    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.

    It doesn't necessarily have to be Jb hunt give landstar a call they'll let you access there load board so you can estimate your costs and as long as you know your fixed costs you can guess the rest good luck

    That's probably because "most" L/P plans are geared toward the company, not the driver.

    Should probably stay away from doing any business if you don't understand taxes.

    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.
