    There is a whole thread on here about doing the lease/purchase plan, id recommend you check it out. Do a search for 'reasons not to lease'

    as far as this deck x being a good company or not, i cant really help you on that end.

    Good luck on changing over to a new company if thats the route you go!

    thx i read it and it dont sound good at all !! prior to being a trucker i was a buisness man for 18 years thats a plus , my wife does flatdeck too so thats a plus , we can rack up good miles if available !! insurance, plates and WBC all paid and part of the fuel..... after 40 months a 1$ buy out !! 2013 386 pete with 5 year 800 000 k warranty... sounds good but im still unsure ... i still have a lot of research to do before i make a decision ,,or just team and have no worries!! thats sounds pretty good too !!

    well did the math and a lot of research ... leasing a truck is not a good idea ...company driver pays better and No headaches ... that shinny new truck almost sucked me in lol

    it was tempting ... but after you pay fuel and maintenance...i fugured it would come out to around 0.35 cents a mile !! im getting 0.45 cents now !! although its been very slow so far this year , wathing hockey with a cold beer is not that bad lol
