    Heard this one on the radio this week. Maybe others of you did too.

    JB has found a new cash cow. Selling trucks.

    Zero down puts you in a late model Freightliner at 1.9%. They claim payments as low as $250, and a truck that you own in just 3 years.

    You can even lease on with them.....:biggrin_2552:

    Is this about them downsizing?

    Otherwise sounds like a good deal.

    You buy your personal car/truck at those "You work, You ride" stores too?

    I read it to mean you "could" lease on to them. I wouldn't.

    For buying a truck though, 0 down, even $250 a week is a great deal.

    Weekly. It's lower than most. But the question about miles you'll get per week, remains a mystery.

    Agreed. But I suspect the terms will not be as pleasant for the guy/gal who wants to take that truck somewhere else.

    The commercial "implied" you had that option. It didn't come out and say you could or could not, take it to another carrier.

    The Down payments are what holds everyone back. Truck payments make themselves (ideally). Shoot I'd grab 10 of those and put them to work if it was a real deal.
