    I am looking to lease a truck. I have felonies in my past and cannot seem to find anyone willing to hire me for another couple years so I'm willing to lease if anyone will work with me.

    Why do think there is a difference if you lease a truck? There isn't, Just because you take on some of the truck cost will not make you more hireable.

    Still gonna have to have someone hire you on. Unless you have the cash to float your expenses to start up

    You'd be better off running a rock bucket for those couple years.

    Dont let past mistakes lead you to present mistakes. Lease purchase is very very bad.

    Yes it can be bad, but it also depends on where you go to work, yes some of the carrier are all about one thing Ben you over, I work for great wide I will never say it's a bed of roses, can you go well with G-WIDE yes, can you lose your tail off yes, at the end of the day if one decide to work for G-WIDE, don't work for on agent run under Central dispatch and book your own loads, if you go van your money will be OK, if you go to step deck you will see 2.50 per mile on up 4.50 per mile, if you go to rgn know you are up in the big money Lane, for example I saw on their load broad a rgn load 1100 miles 7500$, I was I could pull on rgn with my little pro star, if you have a 8 axle rgn set up know you will see most loads grossing from the 10$ per mile, so if you lease a truck and put it on with the right company you will do well for your self

    They are not the only one that does if it is not like yesterday most of them will, dart does, G-WIDE dose and a lot more of them it just as to be over x amount of years and for what and how much experience do you have before they will even think about you, FedEx no ups no covin no Warner no so you just have to look at it that way to see which one will
