much at the end of an average purchase contract about the time you finish paying it off you’re ready for a new one so you end up trading in the vehicle that you finally about to own it for a new one and start all over again on a new purchase contract.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

You're right on the money!

[@Farrell0208]

I think trucking in general is just garbage right now. Lease and owner ops are getting screwed and while those guys are saying to stay company, a lot of company drivers aren’t doing so hot. Let’s not forget most carriers are running off the spot market and load boards. This makes them JUST as vulnerable as anyone else because the company isn’t going to take a load that’s paying crap, and so the driver gets stuck sitting, sometimes for days waiting for a load. At least as a lease or owner op YOU have the choice and decision on that load. That’s the only upside I see is the freedom to move when and where you want and not what the company deems is best for them, and their profit margin and expense. Either way you go though trucking is in the toilet right now.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

You are entirely right! We are ALL affected by freight rates. While company drivers are a lot better off due to not having to tackle the expenses tied to their vehicle on their own, the fact is as long as rates are down, so is load availability.

[@jimhays1896]

Great video. Finally an honest company.

[@smk4902]

Well Ronen I have to say you're being honest and realistic.

[@MrMartinconco]

As a trucking company owner I must say that I disagree with this video. The national average is $2.05 but that means that some companies make 1.8 and some are 2.4 so if I am lease operator would definitely not like to work with a company that is not better than the national average. Another very important thing is that you didn't mention nothing about the maintenance. Yes you said that the truck has warranty but if the truck gets to the dealer the truck will stay for weeks sometimes months, so dealer will be used in extreme cases, even then you need to tow it to dealer and you have expenses. Just doing oil change is still a big expense over the year. The reality is that with these numbers better to be driver than getting into lease deals. It is possible to make more, especially if the driver is a serious driver with goals and not a lazy bum

[@nosliw321]

To the driver he cited get your own authorities insurance truck and trailer and with about 4 log boards you'll reach or go beyond your earning goal of $120k net.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Mayhaps you are correct!

[@monsterpke857]

Just transport cars for Tesla as a company driver and make a 150000 a year with full benefits or on your own truck and do it for GM get a huge fuel search and make about 250000 a year right now. Biggest thing is. Stop hauling this cheap f Freight. If you don't Transport it They will increase the price till somebody does. And another thing stop giving all these foreigners jobs. They're the reason why she'd freak gets Transportation because? Even though it's cheap. It's still good money for them compared to what they're used to.

[@chrisstrunk6056]

Question I have is, in this scenario. Why are drivers paying current interest rates for the lease purchase when the truck was purchased a few years ago at way lower interest rates? Do your interest rates fluctuate with the market? I assumed they are a fixed rate loan for a truck.

[@classicxl]

Scotlynn group here in Ontario is bad for this , nice shiny pete’s and kw’s with high payments and not enough fright to pay for them

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

[@GoaltoGo]

Interesting.. when I spoke to Vanessa in recruiting she told me 3 months as a company driver. Also I would have to park my vehicle in Atlanta during that time and then fly out to take home time. That's very very restrictive for this program to me..

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Sounds about right

[@GoaltoGo]

[@harmony.havoc.]

I was looking at them. Can you give me more details?

[@classicxl]

@@harmony.havoc. just read the reviews online crazy high truck payments , they keep the fuel surcharge and discounts they get from buying fuel ,they don’t have enough Canadian freight to keep you going and making money . if you take time off you will most likely be behind your payments and will repo the truck , if you make it to the end of the lease and plan to buy the truck don’t ever mention how much you have saved up because the shop will make sure you walk away from the lease . very few complete the lease

[@domingofernandez4359]

I’ve always dreamed about being an owner operator. As the driver in the email said, you are one of the most honest guys out there. I live in Pennsylvania but would love to work for you. Do I need to move to Atlanta Georgia? How can I get more information on your lease purchase program. How much would the down payment be to get started with you guys and can I do it whilst the living in Pennsylvania?

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Hi! Please reach out to us at [e-mail] for more information!

[@kodamag-bb2of]

Do you guys run in New Hampshire?

[@eas-eautocom4871]

Seems pretty good and explained well. When I checked at Penske on a truck I drove 200k miles, now up to 450k miles... supposedly with discounts was 38k, mm hmm. They wanted 25k down not that they stated the interest rate when figured out was 50%. So no 2nd sale here, bought one cash with higher miles 18,500 no rush putting it to work with low rates. ET does seem to have a good realistic approach especially as it comes with a company support sending the work your way. Hardest approach on just buying a unit is the hoops, then work once you're on your own. I was auto hauling with my 1st Penske unit, not general freight when guys were getting 4 a mile, who knew. Lol 😆 Glad you're trying to get leased on guys to ownership, the rest seem like just pipe dreams sold. 👍

Trucks are but to last unless you are an outlier you will probably get an average truck for your year make and model. You are more likely to forget your daily pretrip, as described on the papers you got in truck school, than select a bad truck. Not exactly bible sized, but it is straightforward.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Fair enough

[@ranaaliraza730]

And even the price of 2021 frieghtliners with miles are $50k to $60k.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

[@thegreatestbrotherandsiste3242]

Could John hop over to the flatbed division and hit that 110-120k?

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Haha... flatbed rates are even lower...

[@ranaaliraza730]

Why will someone pay you 25% dispatch fee. If even after that he only have to earn $8000 a month. He can dispatch himself or hire a independent dispatcher at 5% and bring his profit above $10000. This is completely nonsense to pay you guys 25%

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Do you reckon we should dispatch and provide trucks for free?

[@jpw7598]

They are providing full service help with your truck, not just dispatching. If the driver doesnt like it, they can just go back to being company driver.

😂😂 LOOKS LIKE "ET TRANSPORT " is recycling the old trucks that they can't sell to the regular market to the fools who want to buy it on a lease, 75k😂😂😂😂 for a truck that you can buy anywhere else for 45k, that's a good strategy for ET to sell it as a lease to avoid the gap losses from overpaying when got it overpriced new, and for the fool who go into this lease at that point i would prefer to get a walkaway lease with nothing down because by the time you finished to pay the truck it will go straight to the junkyard unless you want to keep a money pit

That would be the case if the trucks we were selling were several years old. We aim to keep our fleet fairly upgraded and have trucks from 2021 to present.
