Back on the road. Lease purchase with JB Hunt

Wow. Just wow. Another reason to not lease a truck. I am so steamed. As a professional driver I am of the opinion this tractor needs a pm oil change based on various signs and wonders. So I want to access the maintenance escrow I have been paying into. They tell me I must get permission to have anything done because it is only for "necessary" maintenance and if they don't think it's necessary I can buzz off. !

 

The maintenance guru whatever's at the TEL corporate office.

 

And the phone tree one must endure to contact them. 24 hr access to breakdown but try to get an oil change at 5am. Bag full of curses.

 

I want to do that too. Sadly past few months drained me like a vampire. Last week was first settlement I felt caught up and in the black. My acct is thin. But yes. That is the smart way to go alright.

 

I had hernia surgery awhile ago. You will get strong steadily. Just don't do something stupid trying to push it. Best wishes to you.

 

Yeah will do. You know they stack the cards though. Also as I think about it I'm taking office chicks word for it. May be after I speak to maintenance it will be different. These companies are like ...hey! I got a way to make money! Lets lease a bunch of trucks and they haven't a clue.
