Owner-operator lease-on or lease-to-buy Kent, WA
Lease-on vs. lease-purchase: what’s the difference for owner-operators?
On a lease-on, you already own your tractor and run it under a carrier’s authority. On a lease-purchase, you’re paying toward a truck. At Thind Transport (Kent, WA), lease-on drivers keep 90% of gross plus 100% of the fuel surcharge with no forced dispatch. Lease-to-buy is also available. Call (206) 765-6300 for the numbers.
