Weigh the rewards, such as they are, against the amount of time and effort you'll be putting in.
If you like driving and have a decent job you're already way ahead of the game.
There's a lot of freedom to rolling up the window, slamming the door, and just walking away from that truck at the end of the day with all the regulatory and maintenance issues taken care of by somebody else.blairandgretchen, 650cat425, rachi and 4 others Thank this. -
Don't do it. After reading your post, I don't think you'll be happy with all the extra time and responsibility that comes with it for about the same as a company guy who gets to walk away and literally forget about it on his time off.

If things get slow or your truck sits in a shop you still gotta make that weekly lease payment. And like others have said, you have to pay for tires and repairs. Less home time too cause you gotta be out there chasing the miles. I leased for two years and then switched over to company driver.
