    Even a Swift lease works if you are a good business person.
    There are several Swift L/O's that do very well.

    But that's the thing.
    You have to be able to run a company on your own, and most simply don't know how to do it.

    There are no shortcuts. You can't just jump in to a lease without first knowing what you are doing.

    If you actually sit down and run the numbers Swift's lease is actually one of the most favorable options I've seen from a per mile standpoint, not percentage.
    Break even point on fixed expenses after only 700-750 miles...I think
    Sound right, @Moosetek13? Haha

    Do the words Lease and Business belong in the same sentence?
