    What? Roehl bought new KW's? What model? They tried some T2000's a few years ago but did not like them for some reason.

    Roehl bought those to try and entice drivers to lease a truck thru Roehl. Thier current fleet is old and worn out and Dan is having a hard time finding a decent truck to offer a lease on.

    I thought the #1 rule of the book was NEVER to do a lease with the company your signed on with....Personally I can't stand leases (Fleeces) but if I had to lease there is only 1 company out there I would lease with:

    http://www.lonemountaintruck.com

    Allen Smith (who runs truthabouttrucking and so on) has raved about these guys and people that use them echo the same. I called them (to see about a direct purchase) but they didn't have anything in stock at the time.

    ..just remember this.. That truck NEEDS it's payment each and every week (or month) whether you run or not.... - That would scare me..
    Best of luck to whatever you opt to do PreacherMan ..you got the right attitude but I think you need to talk to more O/O who are leased and leasing from Roehl.
    Just be sure. Really sure....
