    Going into a lease to get 4 months experiance ,sounds like a very bad mistake keep looking for a reginal or local co(foodservice) & go from there, I personally think most lease purchases are bad but for your reasons much so!:biggrin_2551:

    I don't think he realizes that "breaking even" is what the lease drivers who run hard do.

    I actually got a local job with six months working in a warehouse/ driver position. I did class B and was paid $8.50 an hour but it build up my experience to where I have over two years. If someone like me can find a local job, he can. I do rec. to the op you learn about leasing. You bust your butt doing miles for a truck you will never own. Also, many companies have penalities for lack of miles. If you leave a lease as in walk away and you owe money, it goes on your credit report and you have people calling for collections every night. Just an FYI.
