    Ive been looking at a lot of lease option...and found that their are company's yes their are more than one that do this.. that don't even advertise their lease.... you can lease a 2014/2015 with about 300,000 for 350 week fix cost is about 225. maint .06 mile term is 24 months...this is a lease. NOT lease purchase ...it is NOT a walk away lease...if u turn the truck in you will be making the payment till they lease it again... you must put a 1000 down payment...pay is 1.00 mi all dispatched miles practical ....You must drive as a company driver 6 month before you can lease... GOOD OR BAD? whats your opinion?

    So fuel is 35cpm, driver pay is 50cpm. So 15cpm is left for repairs? Where is the profit money?

    Where is the financial incentive over a company driver making 45-50 cpm.......? Or are we comparing 32cpm as a company driver ?

    Isn't this the case in a straight loan purchase as well????....this argument escapes me....unless you pay it off at purchase, by the time your done paying it will have a lot of miles.....unless you plan on trading it every 3 years like a mega(in which case a lease is better) then....what's the point?????

    Still, better off finding a % lease....or not,!who knows.....there's more than one way to get a truck ....

    Good luck!

    Lets keep it simple all places that pay $1 or a mile or less plus FSC SUCK and should be avoided.
