Trans Am lease
Would love to hear from anyone who is in or who have completed the lease purchase with TransAm. My main questions are dollars net per week and hometime.

just my truck so i dont know about avg net yet.
but far as hometime you as a leasee can go home all you want but it will cost you in the end.
being lease you need to stay out more same as a o/o you have more bills to pay.

all i can say sofar havent caught any lies yet will see how it goes.

my mileage is above first trip was 800 2nd i am on now is 1500 will see what else i get to finish the week and let yall know.

Far as specs dont know what your wanting its a 09 t660 the leasee's are the same as the company driver but there turned up a bit more right now ###### mpg getting right at 6 at 65 will give it a bit and see if break in does anything with it

and yes i am posting alot tonight as i am laid over till 4am at walmart

I believe when he was asking about specs he was asking;

What type of engine?

What the horsepower rating is?

What type of transmission?

Rear end gearing?

Tire size?

Max governed speed?

Other pertinent info would be do you have an apu on the truck?

Have you installed an inverter?

How about a refrigerator or microwave?

he is only on his 2nd load so we will see how it is in a little while once they start cutting the miles because they have another sucker dooped to do a lease purchase.

They always start you off with plenty of miles because they do not want a empty new truck that they have to pay for and pay for maintnence.

Even though your profile says that you have 14 years experince that does not mean you can not fall for it.

I am sure they will turn out to be like cre.

I am sorry if you take this the wrong way not trying to degrade you just shinning some light on what always seem to happen when you do lease purchase.
