Why lease a truck from SFI?
1. You spend less money upfront.
Leasing a semi-truck can be a great option for an owner-operator who doesn’t have a lot of money saved up for a security deposit and/or is working to improve their credit score. SFI offers low money down and flexible credit score options, which can help you get into a truck sooner.
2. You have more financial security.
Leasing has a defined period an owner-operator can use the truck with fixed weekly payments. Plus, you’re not permanently locked down to one truck: At the end of your SFI lease, you can extend your lease, turn in your current truck for a new one or pay off the remaining balance and own the truck.
3. You have the chance to operate a brand-new truck.
Leasing a semi-truck often allows owner-operators to operate the latest truck models without the high upfront costs that come with buying one. A new truck can lead to savings for your business because it’s usually more fuel efficient and has fewer unexpected maintenance problems.
SFI has brand-new 2025 Freightliners available to lease, spec’d with fuel-saving features, advanced safety technology and interior comforts.
Why buy a used truck from Schneider?
1. You build equity over time.
Each time you make a payment on the truck you purchased, you build equity. Once your payments are complete, you own the truck outright. You can continue to drive the truck payment-free or use the equity to trade it in for a newer truck.
Plus, you can likely take a tax write-off for the depreciation of your truck. You can also likely deduct interest paid on loans for your equipment.
2. You may save more money in the long run.
While the initial investment of buying a semi-truck may be higher than leasing one, it can be more cost-effective in the long run. That's because you’ll have smaller monthly payments compared to someone who leases a truck, which will save you money over time.
Companies, like Schneider, will work to help you get the best deal possible.
3. You can customize your truck.
When you buy a semi-truck, you have full ownership and control over the vehicle. This means you can customize and modify the truck however you want, without any restrictions.
