    I just call it as I see it. Many call it a flaw but many like it to. I'm sorry but if some guy comes around and says "i've got a good job but wanted to truck since I was a kid, should I buy a truck and put a driver in it?" then I'm gona tell him.... Actually i get so sick of that question I tend to just stay away from it and a few others now. Just like the "just because you 25million people had bad experiences with swift desn't mean I will" AGHHHHH!!!! I wanna pull my hair out sometimes. they ask for your help but then don't want to hear it.
    90% of lease purchase deal end very very badly... that's the fact. Search for the threads that ask for people GOOD experiences with them, you will see almost no responses, or very few. then look at the threads about bad deals and there is tons of them.. That's all anyone should need
     
    L.B. and panhandlepat Thank this.

    we got groupies now??:biggrin_2554: why the heck can't they be hot chicks????
    i get what you are saying though. i have gained an IMENCE (OK i know i didn't spell that right) amount of knowledge from here in my 2+ years reading and driving. some of it you retain and TRY to pass on. not ALL info we get IS based on personal knowledge. we get help from forum and friends.
    i knew a hell of a lot more about this industry from reading this forum than MOST of the guys i went to "school" with. because of this place.
    i think any SMART person would look to the right,top corner and realize that a poster IS NOT a truck driver and take it FWIW

    You are right, at least 90%, or possibly more, fleece purchase deals end bad. But correct me if I am wrong, KH is not saying he knows crap about these different companies, he is just gathering info and putting in a central location to make it easier for someone to find the info. Isn't that what this site is all about....INFO?

    He has made judgment comments on leases and what a driver should and shouldn't do.

    Until he has driven, he really has no clue what a driver should or should not do.

    it is no different than a FLEECE on a car. ALL the depreciation/financial burden gets put ON YOU.
    i have read enough threads on here in the last 3 years to KNOW there aren't any good "lease" deals with ANY Co.
