2007 Volvo 780 Tractors Now Available in Hill Bros. Lease Purchase Program

Omaha, Nebraska — For the first time, drivers at Hill Bros. Transportation can choose to lease a brand-new Volvo tractor. To increase tractor selection for drivers in their lease purchase program as well as company drivers, Hill Bros. recently ordered fifty 2007 Volvo 780 tractors in addition to the 2007 Kenworth T-600 and Peterbilt 387 models (and pre-owned trucks) already available in the program.

“The Volvo’s aerodynamic build makes it very fuel efficient,” said Abbie Reed, Owner Operator Program Administrator. “That’s why it appeals to so many drivers, and why we wanted them to have the opportunity to lease one.” The 2007 Volvo tractor is equipped with a 535 horsepower, 13-speed D-16 engine. It features a roomy, 81” Neo-classic sleeper, including a refrigerator and foldable workstation; a 236” wheelbase; and a 3:42 Meritor rear end.

Payments on these new Volvo tractors average $441 to $468 a week throughout the four-year lease. The $2,500 security deposit is fully refundable at the end of the lease term. To qualify for the lease purchase program, a driver must first work at Hill Bros. as a company driver for 45 to 90 days. To join Hill Bros., contact a recruiter at 877-665-3141.

Just FYI, if you goto orientation for this company and they decide 2 days into orientation for whatever reason to not hire you, they will only offer you a bus ride back to your point of origin. You would do yourself a service if you force them to pull your DAC and get all release of information back BEFORE you go out there. Can not really say anything else. This was an unpleasant experience and ended up costing me over 200 dollars out of my own pocket and 4 days of my time to be disrespected like that. I do not know how the company is beyond that, but situations like that speak volumes. Also, the lease purchase is very expensive. The buy outs on the trucks for used are twice the cost of a regular used truck and three times or more for a new truck. You would be better off looking at leasing a truck from Frieghtliner. Frieghtliner offers a first time buyers lease that gets you up and rolling. Check it out. I am going that route. Take care and be safe out there.
