    Lease purchase= glorified company drivers that pay for everything LOL! P. T. Barnum would love this thread.
    Enjoy that "large car" that you will never own.

    No you have to be experienced. Look on their website or give them a call

    I'm doing okay. Ain't gonna make me rich but it pays the bills and I'm getting some put away little by little so I can take the truck where I want when I got my one year in. My only complaint with them is their communication sucks. But I love my W900.

    What about the communication sucks? Just curious if its a day vs night thing or them not send info to you. Good to hear, are the miles really there then? Present company i am hitting 2500 to 3000. And can you pay an amount then and lease the truck elsewhere?

    Could you explain how their lease works. You're saying you can leave them in a year & take the truck with you running how you want to run it?
