Sounds like alot of large transportation companies are going to forced lease purchase programs to be able to compete...the latest being JB Hunt, yes, they don't tell you this till after your probationary period and training is over folks...so I have heard...I would never drive for them. I work for a company that will not go O/O, it had an O/O fleet at one time due to an acquisition but quickly sold it to save money. Company driver all the way here folks...with this economy it's the only shakey sure thing...I say shakey because now a days nothing is a sure thing, except death and taxes...but that's another story.
