    Lone mountain is like playing Russian roulette... you might buy a good truck and then again you might get a lemon... i got a friend who bought one from them and he said he had to take it to a local shop and have them inspect it before he would buy it.... he told me they don't inspect them... I think that's kinda shady...

    I have been around and tried the lease purchase(hauling tankers to taste the water) to be honest you have to be a company driver for atleast a year before making the switch. reasons
    1. you have to know the company
    2. learning how they run you and them learning how you want to run
    3. the honeymoon period is usually lasts about 4 months
    4. a lot of talking to lease operators around your area you will heard the bad, the good and the insane bs we drivers sometime talk and somewhere in between the truth is
    5. is good to have a nice looking truck but maintenance and out of guaranty parts etc will get you for a truck that the company can take away at anytime just because they can or a stupid high buyout...hint hint hint prime.
    6. unless you know your stuff you might end up making less than a company driver
    7. I have a friend doing a lease to purchase, he has to do all his truck maintenance at a company approved shop.. 400 for a oil change and 150 an hour shop labor when the average cost of shop labor in the northeast is 100 dollars an hour or less
    that's just my 2 cents
