look at dart trucking, i`ve actually met people happy with their deal, their mileage pay isn`t all that great still but their getting their fuel for half of what the rest of us are so it looks a little better, I believe they also have a program were your purchasing the truck not leasing it and the rate was pretty good.

If those ads were really true, and if these deals were all that great, these people would be talking our heads off in the truck stops. You would not be able to shut them up. Most won't admit that they were so foolish as to get involved in one of these fleece purchase deals. :wink:

If these programs are so good why are they on their THIRD truck. Wouldn't they own the first two already? Once they owned a truck woundn't they be able to trade that one in when they wanted another?

I see several possibilities.

1) They failed on the first two attempts and are stupidly trying for the third time.
2) They ended up making the final lease payment on the first two and couldn't make the final lump sum payment.
3) They finished the lease and had a worthless 6.9 year old truck with 999,000 miles worth $10,000 and a final buy out payment of $15,000. Their company only accepts trucks newer than 7 years so it isn't worth buying.
4) The truck broke down due to insufficient maintaince and they abandoned the lease since it would cost more to fix than they have.
5) Recruiting propaganda is just lies anyway.

Are you serious? Is that a measure of success;-"being able to pay the truck off"? :shock:
It most certainly a step, but what it has to do, with being successful? :roll:

i just assumed when companies say you will be successful that means you will make money while paying your truck off. i was sayin that the guy im talking about who has paid off 3 trucks in a lease purchase deal obviously has been successful because he has paid off 3 trucks..i dont think he would be just barely getting by if he wasnt successful...

All im saying is most drivers get on here and will bash anyone who thinks about a lease purchase...but not all companies are like prime and cr england when it comes to the whole lease purchase deal

Marcel there are always people who think they will be different and prove to us naysayers we are wrong.
I am a happy o/o with 28 years as an o/o.

Read my posts slowly.
You must have read them too fast if you still think its a workable deal.


If all a person wants to do is prove they can pay off a truck
It can definately be done as a lease purchase.


The rest of us will be raising a family, buying a house, furnishing the house, buy shrubs at Home Depot, owning a couple of cars, full package cable TV, and sending kids to college.


L/P has been the joke of the industry since I started in 78 when Midwest Emery was doing it.
