    I want to know everything you know about LP (Lease purchase) programs. Both the good and bad. I know the horror stories. But anything you do, can come with those. I know that as far as payments are concerned. Unless your's is paid for? The payments are the payments. And as far as " Your just making the payments and maintaining the companies truck for them. ". True enough. But that payment has to be made regardless if it's by you or the company. So do you settle for the leftover pennies per mile like a typical company driver? Or knuckle up, watch your back, manage your money and run your ### off ????? Thoughts

    I'm out of hot air to blow up your skirt, but we still have compressed air, a 1/4 tank of acetylene and a fresh bottle of argon.

    why would anyone want to make payments, for something they will never own..?? you'll never get any "equity" built up for a trade in, only the "loyal customer discount" on your next lease, which, if one goes over board, and has MORE bells and whistles, one's monthly payment will be substantially higher as well... so what id one gain???

    why would anyone want to run thier arse off for the company, under a lease deal, when as a company driver, you get paid a wage, benefits, have no headaches, and can walk away at any time..??

    try walking away from a signed contract (the lease), and buy or lease something again in the future.

    everyone thinks that he/she is gonna be self sufficient on this business of leasing, when in all reality, one is keeping the company CEO's and others, pockets sufficiently self stuffed.

    lease deals DO WORK however..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    they WORK for the company, the leasing agency, and the truck makers who supply the new trucks to more unsuspecting wannabe owners.


    and then they work for the Guatemalan's, and the Mexican's, when the used up, beat up, worn out trucks, get shipped to those places.

    Lease purchase programs are the greatest thing since sliced bread. You only live once, might as well go bankrupt while make someone else a bunch of money, right?
