    I’ve been driving Uber full time in the city traffic for 2 years without any issues. I have what it takes. I don’t believe in unemployment pay, I hope to never take it. I don’t want anybody to cheat me including the government. This pony’s gonna win ;)

    The insurance companies decide if you're qualified or not.
    Drive for FFE and you'll be qualified. You'll make plenty of money to save and good experience running to all 48 states.

    Can't even put a down payment on a credit card? What would you do if you are faced with a $20,000 repair bill and have no money but have somehow acquired a truck?

    Even I don't feel like doing this troll dance with you today dude...

    I’m not here trying to teach you. I’m learning DUDE. The finance system is gay. I have barely any credit history so they won’t give me a a large credit limit anyway.

    If I could, I would probably take the risk... and I would probably win.

    I tried calling but no one answered... I’ll try again. But I heard lease to own programs are the devil. I’ll check it out though! Thanks!

    I wouldn't do a lease to own. Many people do though, but I wouldn't.
    I'd rather be a company driver and save money to buy my own truck when enough money saved.
