want to lease purchase

Ik alot of people talk crap about western express but i looked at there lease purchase program on the Internet and it seems pretty good but i dont know anyone that has done it may wanna look into them or into prime cause i wanna do it after i get a few years experience

 

Soon this thread will be filled with people say don't lease, your an a-hole if you lease purchase, blah, blah, blah. I'm doing it with success. like you say, not getting rich nor do I intend to. FYI many, many threads on it, but they are cluttered with the don't LP posts by people who have never LP.

I will add that not all LP are the same, most are walk away, not all. Do your home work, don't jump into one just because they are offering a bright shinny truck. The truck chosen has a lot to do with success or failure (break down time), also most LP do fail, so know what your getting into, talk to there LP drivers not just the liars (ops I mean recruiters).

 

I am also a LP and meeting with success. I will caution you however to realize that you will need a completely different mindset if you are rolling survive.
1. Home time, manage it wisely. Your business must come first.
2. Manage your time and money. Do not get into the trap of running yourself out of hours. You make no money sitting at a truck stop for 34 hours.
3. Route planning and fuel stop planning are critical. That's why the big carriers do it.
4. Turn off the truck. Do not idle one second more than you have to. Ever.

These are just a couple of minimum things to think about.

Good luck and feel free to PM me with questions.
