    Does anyone know if Marten has lease purchase? I'd like to buy my own truck but have a morgage and child support...not going to happen by bank loan. Plus if anyone really does have the scoop on Marten i'd like to hear....not that disgruntled, be done wrong...w/o looking in the mirror kinda crap....thanks....jabbs

    If your serious I would go with John Christner "JCT" over Marten a far as a lease purchase situation.

    Don't lease. If you want something like that, get your own truck and trailer. Book your own loads. Pull nothing less than $2 a mile and you make it just fine. Buy a good truck and a good trailer. When buying a truck of your own, look for reliability, miles, and the shape it's in. Don't look for the good looking trucks (yes having a nice truck is nice to have) but I'd rather have a decent looking dependable truck than a good looking unreliable truck.

    He said he couldn't get his own. Now JCT ripped me off completely, and wanted me to get into another truck, I walked away. The company I am with now (Holland Enterprises) has a bunch of successful lease payed off O/O, I will be doing it here. Be very careful!!!

    Personally, I feel if a person has no money saved, or is unable to purchase a truck by conventional methods, then they shouldn't be leasing a truck.

    you dont know my situation...all i asked for was the truth...i have the money to buy a truck out right but why be broke? plus i have a military pension. but especially with that welfare monger in the white house...if you guys couldnt help just say you didnt know.. its remarks like this, is why most of us dont even listen to the CB anymore... cant get an answer to a question asked... just slammms...oh brother... guess i'll ask some of their drivers. my mistake for asking....

    thanks, appreciated.. going to call missy in their recruiting department today....just finished my childsupport and Have to leave Navajo...what a bunch of tight fisted jerks....by far the worst company ive ever worked for...here at Navajo, you need to cut the pockets out of your pants...these people always have their hands in them....taking your cash, at least i could get a handjob while getting robbed... FYI to anyone wanting to go to NAVAJO..... dont...if you do run it like youre a owner op. plus they want too much from the driver on what they are willing to pay....
