Yeah sorry that just lets me find your post faster.

Mike will probably chime in tomorrow but here is his thread

Being Successful In The Schneider National Choice Program

I do know Mike said that if your leasing one of their trucks it is still their truck and will be treated as such. That means no modifications, worked on in their approved shops, they approve work etc etc etc

 

[Mike]

Not a scam at all.

You know how much the truck is going to cost, how much insurance is going to cost, and how long it will take you to pay for the truck.

It's up to you, at that point, to decide whether you want to sign the lease. Nothing is hidden from you.

Modifications to the engine have to be approved. If you install something, don't plan on removing it should you default on the lease.

Repairs go through "Kenworth Premier Care". They bill your maintenance account. They can also bill your maintenance account for up to $900.00 in repairs, whether you approved them or not. It's good to know that up front, I found out the hard way.

You're not bound to Schneider with a Schneider Finance truck.

 

[Bamaprodriver]

Paccar is in charge of your maintenance account but Schneider finance is saying I need to let them work on it they have a account and discount. I can go Toney company I like with the truck
