    All lease purchase programs are designed to profit the Company, not the Contractor! Very simple, don’t do It! Buy your own truck you are a true Owner Operator! Lease Purchase you are a glorified Company driver that has a dispatcher telling you where to go. Very simple, People get into these Leases so they can pick their own badas* big shiny rig and then suffer to pay bills at home, I guess the ones the do okay don’t have a house or bills besides their cell phone

    Let people do their own decisions. Sometimes things that don't work for your work for somebody us. Do your busines.

    If I listened to all the people who scream don't lease than I'd probably still be a company driver struggling to pay bills instead of now being an independent owner OP and financially stable.

    If you were struggling to pay your bills as a company driver you either had a really crappie job and maybe should have got a better paying job or you weren’t very good at being financially responsible with your income to debt ratio.Which if you think a LP is a way to financial freedom I would guess it’s the second one I mentioned since you’re willing to finance a truck in the most expensive way there is.Lease purchases only attract those who aren’t ready to purchase a truck they just want it now these companies know this are selling at the most expensive rates
