    3 years leasing a truck and all you have is 1 to 2
    Thousand dollars to your name.
    That's one weeks pay for some of those low life
    Company drivers. That's embarrassing.

    Greatwide might be what you want. Sometimes they wanted $2K down payment and sometimes they waived the down payment. Maybe they still do that.

    To be fair, maybe he was sinking all his money into paying down old debts. With a 600s credit score, I'm sure he had plenty.

    Buying the truck is only the first hurdle. It takes money to get the truck ready for the road. Do yourself a favor, get a job and save up 10k before you attempt this, otherwise, you're just setting yourself up to fail.

    I still agree with the others, that you should have more cash reserves before you start.... Where are you planning to lease onto???

    Very sound advice. Even though I'll probably take a chance like last time, doing it as you mentioned is the safest bet. Will consider it.
