    Run as fast as can to Landstar,assuming you can qualify. If you can qualify,doors will open and you will be so much happier.

    600 a week....holy crap...24-2500 a month. Wow you can buy your own truck and trailer cheaper then that and run your own authority.

    Why would you lease a 180,000 tractor? You can put 3-5k down get payments of 1200-1500 a month and be done with the title in hand in 36-42 months. What are your plans when that shiny new tractor turns out to be a maintenance nightmare? Wait,your going to have a warranty right. That wont feed your family or pay your truck note for the weeks you could end up down. Only trying to save you alot of trouble in the future. Take some time catch your breath and plan this thing out a little better.

    Dont think you are going to get a 2014 truck much cheaper than that with only 3 k down

    Plenty of fine running 08-09's out there,a guy could do a little homework to weed out the nightmares and end up with a reliable near new money maker.
