    Say I wanted to lease on to a company. Not 'Fleece'. And, on at a firm, truck firm, that is. I want a leasing company that has no ties to the money. I find it very hard to believe anyone that has control of BOTH money and the truck; it's not going to be in the Driver's best.

    What's the actual (power unit) P/U cost to operate, in an avg lease w/o money down(?) - and yes, I realize that's not exactly the ideal situation.

    The whole break-away, not including trailer. Basics, I guess is what I want to know. I know there's going to be other bottom line items, such as CPA and food. But the basics: Auth, Plates, IFTA, etc.

    First, if your leasing you dont need authority, and let your company deal with your ifta. At least until you understand it.
    Second why if you dont have a down payment wouldn't you want to lease from a reputable carrier? Do you think they will run a straight owner operator before they run a truck they are paying for? Much better for you when you both have skin in the game. Not to mention you can walk away if you figure out your in over your head.

    I don't plan on taking it to a company. Just want to be free from all the headache. And I don't want to run NY.. so no HUT either. I could probably just let my g-maps track the miles on my mobile for KY... outside of that I don't plan to run in the few others that road/fuel tax outside of ifta... but if ifta would just take a hike - that'd be great too.
