Are you new to driving and looking to get experience?

 

i wouldnt go with either of them. remember taxes, health ins, and other business expenses. btw you have to drive slow for best fuel economy and profitability

 

You should know by now to NOT LEASE! If you can't save for the truck, you don't need it. I'll drive their truck into the ground before I lease from ANY company!

 

Leasing a car has been shown to be the most expensive way to buy a car. Renting a house or apartment is OK, if you plan on moving in less than 2 years, or if you're just getting on your feet, otherwise buying is a better way to go. And buying a house is like buying a truck, with the proper down payment, and credit, you are moving towards owning something, in the case of a house, something, that for the most part, goes up in value.

Face it, most people who lease trucks,...

1) Lease from the company that dispatches them, so the company controls the purse strings.

2)Have little or NO money for a down payment.

3)Have poor, or no credit.

4) Think leasing is just a higher paying driving job, not starting a business.

Any of the above sound familiar in your situation, KingG239?

 

While I agree that 95% of the time leasing is not the way to go, your blanket statement is incorrect. There are drivers that have leases on trucks that do make more money than company drivers. But, 95% of the drivers that do lease are ill equipped with business know how to make it work and should have never taken the step.
