Back on the road. Lease purchase with JB Hunt

My thoughts exactly.

 

I try to not be stupid but sometimes stupid just sneaks up on me.

 

A lot of moving parts because basically I'm down to pnuts in the bank and I'm a long way from home. I think what's going to happen is this: Drop the lease and tell them to recover their piece of junk from the freightliner shop. JB says they're insisting it does not cost me a single dollar more. Not even recovery fee cuz Bcl did not fulfill their end. Then I rent a car. Load up my stuff from the truck and my fur babies and drive to Lowell AR and choose a lease truck off the lot and go back to work. Bada boom. Now the problem is don't have enough cash or credit yet to pay deposit and car rent but I have a feeling Jb will be willing to help with that. Gonna "rent" a brand new truck for 4 year lease and at end of lease look around for a local company driver gig. 3 maybe 4 days a week and plant petunias on my days off. Now that's what I hope will happen. What will really happen? I guess I will find out Monday.

 

Weekly lease is identical. Amenities that matter to me are the same. Big difference is the auto vs manual..I hate auto... plus I am so sick of freightliner shops I could spit molten nails. I have no reason to have a higher expectation of kenworth shops so I may be responding emotionally there. I really like the dd15 but have heard good things about the x15 cummins. Fuel mileage difference is a factor but that is affected by weight and pull power. It seems like I pull a lot of uphill heavy for JB so I gotta think about that. Am I making a business decision? yes. Have I researched web? Yes. Am I asking your opinion between the two choices? You bet your sweet bippy. Your experience is priceless.
Thank you.
