If you lease a truck you pay for maintenance as a general rule. Most (guessing here) lease operators also have a factory warranty so only have to pay for normal wear items like tires and brakes. Company drivers pay for nothing related to the truck unless they’re really, really gullible and are working for some super shady outfit. The upside is if you lease a truck you keep most of money from the freight fees and if there’s a warranty your cost are not too outrageous.
