Well I knew it was bound to happen someday. In a news release reported in our regional rag, USA Truck will soon offer a new lease purchase program to drivers employed by the company. According to the release, drivers who qualify can purchase tractors directly from USA Truck or an outside source by using a third-party financing partner.
Mike Weindel, company VP or human resources, recruiting and training said the new program will "Help them successfully transition from company drivers to small business operators. The company benefits by retaining elite drivers who might otherwise leave the company to become owner-operators elsewhere, and it affords us another avenue to grow our revenue with minimal capital deployed."
In the famous words of The Church Lady of Saturday Night Live, now isn't that special! :lol:
