    I am wondering if anyone has completed a lease with PRIME?? Or any other company for that matter? How was it? Would you do it again?

    I did complete my first lease with Prime, and now I'm on my 2nd. The first one was a shorter lease, as the truck had been leased by another driver first, and I took it for the time remaining on the term. I got a new Cascadia in October, and have been running since with no qualms at all about what I'm doing.

    To me this is puzzling... why do you keep leasing different trucks and not just buy one and pay it off?

    Life with a paid off truck is good.

    Since you decided to dig up a 2 year old thread... Sazook, as he explained to me just a few weeks ago, is finishing up his lease here in a couple of weeks... He has already banked a good bit of money, and he will get a good bit of money from his lease completion bonus.

    I believe he has already been accepted to a college and will be attending starting this spring... he doesnt need a truck for that

    LOL... when I see related threads at the bottom of a page I forget to look at the dates.

    I guess if the completion bonus is big enough.

    A deer guard? That's extra weight I ain't putting on my truck. Same with the chains/cables. Dropping those off at home first chance I get.

    Yeah, with any kind of weight in the box, I can't even fill the tanks now and be under 12K on the steers. That's with the 1/5 in the 4 hole, one back from where I'd prefer it. No thanks on the deer guard.

    Just don't go out lookin' to squash Bambi in the first place! Don't need more stinkin' weight on the steers. FYI... if you don't have the minimum chain/cable set on board Sept 1st to June 1st in Colorado, you're subject to a fairly heavy fine. Oregon and Washington require that you carry them too.
