    Don't lease from PTL no loads are worth the stress cause no income being made. I did it for three weeks and not one paycheck from them. They say the northeast pays more which is a lie. The recruiters lie to you also just to get you there. There's no way u gonna make it on 3 to 4 loads a week. Get a load on a Friday for a 350 to 600 miles that don't deliver til Monday. I was under a dispatched load and was taken out of service cause I asked to be routed to Murray KY so there for they punished me by putting me outta service not to be able to get a load. If u can live off of a double digit check like 43.00 then it might be for u if not don't do it. I just left them 2 wks ago. My buddy made the 43.00 dollars. I was on the road not even once did I go home so font listen to these drivers say you gotta run to make it I'm a runner so I ran away from PTL now I'm with another company making a check after 5 wks of being broke due to the PTL and their dispatchers who gives loads of nothing.

    I'm inclined to agree with snowlauncher.

    These lease "deals" exist solely for the benefit of the company.

    Youre an idiot thinking you'd be making big bucks leasing from company. Not a single company is interested in making you rich

    hes not an idiot just misinformed no thanks to the recruiters.I do however think drivers should be a company driver for a yr with the company before taking the plunge.

    I would agree. And PLEASE, do your homework before you sign on the dotted line. There are too many horror stories out there that say "DON'T LEASE! If even half of them are true, that should tell you something.

    If he was leasing the truck from Cure Leasing then he was doomed from the start! Been there done that with Forward Air not a fan!
