Whether you’re starting out as a trucker or you run an established business and need to add more vehicles to your fleet, leasing a truck can be a good way to meet your goals. But if you can get a full-service lease, it could give you greater peace of mind because you’ll be able to receive valuable support for the repair and maintenance of the vehicle. 

Keep reading to learn a bit about the perks that come with leasing a truck, and to gain insight into why Peterbilt’s full-service lease can be a wise choice.

What Are the Benefits of Leasing a Truck?

There are benefits and drawbacks associated with buying or leasing a truck, so weighing the pros and cons is important. 

Leasing a truck might work for you if you don’t have the funds to buy it in cash or finance it, or if you want to be able to upgrade your vehicle more easily on a regular basis. For many truckers of all experience levels, leasing could be a strategic way to save money while still being able to take advantage of the latest features in the newest models on the market.  

Selecting the right lease agreement is key if you want to get the most savings and the best service. Carefully reading the details and asking about maintenance and assistance can help you make the most cost-effective choice.

How Much Does It Cost to Lease a Semi Truck?

The cost of leasing a semi truck will be based on various factors. Generally, however, the cost might be around $800 to over $1,000 monthly if you go with a used semi. If you prefer leasing a new truck, your monthly payment might be upwards of $2,500 per month, but more affordable options under $2,000 per month may also be available.

What Is a Full Maintenance Lease?

Full-service truck leasing companies are worth considering if you want to reap the benefits of leasing a semi while also getting as much out of your lease agreement as possible.  

Put simply, a full-service lease (or full maintenance lease) can help cover the maintenance of your truck. It might also include things like roadside assistance and rentals if your truck needs to be serviced for an extended period of time. All of this can allow you to focus more on doing business and making money.   

Just keep in mind that not all full-service leases will provide the same range of services. That’s why it’s important to shop smart, find the most reputable sellers, and compare lease offers based on costs, benefits, and restrictions.
