Dear Mods...

I read it as a subforum for leasing to companies.

 

You are the only one to read it that way it looks like, I read it as a sub-forum for lease purchases, more affectionately known as fleeces.

 

that was awesome, had a good little chuckle!

 

As said, I meant it purely for Flease Purchase participants. Leased onto a company is neither here nor there in my book. I have ran it both ways, and still I can go to a dealer and buy the truck I want, on my terms, put it to work anywhere I want to, go home whenever I want to, run under my own numbers again if I choose, cut a hole in the roof for my rooftop ac, and so on. The vast majority of Flease Purchasers can not do that, so they could do with their own forum to discuss whatever they discuss, and leave the experienced O/O's to answer serious questions from like minded people.
It's a shame that this industry has got to the point to where drivers who have no business owning a business, can "give it a try" with a flease deal. I have news for you, if you dont KNOW you want to run a business, don't go and buy one. Didn't figure that as being brain surgery, but apparently it is.....

of course they don't know the business. otherwise they wouldn't be doing company dispatch, low mileage pay. high weekly payments. hometime when the company says. and that savings account that most don't get back.

and they prefer to be called o/o instead of renter operator.

 

maybe get this thread moved to the forum info section,

and you'd hear from Sam..........

 

Aren't you in a Lease Purchase?

 

They get pretty ill with 'sharecropper' too.

 

they don't have stars upon thar's

 

truth be told, those mega carrier lease purchase deals make the old south share cropping look like a good deal
