    The only people that have horror stories about leasing their truck are those that did not do their homework and read the contract front back and sideways before purchasing. Buying into a business is very much like buying into a house, you need to put aside emotions for a moment and analyze things as logically as possible.

    If you didn't read your contract, then I hope you don't get screwed. But if you did read it and understand every point of it, well then I have high hopes that you will go far! (pun intended) ;D

    I like my splash guards!

    HeHe

    Agreed! Like I always say, "Do what you love, love what you do"

    The failures are 97% the fault of the driver who signed up and:


    • Took too much home time
    • Thought all those large paychecks were his to spend with no regard to taxes
    • Drives to the speed limiter 100% of the time with no regard that less fuel consumption = more $$ in the pocket
    • Was a lazy company driver and continues to be a lazy lease operator
    • Has major control freak and anger issues and his DM's rarely call or answer messages thereby affecting said L/O's productivity.

    Maybe it did not turn out right for you, but did you know when you made the decision it was not going to turn out well ahead of time? You made a decision as it was what you thought you wanted to do. If you know with certainty the repercussions in making a decision will be bad before you do something, then logic dictates you should and would not do it. Stating that, a person cannot base their decision on what may happen, or none of us would ever make a decision on possible life changing situations. Reward takes risk. I admit I think Scottie is biting off more than I would want to at his level of experience, but he is not I, and I not him. I wish he does well. His child will need new pj's to match his antlers.

    Congrats and good luck.....I am anxious to hear about how this plays out. The good thing about you Scottie is you seem to tell it the way you understand it. Sometimes I do things without fully understanding what I am doing....good thing about that is I haven't accepted failure...because there is no failure in my belief in the outcome. make it happen Bro!

    Redd, if I hadn't met both you and DickJones in person, I'd swear its just one guy using two user IDs.
