It's possible the underlying question maybe if there is a L/P he should consider, but this is pure assumption. Let's re-read his original post.
Actual, hypothetical, it doesn't matter.
Bottom line, just about the whole board agrees, 'absolutely not'.
I'm the lone individual who thinks it could be a way to learn a lot of the extra stuff you never learn as a company driver. Again, one should not necessarily expect to own the truck he ostensibly is trying to purchase (L/P). One should get out as soon as he knows what he is doing and believes he can acquire a truck and make a go of it. I want to add one more. DON'T GO FOR THE CHEAPEST TRUCK BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT'S THE QUICKEST WAY TO OUTRIGHT OWNERSHIP. GO INTO IT NEVER EXPECTING TO OWN THAT TRUCK- ONLY THAT YOU'LL MAKE SOME MONEY AND LEARN ABOUT TRUCK OWNERSHIP. GO FOR THE TRUCK THAT IS LEAST LIKELY TO DRAW FROM YOUR MAINTENANCE FUND. YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH MORE AT THE END IF YOU DO. Sorry Gman...now I've said my peace 8)
BTW- Great avatar, Serbie. These dogs, they have no shame :lol:
