    You said straight up facts, my friend. The way the OP worded that post, "On not looking for negative answers (I can read them in the other threads) just looking for ideas, companies to look into, and positive lease purchases." That tells me he's looking for only what he wants to hear as opposed to the good, bad, and ugly.

    That said, OP, do you have money? Lots of it? If you don't, stay a company driver until further notice. The ones that fail never stacked money. They try to make the most doing the minimum. Some people can do that. Most cannot. You have understand where the money is, operating costs, cheap fuel, and most of all, you better save every penny. If you don't put back, you won't last long.

    Best lease option out there I think would be Anderson. Flat bed and move your way up. There’s a guy running a thread right now over there. Not bad I would say for a lease guy. I don’t think you’ll ever own the truck but I do think that you could save enough to eventually buy your own with time.

    I’ve looked into it and I just can’t do it. I mean, I’ve looked around for sure and nothing seems good at all for the driver. Except like I said Anderson. Good luck, and you really should get defensive with criticism. It is was it is. Stay safe

    Quality have a lease deal that you can take to just about anywhere you want to go, but 5000 is what I believe the down is, if you have 2 years otr you can run just about anywhere, landstar is a good one mercer is also good, great wide is also good, all of the 3 I list have power only with the king Walmart and Amazon, they would be the top 3 power , if you looking to get buy on let's say 1800 a week running long miles dart is not a bad out fit, no money down, I must tell you this,dart check your credit, and not everyone will get one there truck, ats is a joke I look at them and laugh at them, two of my friends run and leave there truck, T the truck stop I don't agree with that, but you can do better than that, dart also have walmart account a also, if you are looking to test it out try dart, as I say the is just ok, good luck driver, ps I get were you are coming from when you ask for on opinion, don't let the lease haters get you down, I think it's better to ask than look stupid, some of there is definitely true, but one should be able to ask questions with out been shoot at,
