    Do any of you guys with exception to the original poster realize this is the car hauler section? Prime Van crap lease scamming does NOT apply to anything the op is asking.

    & yes, new 9/10 car stingers are pushing $300,000 retail cost.

    I would definitely weigh my options. I know guys that lease as car haulers and they make great money. I'm a company driver now and plan on being an owner opp in the near future. I'm just not sure which companies that offer truck purchasing other than Pasha.

    It has been said in other threads,,,,great money in Car Hauling is a thing of the past. Yes you can make a decent living. As far as leasing a truck I would steer away from it personally. If you get to the point you don't like where you are at or if things get bad and you can't afford it back the truck goes to the company with you left holding a big fat nothing. Yes the same goes for buying a truck but you have the option to lease to another company if you get fed up with where you are at. United road does the lease thing. The trucks are mostly older (like 2000) models but that keeps your cost down to see if it is really something you are cut out to do.
