    I am currently taking the driving course at my local college and looking to do a lease option to drive for myself (of course through a company like Prime Inc or Schneider). My main question is what all expences should I expect? As a leasee do I then get to choose my own loads or am I still tied to going through the companies dispatchers/brokers?

    Drive OTR as a company driver for a year. See what expenses there are, if you actually want the career, and talk with other lease operators.

    Where are you located? @Chinatown can give you some leads on company jobs.

    As others have said it's a good idea to drive for a year or two to get some experience.

    I remember one Kansas driver that went with Seaboard Foods as soon as he graduated from cdl school. Said he was going to do a lease purchase.
    Seaboard has tankers, reefers, livestock trailers, feed trailers.

    Seaboard Foods has business operations in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas,
