    stay away from cure!!!!!!!! They will not back you up on warranty issues,and they lord over your maintainance money...also faf is good but their t.q.i division sucks and so does the guy running it....i have first hand experience....the cure trucks are underpowered and geared wrong...the fuel mileage sucks on loads over 30000# expect to get 5.5 to 6.0 running 65..

    I am a lease purchase driver at faf. There is money to be made here. However if u have any bills other than ur truck u would be really tight. A lease purchase at any company is almost impossible to do successfully in my opinion. But if ur truck is ur only bill and dont have a family to support u should be fine. I love faf. I had 4290 miles last week alone. I wish u the best in ur decision. I have talked to numerous drivers b4 I made my choice and many have made it work here at faf.

    Stay away from TQI Division you will starve, it is not designed for owner ops, the couple pennies per mile extra is not worth all the headaches and micromanagement. The average miles are under 200 a week, and if you have truck payments you know you need at least 2500 to bo profitable

    4,270 / 7 = 600 miles a day at 55 mph, thats 10.90 hours driving time. At 70 mph that's 8.5 hours drive time.

    Skeptical stuff for sure, for no traffic, turns, that doesn't leave much left to log for pre/post, fuel, delivery, pick up, etc. It's possible, but my guess you drop and hook.
