    I would think that it's appropriate that if anyone has any questions about Caseli's operation they need to be directed to " lime Dave_in_az" :)

    Evidently he's the one that has the real scoop according to Caseli.

    One more thing while I'm at it LOL.

    Caseli titled his thread, "L/P assumptions are amusing." Okay, I'm cool with that. There are a lot of assumptions about lease purchase plans.

    However, the very company he's leased to, Wil-Trans states right on their own website (recruiting section) the average lease operator earns (after all truck costs) $1,200 to $1,500 (gross) a week in their program.

    Wouldn't that then be a fair assumption?

    The average person reading that, who might be considering a lease purchase program, would assume they can earn $1,200 to $1,500 a week gross with the opportunity to buy the leased truck for $2,500 (according to Caseli) at the end of the lease.

    Whether or not $1,200 to $1,500 a week is worth the risk of assuming ALL liability is up to the individual to decide.

    For me it's not, however, my name isn't on his dotted line, his is.

    I have to give @Caseli a good deal of credit. He stepped into the fire and has maintained his composure. As a result, this thread is still active.

    The highlighted part of the quote played a large part in why a recent thread was closed. It's ok to have disagreements, just keep it civil and so far, this thread has done that.

    Anytime someone starts a thread saying "You can do it." The exact same cast and crew show up saying, " No you can't."

    They never quantify why, only you don't do it like me.

    It's the same thing over, and over, and over again.

    Dave, mate - you’re wrong here.

    The guy came in on a weird angle questioning known LP marketing strategies, aware that he was swimming a lot faster than the rest in the shark pool.

    I KNOW LP can work for some, but it’s a very calculated risk. Like I said, believe it or not, I’m actually unbiased.

    You’ve had a hard day, I can tell. My buddy here can give you a hug if needed.

    No I'm not wrong. I'm right on point. It's always the same.

    It's not the shark pool, it's the same bunch of miserable speak.

    Just like our one esteemed member always talks down to everyone, all knowing, all powerful rate per mile. Except a 1/3 of his posts involve his attorney. Wonder if his attorney works for free? How much of his glorious rate pays his legal fees?

    I'm sure everyone wants to use him. He has his legal aid listed on his business card right?

    The real scoop on what?

    Can I put you in a good truck yes? Yes.

    Will you make a truckload of money? If you are capable yes.

    Oh well what does that mean? That means can you run effeciently? Do you piss away your hours? Little Johnny wanna go home, or take that big money unicorn?

    In 2 or 3 years anyone should be able to pay off the truck, have the title, and be able to tell me to go F myself, without investing a penny.

    How am I supposed to know what he meant? Caseli referred to you as the one to ask.

    I figured you must know about his operation and number presentation on a personal level.
