Thanks for the input. Yeah my recruiter from Swift is out of Phoenix and she was saying that after my cdl class I go over the road with my mentor for 4-6 weeks and after that I would need to decide if I want to do a lease when I go solo. I appreciate the firsthand experiences instead of just a straight bashing.

I talked to a couple of people around me who have successfully leased trucks but only from companies where they could lease the truck on with other carriers like Landstar. The lease option isnt something im even considering. I would be more apt to buying a good used truck outright, and then signing it on with a carrier. At least then either no payments, or lower payments via a financing option. Im still a few years away from even considering taking the jump into a purchase.
To the OP, it sucks that you fell for the Swift fleece. I think you wouldve been far better off just doing as others suggested. -
Well I turned in my truck to swift on Friday and now my hunt begins.

What 1 month? I do around 11k-13k monthly.. They should make it a year requirement so maybe drivers have a little more of an idea of what there about to do... But what do I know!
