Oh...and what do you do when the company you fleece purchase from gets pissed at you, for what ever reason...maybe nothing at all, and cut your miles and revenue....what then! Do you think you can take your truck to another carrier. NOT!!!!
And by the way....depending on your fleece purchase....you just cant WALK AWAY!! You signed a contract!! Walk away and find your credit ruined and probably in court getting sued and getting garnished somehow. These carriers have legions of attorneys that do this for them.
I am waiting for someone to actually mention a carrier that has a lease purchase that is right as rain. I mean the heavens open up, birds chirp with a pretty little rainbow at the end. I have seen almost every fleece purchase contract from about every major carrier that practices this style of predatory style lending and contractual obligations. Reading those leases is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. -
BigKid2 Thanks this.

We all know your opinion on leases, point taken enough said. Please be quite. -
With that being said I want someone to post a real honest to goodness VIABLE lease purchase. Please Omit the company name, your name and any other indicators that could reveal the company or you. Every single fleece purchase I have seen is a proverbial financial nightmare, and a massive liability for the driver.
Prove me wrong! -
...and you as an owner-operator are subject to the same market and financial forces as a lease-operator. I see just as many who completely own their own trucks loose their butts.
I too am a veteran, and thanks to you and your friends for your service. Don't take my next remark the wrong way. Your DD214 and $5.00 only entitles you to bad post-service medical care and a fancy cup of coffee. -
I think Ironpony summed it up pretty good
-
Being a veteran doesn't mean much these days...many of us are here.
As far as leases... there's many bad ones out there but you can still make it as a guy I know made it with Prime. A lot of it is your drive and sacrifice.
Noone will sugar coat it, hand you a truck, give you a hug, bunch of time off and a big booty check... doesn't sound like you (moglar) should be looking at leases or being an o/o in the near future.... sorry just my $.02. -
Poor moglar. If only he would do some research and come to ACT he would see that all his talking points would be unjustified
