    Well sort of, your still going to pay for it, just out of your weekly settlement.

    You only have $15000 total before you buy anything.
    It's not enough money.
    $5000 for down payment- Which will cost more for paperwork processing.
    $2000 for a license plate. And another $550 for HHUT if it hasn't been paid
    $1000-1500 for fuel first week.
    That leaves you $5000 at best.
    The warranty that they will sell you isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
    Using a credit card is sure way to fail.
    Good luck.

    Well My First order is to PAY OFF whatever Truck I get ASAP !

    Since I have NO Wife & Kids to worry about.

    Then in the Time LEARN about being a Productive O/O and then IF I Feel I can Be Successful & PROFITABLE !

    Go BUY a NEW TRUCK and then Keep on Truckin'......

    Yes I've thought about that too.....

    But I'm of the School of thought that : " You get what You PAID FOR ! ".....

    I'm also Thinking of Buying a Schneider Truck out right for Under $30,000.
    And take my Chances that way.

    How's that ? : IF a Company Advertises they will COVER : Insurance ! Tolls ! and other expenses.....

    Wouldn't anyone with an Ounce of Common Sense ASK THEM on the Phone,and IF they want to Go Further ?

    Get it in in the LEASE what The Company WILL COVER !

    I have no idea what they pay; just know the pay is the same empty or loaded.
    I don't really care one way or the other; some 0/0's do fine there and maybe some don't.

    Look, at the end , you are going to do whatever you decide to do .
    I will say , DO IT!
    2 things are going to happen and both are going to be beneficial for you.
    First , you Will full fill your dream. Which is good for your , specially if you succeed .
    Second , if you fail, is even better for your soul. You will do more research , more education , more discipline , more listening . So, as you can see there is NOTHING TO LOOSE , every thing is to gain.
    Good luck !
