THE MONEY

Gross is a headline.
Net is the truth.

Plenty of lease programs advertise the number that hits the truck and let you find out about the rest later. Here are both numbers, in the right order.

  • Line haul to you70%
  • Fuel surcharge to you86%
  • Accessorials β€” detention, stop-off70%
Contract Freight: Strong customer base, steady miles
+$6,500

Average completion bonus at 12 months - $0.04 per mile on every odometer mile you turn. Take it as cash, or put it down on a lease purchase.

with wel

From fuel discounts to loaner trucks, we’ve built our straight lease program for your success.

  • Reefer fuel on every load
  • $0.85 per gallon fuel discount at the pump

You Carry

  • Tractor fuel - after the $0.85/gal discount
  • Weekly truck payment - $650 to $950, set by model year
  • Maintenance - a fixed $0.16 to $0.25 per mile, by model year
  • Accidents, abuse, missed service intervals, windshields - not covered
  • Deadhead and bobtail insurance - available through WEL
  • Occupational accident and physical damage insurance - through WEL
  • Health coverage - optional UTBA group plan, deducted from settlement
THE TERM

Twelve months Lease.
Then you choose.

This is a straight lease, not a lease purchase. You're not signing up for a five-year balloon payment on a truck you may never own.

At month twelve you collect the completion bonus. Put it down on a lease purchase and start building equity, or sign another twelve and keep running. Your call, either way.

And you're running a Peterbilt built somewhere between 2021 and 2026 β€” not whatever was left on the back lot.
