Do you really want to be in the transportation business?
Commercial truck ownership is getting more challenging and costly to manage every day. For most well-run businesses, truck leasing is a superior financial and operational alternative because your cash flow improves, your truck uptime improves, and your transportation costs are more consistent.
 
A Better Alternative to Truck Ownership!
With an Idealease Full Service Lease, you get industry-leading commercial vehicles that are backed by superior maintenance and services like 24/7 Roadside Assistance. We offer a variety of new International® Trucks including sleepers, day cabs, flat beds, box trucks, and more. We also offer Class 4-5 Hino trucks. Our professional vehicle maintenance improves vehicle uptime at a fixed and guaranteed monthly cost.
 
Need to own your own truck for tax reasons? Try Full Service Equity Lease (FSEL)
If you need to own your own trucks for tax reasons or truck application, our Full Service Equity Lease (FSEL) is a great option. With our Full Service Equity Lease, you retain vehicle ownership and benefit from IRS accelerated tax depreciation rules (in the U.S.). Plus, you get fixed and guaranteed monthly maintenance costs on all Predictable Maintenance parts and labor, comprehensive Preventive Maintenance support, and Priority Service at more than 430 Idealease locations.
 
If you own your own commercial vehicles and want to improve your balance sheet and vehicle uptime, consider an Ownership Transition program. It can help you release the cash that is sitting in your truck fleet and improve your service to your customers. We will develop an ownership buyout offer for your truck fleet that includes: a full service lease for a term that’s consistent with your usage and that meets your EBITA or ROA needs; a maintenance plan that will improve vehicle uptime; a rated residual value that we guarantee; and a replacement schedule that will improve driver morale and retention. A typical private fleet in ownership has 20% to 30% more vehicles than needed. With a full service lease, your vehicles are well maintained, allowing you to significantly reduce the number of trucks you operate. Cut your operating costs and keep your promises to your customers with a full service lease.

Is downtime for vehicle service and repairs impacting the service you provide to your customers?
With Idealease Mobile Service you can schedule preventive maintenance when your vehicles are not operating— during off hours or on weekends—at your location.
 
Our highly trained and skilled Mobile Service technicians can perform commercial truck maintenance at your location including:

• Scheduled PM’s
• Minor repairs found at the time of PM
• DVIR write-ups (vehicle inspections)

 
Improve vehicle uptime, reduce fuel costs and driver downtime for your fleet of five or more commercial trucks with cost-effective, convenient Mobile Service.
 
 
Key Benefits

• Convenience – Schedule PM service where and when you need it. No shuttling drivers and less disruption to your business.
• Service expertise – Professionally trained Idealease technicians perform your PM service
• Efficiency – Preventive maintenance and minor repairs found at time of PM are performed on site when trucks are naturally idle
• Reduced costs – save time and money not moving trucks to and from service locations
• Driver productivity – optimize drivers’ available hours of service
• Environmental responsibility - No-spill oil change system, green oil evacuation
• Increased uptime - Even better service for YOUR customers

 
* Mobile Service does not eliminate the need for trucks to come to the shop for major repairs, repairs requiring equipment and tools located at the shop, or repairs needed between PMs that do not down the truck for DOT out-of-service violations. When our Mobile Service truck is not scheduled for customers’ PM services, it can be used to provide emergency breakdown service.
