    No. I would recommend that you find a better paying driving job.

    It’s only been a year, most guys who get into this industry are gone soon. Give it another year or so, get your endorsements and keep your record clean and you can work for a company that’ll pay you what a lease would pay you after all your deductions minus the stress.

    Sounds like you just need to find a better job.
    If $1,100 is your average gross per week you need to find a better paying job.

    Not everyone that does a lease purchase fails. So, you have to decide if you feel adventuresome. In my mind, that's one of the equations in this biz. I say it over and over. Be adventuresome, be flexable. Don't be afraid of the unknown. The worst scenario for you is leasing and then failing. As if no one has ever failed before. I failed algebra ! And look ! Made it all these years. As long as you keep in the back of your mind you may fail, then go for it. Luck to ya'
