    leasing a truck benefits the carrier you pay all of the fuel tolls breakdowns and repairs eld in plus what ever other membership fee's are in the contract. it won't build your credit towrds buying a truck from a dealer as the bank will more than likely say that they took the money out of your settlements!!! i am sure the carriers make more off leasing trucks than moving frieght also.

    I've been told that this is a "walk away" lease if it doesn't work out

    You have been told?

    By who? Them?

    If you dont get a lawyer to look at the contract BEFORE you sign it you probably screwed yourself.

    You wont find many people here that will blow sunshine up your skirt. 99% of the time, LP is bad.

    (On a side note, didnt Hirshbach just get bought out by someone?)

    and when you turn the truck in they will nickel and dime you to death for every little thing!!!! and they won't repair nothing and just give it to the next sucker or sell it!!! and if it's a prime lease then you lost all equity you put in it once you turn it in if it's a lease purchase.
