    I wanted to stay until I felt ready. I feel ready now. I don't have much saved, which is why I'm here trying to see how much other lease ops needed to startup. I gotta make sure I'm financially ready before I dive in.

    If it took you 7 months to "become" ready to go out on your own, stay a company driver, I sure don't believe you will ever be ready to jump into a lease.

    No just a lot of experienced people here trying to help someone that after this post defenitly doesn't want help... I'm starting to wonder if this is why it took you 7 months to get off of your trainers truck?

    I believe I asked some very specific questions when I started my post. As for the experienced people chiming in, seems to me like it is only company drivers who never completed a lease at Prime.

    Naysayers huh, were not naysayers your balance of your savings account(which you refered to as "not that much" is a naysayer. Ive seen and heard too many people that walked into a lease very early in their career, with little money put away, and had horrible results. Just dont that to happen to you as well is all. I wish you the best, good luck.
