Lease Purchase
Now before everybody tells me not to do it(because I am not). ALL that I want to know. Is there a L/P deal in the whole wide world that you guys would sign up for?

It is JUST a question. If you look in any trucking magazine almost everybody offers a L/P. Does this mean that all of them are no good? There isn't one that somebody could succeed with?

Jumbo...they all offer it cuz the company makes money, its a crap shot whether you will, but either way sure the companies are all over the magazine offering it cuz THEY make their money.
You know I can buy gambling casino magazines too (full of casinos who like the trucking companies say I will make $), do some gamblers make big $, am sure they do, IMO same crap shoot either way. |
I would but sometimes it seems I just like to argue.
I know of one lease purchase that can do these things for you: - get you started when you don't already have the money yourself - provide you with a lot of support. You've get help with: *to acquire a tractor *how and where to do routine maintenance on a tractor *how and where to get repairs done *registering, permitting, insuring... *small business paper work- receipts, estimated taxes... *get freight and or dispatches You can be a company driver forever and never learn this stuff. If you are exceptional like ol' Steveo (seriously Steve, not everyone can do what you do) you don't need to lease purchase. Personally, I think going this route can get you started as an owner operator. Most guys who lease purchase will never own the truck even though that's supposed to be the big promise. I lease purchased for four months and later bought a truck and signed on with Landstar. I would recommend my former outfit, Perkins Specialized Transportation. I would also recommend you get out of lease purchase as soon as you know what you are doing and can finance your own truck. Lease purchasing is wwwwaaaaayyyyy too much like being a company driver ( :lol: company drivers aren't allowed to look at this forum, are they?) Your dispatcher tells you when you'll drive, where you'll drive, how long you'll drive... Once you can get your own truck and you know where to get PMs done and you've got your paperwork filing systems going and you can out run your wife, your mechanic, the tax man, the finance company... say 'thank you very much and goodbye' to your lease purchase. If he's still around, I'll let- who was that character with the pirate avatar who always used to talk about getting your own authority- I'll let one of the others speak about 'real trucking' since I'm still just a leased on Nancy boy 8) |
Am sure you forgot 1 Cam....let me see....oh yeah!
* When to $hit n where, and a nice friendly reminder to remember to wipe your a$$ LOL |
