Company lease vs O/O

my credits shot. I can't buy a truck. I've looked at allot of the lease purchase and have yet to find one i'd do. A few were close but after talking with people it just mysterously seems to never work out in the end. the compleation rates on them is terribly low and that's where you need to look.
Arnold used to have a great lease. included FREE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. can't beat that. Once us express bought them out it went to the same crappy plan that us uses. it's one of the worse, up there with CR england even. it's just not a good idea to tie your truck into the same place you get your loads.

 

Not sure why you think that way...JCT has a great lease plan and a 1 dollar buy out at the end..The only reason I didnt go with them is I just cant or let me say WONT stay out on the road for three or four weeks at a time..Especaily where I live at. THERE is no reason for a driver to HAVE to stay out that long unless thats what that driver chose to do..

 

I would not do a lease purchase again. I got suckered into one of these deals back when i was new to the industry. They preach about freedom and such. But then tell you can only run 65 mph, tell you were to fuel, were to get your oil changed and the list goes on. Most have forced dispatch. Essentially i felt like i was treated like a company, except i was the one making the payment.

 

DING DING!! Give this man a CEEEEGAR!

many of them won't let you do your own maintenance. That's the best way to lower operting costs in this biz..

I get fairly good miles I suppose.

That said I have only averaged around 750 per week and you have to take the taxes out of that.
I have not been home in 4 months.
This is about the most ****** up industry I have every worked in.
Yes I lease though I swore I would not.
The reality of it is they have miles and people really do make money.
But
You can never go home
and
You better hope your truck doesn't break down.

 

Well I will say this from what I have researched and found out from JCT drivers that I have talked to I talk everyone I see...
I can say this JCT is NOOOOOOOO CRE....
