For those of you who do not want to hear it from a trucker.....

none yet, I want to work in the industry for a couple years before I even think about leasing.

 

But they told me i could make MORE MONEY!! I wanna make that 1.40 a mile!!!

 

My last company actually told people their lease wasn't a good idea. They didn't even have a lease option until a handful of drivers kept asking them to do it and so they finally did. I guess they figured if they warned a driver and he still wanted to do it they couldn't feel bad about it.

 

never said I was going to lease! I'm 51 years old. Leasing s nothing more than rent to own, if, you can make it!

thanks for posting it.

 

Don't do it! Listen to Chompi!!!

 

Yet another thread about leasing and how bad it is. When will the insanity stop? And when will People grow a brain and ears and learn to listen instead of letting it go in one ear and out the other...or worse have the words bounce off and get lost in space. Hell the first day of truck driving school if you go to an independent school they tell you not to lease a truck from a company. Rent to own is not really the correct term more like rent to line pockets you'll never own that truck with the way its set up. Sad thing is I've passed a few lease drivers one CRE one PRIME both were bragging about how much money they were making. I asked what their rate per mile was they said about $1.50/mile all I could do was laugh. That don't go too far now days unless your getting good discounts on just about everything you purchase.

 

fuel prices don't help!
