lease purchase business plan
How can a Driver make a real business plan for a lease purchase program like Jb Hunts. Most companies don't just give Drivers the info you need until your hired.

There are good programs out there. Somewhere.
The reason companies don't give you the information is that if you had it you would stay away from them.
Simple and straightforward.
