    You have an original thought or are you just regurgitating ...

    Wow.

    7 posts and you have been a member since 2011?
    Where have you been all this time?

    I have a lot to say good about Swift, after 8 years with them.
    Not much good about the lease program, however. I am still a company driver for a good reason.

    Oh ... I know why. And it's not what the TTR cannon is ... As far as your driver stuck for 4 weeks ... Well, that has nothing to do with the lease and everything to do with an idiot who hasn't a clue how to manage a business.

    Maybe some reading comprehension help is needed , perhaps.
    Why DO YOU THINK companies want more lease purchases ?

    I drove for Swift several times. Nothing bad to say about them. But I knew what they were and knew what to expect. That’s the key. Know yourself first.

    By virtue of the fact that this driver asked the question, says he's unprepared to manage a business ... Doesn't matter if he leases with Swift, anyone else or his uncle dies and wills him a free truck ... Plain pure luck is the only thing that will keep him from failing.

    And businesses lease trucks for the same reason that a business does anything ... It's more profitable. But it's the how. And it's not what you or any of the other TTR clones think it is ... Here's a clue, if you actually run all the numbers the cost of a lease truck is about a break even with a company truck and may actually cost the company more to run on a per mile basis.
