    nobody has said it, so I will, lease purchase for 90% of the time is a rip off.

    I've never done it but have read the horror stories on here.

    I did a year with Prime and I thought they were good as a starter company, especially if you want to run reefer (though they do have smaller flatbed, tanker and intermodal divisions). Reefer is their big one though. Most of the company is lease but I was a company driver...once you finish training, you choose which side you want to go to. I wouldn't recommend leasing for a newbie, they'll let you do it but you have enough on your plate early on with learning how to operate out here.

    I left there a little under 2 years ago so my memory is still fairly fresh, hit me up if you have any questions about them.
