I have done the lease programs at 3 different companies. Completed one, got ill on the second. then I went to Celadon to do the third. Well what a mistake. The truck they wanted me to buy was a piece of crap.It was a 2010 International prostar. It was clean on the inside with a refrigerator and a inverter, but it was not mechanically sound. The thing smoked like a old steam engine and the gears stuck in 8 of the 10 gears. I reported this. They put a "new" clutch in it, and couldnt get it to smoke. Well I am turning it back in. I have been in the shop for 7 of the 11 days I have worked for them. Then they want you to pay $100,000.00 plus $5,000 BALLON. The cost is .20 cents/mile for 500,000 dispatched miles and .11cents/mile for maintance. If you complete the leaseand dont want the truck and turn in the truck they keep half of the maintance account. There is no cap on the maintance account. Your paying physical damage insurance for a brand new truck. They have brand new trucks sitting on the yard. But you cant get one of them unless your a company driver.

since WHEN is a lease designed to benefit the driver??? they tell you up front from day one " if you become a trainer or put a second driver the income is limitless" there they just told you as a single driver unless you run like a scalded dog you WILL NOT EARN THE BIG CASH.
