I don't know for sure either, but I know for sure I am not willing to bet my financial future on it, save some money and buy your own truck and be a true O/O, not some money maker for a stupid mega carrier. |
the other thing that u have to consider is knowing how to keep the truck running without putting all the profits into repairs. a little knowledge in mechanics goes a long way........

People use this same logic when buying a lottery ticket. Fast fact: The odds of winning a Mega Millions Jackpot are 175,000,000 to one. The odds, as an American Male, of being Tom Cruise are only 150,000,000 to one. |

I believe most that would do a L/P would also fail if they purchased a truck outright. Little or no credit,no cash,no idea.

A US Express fellow helpled me blindside a while back and then we got to talking about
trucking and what not...he was not doing to well leasing with those guys Always having to cook his books... he gave the impression they play dirty pool But then I have yet to come across a dispatch system that didnt ... So it takes 2 to tango as they say good luck |

Here's another question to ask before doing a lease program. Why drive this truck, when you can drive a similarly equipped company truck?
Another way to approach this is to save up X dollars each week, and don't touch that until you get enough (and then some) for a decent truck. Use some to buy the truck, and use some as spare cash for repairs, PM service, tires, etc. Even if you lease, rather than purchase, always keep some savings in reserve in case the crap hits the fan (which it will). |
