did a few side projects to get my truck together before heading to landstar pLus we talk about the process i went thru to lease this truck. This is just my process. I want to be transparent so here is the lease info.
Insurance: True North
$1500 deposit
1044 a week for 150 weeks (includes $162 for the mandatory maintenance account)
$38500 residual value
OUCH! Let the judgment begin.

That’s the problem. People feel if you not doing the process the same way they did then they’re saying you’re making a mistake. How many roads in this country lead to the same place. Quite a few. A path to success is a path to success. They’re longer ways and shorter ways but as long as we meet up at the same destination that’s all that matters. Congrats on tour truck bruh. I just got approved for a lease from LRM in pompano beach Fl. I’m doing me and not giving a damn what the next person got to say. My vision is my vision. That’s why it’s called “My Vision”.

@@franciscoortiz2715 I certainly don’t think their 65% is worth a shit. Especially when Landstar literally provides NOTHING other than their authority. You literally have to cover EVERYTHING.

I noticed a few comments fam in regards to leasing and while I'm not a big time fan of these money hungry ass companies and their get over schemes, I'll say that I can respect the be a man about it nature in how you stand on your path. For those that read this, you can always start with a lease, tighten up your credit, contact a credit union (typically better rates) and get them to take up the lease to then pay monthly. Just a thought but respect and blessings to all of you.

@@chez8239 you can get your own authority leasing a truck but what he did was lease onto a carrier, so he is running under their authority and dot number

@TRUCKER CHEZ im just now seeing your message. As raptor said, when u lease a truck from an outside carrier, u are responsible for getting your own mc/dot #s. Whether that be through a carrier like landstar or your own authority. Getting your own authority is not cheap and can be a hassle but it can offer u the best earning potential. I personally have no interest in getting my own authority so i prefer to lease onto a carrier and run off their authority.

I just came across this video. i'm trying to do as much research as possible. At some point i do want to own my own truck and be my own boss instead of working for a company as a company driver and being told where to go, and when i'm allowed to take hometime. it's just a scary thing going from being a company driver to making that jump to leasing. especially if i don't have a down payment or good credit right now.
@aaronmelson2887
@aaronmelson2887 2 года назад
especially when the market goes down. best advice: have a good amount in savings (minimum 20k or better), paid off truck and trailer, and absolutely no debt (paid off car, cc, no student loans etc)

Love the color on that truck. Just put in an application with them and I hope I'm able to get a truck it would be great news if I can.. how do you get hired on through lanstar? How long is orientation and what do they do at orientation?
@aaronmelson2887
@aaronmelson2887 3 года назад
to get hired at landstar you just need to put in an application, pass the background check and get a truck. the process can take a minute tho. it took me 2 months to get in. orientation is 2 days. i have 2 videos on my channel that discuss what to expect with orientation. good luck to you bro.

Cool video man, I got a few questions if you don't mind, 1st the 1500 deposit, is that because you have good credit or do they just have flat rate deposits for different truck's? 2nd can you work anywhere and for anyone?
@aaronmelson2887
@aaronmelson2887 2 года назад
The deposit is based on what truck u get, i think brand new trucks require a bigger deposit. You can work for almost anyone. You'll have to tell them the name of the company u plan on leasing with and theyll tell u of its a go or not. Also they have truck shortages now so any trucks they do get might require a 5 to 10k deposit
