    Sounds a bit "jaded" to me honestly. Believe what you want, no harm in that. I'm set to go join the ACT crew. Is it the right choice ? only time will tell. The grass always seems greener on the other side, but sometimes you have to jump the fence and take a bite before you know for sure. I just did.
    Will I become another statistic ? Maybe .. maybe not ... It's all about what you want and what you are willing to do to get there. Just like Ripley's .... believe it, .... or not.

    I've been aquainted with BK for over five years now. He works hard, and has quite a bit of experience. I have no reason to doubt what he posts here.

    You crack me up honestly. I don't leave problems for the next driver I get them handled. My CSA score is I believe 6 and that was for a headlight that went out on my truck and I could not find a replacement (HID bulbs) and the NC Dot got me for it when he seen it marked on my DOT inspection form on my log while he was checking everybody's log as they went across the scale. Honestly I don't really care what you believe. We don't even hire out of the Communist state of California so I don't even know why you read this thread.

    I think some people are so convinced that lease purchase programs are impossible to succeed at that they doubt and call out as liars anybody like you and I who are hard working business minded people who succeed doing it.

    I've noticed that most of the people who post against lease never have been in one. Don't know anything past what they hear at the pilot. I do fine here at act. Very good company and fairest true lease purchase

    Nice man!!!! You guys are right! I myself think anyone with a healthy sense of business can succeed! Otherwise,there wouldn't be so many successful people out there doing ,now would there? I for one plan on doing it,as soon as they give me the chance. Otherwise,I'll end up regretting not at least trying it. I trust in my work ethic,that I can pull it off! What do you guys think!?

    Wow! That truck is still almost like new. Congratulations and I hope you do well and according to bk this is the best outfit around. I wonder what happened to the lessee who had that truck? Surely he couldn't have failed at such a great outfit..... What are your payments like? Wow what a rig you got yourself. Hope you get a share of that gravy mister bk gets. Lol.
