    loaded miles 1.28, empty miles 1.05 insurance $7000 a year. wide loads and over heights pay more. pick and drops will be paid. as well as tarping. I hear only good things about them, only 4-5 years is a long time.

    LAIDLAW ( also now part of CONTRANS ) had a lease to own deal on FREIGHTLINERS back in the late 80's , same deal no $ down ecte ecte.

    Lot of guys lost more than the truck they thought they were going to own.

    TRI LINE is sort of a LAIDLAW west version , flatbed , bulk tank, same paint scheme now as well

    Who remembers the "Cabbage Patch" trucks that Tri-Line had back in the 80's? International 9670 Cabovers>same scheme back then, the never/never fleece purchase sharecropper plan.

    You are better of to go to tri line with your own truck. That way, you have the ability to leave if things don't work, rather than being tied to the lease for 4 to 5 years. Leases work for the carrier, not the driver.

    Ya The five years makes me feel sick inside. I'm not going that route. Other than that I have nothing negative about the deal

    If you want to go for 1, 2 or 3 years. just go to PacLease and away you go. They will even plate it across Nortth America and do full maintenance on it including tires etc.

    Hmmm I thought I answered you. I'm sorry. I was going to drive for him. We were supposed to get together for coffee and set it up then when I called him he said. "I waited for you at the hotel and you never showed" I told him he should have told me that's what he had in mind. LOL Crazy old fart!. So tomorrow I have a meet with Steelhorse and him. Highest bidder takes it. Ol' Cameron is getting really busy. I'd still like to go with him, but he'll have to get on the ball
