Maybe, maybe not. It depends. When you lease on with a carrier, you are literally transferring the right to possession and/or use of goods or equipment (your truck) for a term in return for consideration. So they can certainly have some say in the matter, especially if you have their name and logo on the side of your truck. You don't want to do anything with the truck that would put them in a negative light, damage their reputation. But a blanket "no personal use while OOS" is an unlikely policy, since that smacks of an employer/employee relationship.is there any truth in this? Seriously do they have the right to do that?
Overheard another vanner saying the carrier doesn't allow personal use of the vehicle when not in service.... I'm no genius here but i'll be danged if somebody would tell me NO when i'm sitting at home using the ol' sprinter to go camping!!! Person was a O/Op and running with a well known !

Yeah, no, Panther doesn't have a "no personal use" policy at all. You can use your own vehicle for personal use any way you see fit. Just don't park in out in front on Nude Nudie Nudes or use it as a getaway vehicle after robbing a bank.Point made lol it was a young couple older GM van with the new and improved big cat on the side
No, and I think you've been told several times to stop doing that.
Not only would you be breaking your lease agreement, but you wouldn't have any cargo or liability insurance while hauling those machine parts.
