    I think I'm just going to find me a rich girl friend and retire, it's a lot simpler with benefits and less head aches.

    I think the big lesson here is to not post any mistakes or human frailties you may have on here. The Monday morning quarterbacks lie in wait like a hungry cheetah waiting on an unsuspecting antelope to come along.

    I wonder how many of the self appointed critics have lived their lives error free. Perhaps paying years of child support for a really dumb mistake. Maybe a few have bought a house with an ARM and are shocked that their payment has doubled. Maybe they sit in front of a $600 big screen TV from Aarons that they are paying $99 per month on for 24 months. A bet some of these guys are on their second or third marriage, thinking they will get it right this time.

    I believe in karma too much to kick a man while he's down.

    Why do people start leases with $0 in their pockets to start?? That's not the way it works in any other business.

    Very well said, and a good point. None of us are infallible. I hope that a few noobs are reading this thread and learning a few things.
    1) Pay a Lawyer to help read the contract. If you cant even afford a $500 Lawyer then you really cant afford a truck.
    2) Note EVERY little scratch or ding on the truck, amount of tread on the tires, brake lining, etc...
    3) Have AT LEAST $10K set aside for emergencies YOU WILL NEED IT!

    Ask questions, most people will give advice. My advice is, ask people who have failed at leasing a truck what made them fail. I have learned more about business listening to what went wrong than how to do everything right.

    Why does the underdog always get bashed ? You did what you had to do to survive ! There is no shame in a man looking out for his #1 priority , his family ! Things do happen though , best type of lease is with a payment with a dollar end lease buyout. Never had to deal with Prime personally , but see them all over the place . Things will get better for you eventually , keep your head up high man and keep going forward!

    I took a job today flying a Sky Crane for aerial fire fighting so I'm going to retire from the trucking business at least for now. I appreciate everyone's input and wish you all the best of luck. Don't sign any leases. Lol Thanks

    Good deal, man. I'd rather fly a plane than drive a stupid truck any day. I imagine that's a right handy skill to have.

    500 HP has a big effect on the DECISION making process as well for many
