    If you disable the GPs on the truck and "go do your own thing" they can consider it as you stealing their truck. Leasing is just renting a truck. Try renting a car and never bothering to return it and see what happens.

    LOL! So, it would be the drivers fault that their tracking hardware seems to sometimes not work? Look, they are playing the starve out the driver game, drivers can play games too... Everything, of course, done with complete plausible deniability. For all they know, the driver is sitting their at their mercy waiting to the thrown a bone(load). Certainly nothing like renting a car and not returning it. Like I said, I've known guys to do this... one guy even had his brother, whom had a CDL, run the truck hauling short haul hogs in a bull rack all weekend long. Heck, the new GPS systems are even easier to compromise... I will not say how, but they are... wink wink!

    Didn't this thread have a point, way back when? Whether there were any good companies and the OP's lease with TransAm that's only good so far for TransAm?

    If you want to start a (ha ha?) thread on how to steal from your company, go ahead. Maybe there's a hidden get-back that would salvage the financial skins of newbies and rookies. Sell sets of tires and wheels to O/Os??

    Doubt thread will get far. Who knows? Had an Indy company tell me that when they got one abandoned truck back it had different, older tires and wheels and nothing they could do or prove.

    The company is making you lease, and pay expenses for the truck... Is it really stealing, when one takes it upon themselves to find work for the truck? Some people are resourceful others, not so much.

    Leasing is not an OWNER operator. It' still their truck you're just renting it. You're essentially a glorified company driver.
