In this episode of the Grawe Pod, we are dedicating some time to place a focus on lease-purchase programs, exploring the benefits and challenges for both the independent contractors behind wheel and trucking companies providing the operating authority. Doug Grawe, the Founder and CEO of the Grawe Group, leads a comprehensive discussion on the topic that includes the legal and operational considerations for trucking organizations with lease purchase programs. Doug is joined on this episode by Greg Thompson, a podcast producer with 27 years of experience in the trucking industry that includes time working with independent contractors and lease-purchase programs

While examining some of the leading do’s and don’ts of lease-purchase programs, Doug notes the career path benefits lease purchase programs bring trucking companies, and he makes the case for third-party lease purchase program managers to help ICs succeed and ease trucking company burdens.

Doug and Greg close out this edition of the podcast by discussing some of the key takeaways from the ATA Litigation Center’s Trucking Legal Forum, which was held in Denver at the end of July. Doug served as a presenter on one of the panels at the annual event.
