    i went to transam orientation on and here is my exp. ppl there are tight ##### and they try to fill your head with how glamourous the lease program is and payroll is crazy too.you will go broke if you go with transam. believe me i know!!!if you are fresh out of cdl school do your research .if you go lease you may be getting a truck that has been leased out more times than you got fingers.the day i left trans am i have been much happier cause i aint got that monkey on my back:biggrin_2556:. iam now with ptl trucklines.i get great hometime and plenty of miles.plus i have my own truck and i am able to pay my bills and still have jingle in my pocket. also ive learned id rather have a manual over a auto ne day in a semi.JUST BEWARE TRAN AM IS A :biggrin_25524:SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin_25524::biggrin_2559:

    What I don't understand and maybe you lease ppl can answer this,why would you wanna lease when you can't even pick out your own trk or does the company let you choose your trk?Does any lease ppl take the trk for a spin before signing the contract or is everything signed during orientation before you even get a chance to see what trk the company assigned you to? How companies do the lease thing,would you buy a car that way?Is your trk governered?People you have to know most of these lease contracts are nothing but scam.You're just making the trk payments for the company.They're making a huge profit off you and you're the one broke.In reality you're nothing more then a company driver. Glad you're doing good at PTL tests84.

    Took a lease with transam fresh out of school only did it for 3 months. They push you to lease, saying you won't make any money going company when it's the other way around. Now I see transam on the road I feel really bad for the guy.
