    Got ya! It would be different on a new truck as you would have much more to depreciate.
    Thanks!

    Well Ive hit a road bump with Maverick. All I'll say is its a relatively (in perspective) small issue. Im not sure yet if I will pursue it further or let it go. Its a disagreement over a contractual issue,that wasnt an issue until recently. I believe law AND the contract is on my side but a certain individual disagrees ("You can twist this however you want..."). Ive been made to feel that if I fail to toe the line as this person sees it that my job/lease is in jeopardy. Therefore since its a small issue Im not sure if I wish to go further or not.

    Those are always tough ones to deal with!

    Yeah still here at least for the short term lol. I believe you must be here 6mos then have the recommendation of your fleet manager when you wish to switch.

    You had me interested up to this point. Sounds like a personality conflict with your FM could be very costly. If someone gives 6 months to the company for the purpose of qualifying for the lease, it seems like they'd have some more specific guidelines than that.
