    I have done lease purchase before and you can make money and do good if you are business minded and not lazy. I def. do not recommend leasing with no money in the bank. There are good lease purchase programs out there, you just have to do some researching. I have been out of the industry for a year and a half and looking to get back now that I got my stuff straightened out with the va being I got messed up in Iraq. My record is clean except two non preventable non reportable accidents, still worried I will get rejected though if I try to talk to anyone. The best way is to buy a truck though if you can.

    I know over a dozen driver personally who have paid off their trucks through JCT. I have been here at John Christner for 6 years and have never once regretted it.

    Buel Inc. might deal with you. They have some type of lease/purchase program & run hard Southeast/Northwest turns.

    Obviously he is doing it for our entertainment value in the form of a "So and so are a bunch of lying crooks who screw their drivers over!" post 6-8 months from now.

    One should never go into a lease without money in the bank. Honestly, it is better to save your money over a period of years and then buy from a dealer. Then you can go anywhere and haul for anybody. Lease programs aren't bad, but you need to do heavy research and you need to be business minded, as well as good at managing time and money.

    I tell you this and am gonna be honest to you. I work for P and S out of birmingham alabama. Our lease program here is one of a kind. Although you have to be a company driver for at least 90 days, because they wanna see tgat your revenue will be good enough to be a lease operator. . When I came over here I talked to a bunch of drivers that lease. ( bunch of drivers meaning 15 plus) . And they all do well. They have showed me settlements of the money they make, it actuallu shocked me the money they make. I made good as a company driver, but now ive vwntured into their lease program and waiting to see what my future holds. If you like mking money this is the place to do it. We offer $2000 sign on bonus. And if in ky, ill, ohio, wv, they offer $2500 sign on bonus. They treat you fair and right. If I have I problem I get it handled. My truck number is 1167, put me down as a referral. I will get the same bonus as you. But I just wanted you to know a bit about the company. My truck is a 2011 prostar with 187000 miles on it with the remainder of the warranty. So the only expense I have is payment, fuel, and the esgrow and minor stuff. Hope this is what your looking for. Hope to hear from you soon. Number for p and s is 205-788- 4000. Ext 327 keith roberts. He will fill you in on more. I lovw it here ....
