    Steve Russell sold his stock,resigned,and I believe hes running Eagle..probably couldnt take the corp bs anymore.
    Quality is cutting everything..except for acquisitions.

    This is just my view. But if you can afford the truck payment and make a profit and you didn't put any money down why not buy it? its no money down so they are doing you a favor and with all favors you have to give a little to get a little. so with a company taking the chance of basically giving you a truck that you could tear up the reward for them (you paying double) has to be beneficial which is you being taxed.

    My opinion about leasing is like buying a truck. It is an assumed risk. Management of expenses is key.Eating out every meal and fuel mismanagement will bury you. Who you lease your truck on to plays a role, but mismanagement and poor decisions causes failure, this is universal no matter what business venture you undertake. Just common sense.

    Totally agree... Next step, reprogram ecm (with idle time im avg 4.7mpg) then install an apu... As I have in-transit heat on some of these loads I HAVE to idle my main engine tho

    They are a joke,but for zero down what do you expect, make sure it's a good running truck if older and bring it it befor your 30 days is up cause then your screwed.
    I've leased 2 threw them not happy with their crap 1 new 2016 lonestar 1 kw
    Both are and we're crap,
    You want a good lease go schneider,
    Good pay trucks yours in 3 yrs,and you'll make money.
