    Was wondering if some of you would look at Hill Bros. Lease purchase deal and let me know if it looks like something that could be profitable or something that I would lose my backside on. They seem to offer decent trucks w/ Apu's on them, thats a plus, I won't have to idle. To me the payments don't look to bad, but then again I could be wrong.

    All input will be taken into concideration.

    Thanks in advance

    You can't run a truck on .85 a mile with fuel the way it is now days.

    You'd be much better off getting a truck on your own and getting your own authority. Don't do it, it will drive you to the poor house. :biggrin_25521:

    Don't let one bunch of crooks or ten for that matter run you off the idea just use your brain and learn up on what makes a good deal start with learning the rule 49CFR375... is a good place to start and while you run for someone else keep track of what it cost to really run the truck
