    I'm just confused. You're fired I can tell but quit crying about it and get another job, this time at a company and don't go around leases. You sound like you were around Stevens. They ahve the weirdest deal I everheard of. You pay the bills but your don' have any control of the truck except to hold the steering wheel.

    Allow me, It WAS NOT A FREAKING LEASE!!! THE TRUCK I DROVE WAS LEASED FROM A LEASING COMPANY LIKE RYDER OR ONE OF THOSE, I was not fired, I was given a choice either go they way or do this and I chose to go and turn the truck in and not go with their BS of doing it the slow to go way!! It was not with Stevens!! I am finished with the big mega trucking companies, I was never with one very big the largest was Conway T/L and that sucked rocks out of a fish pond.

    if you weren't leasing the truck. then you should have never said a word about it.

    cuz you've got everyone assuming you were a lease operator. and not a company driver.

    company drivers don't usually mention anything about a truck being leased.

    It's still clear as mud but it sounds like he leased a truck from a leasing company then contracted with a carrier .

    Next time you should investigate the company that you want to work for. Also in this business its a take and give type job you must take loads you dont want and we must as a company find ways to make u happy as well.
