    Premier 1457 would u care to share who u were successful with doing lease purchase?? Ive looked at countless different companies for l/p and read bad reviews on all of them! Ive been n the game for 10 years now and tired of being a company driver. I know I cant start at the top of the O/O chain but need a good company to at least get my foot n the door. I cant afford to go conventional route and get financing right now so any help is appreciated!!!

    It was at a company that I'm no longer at... Premier Transportation was leasing in house on their own trucks...as of last month they are so short on trucks that they are not leasing any...at least that was what I was told.

    FAF is a good company, great people to work for, I did very well with them. I think that if they have a lease purchase program it sure is tailored for the driver to make it, especially if is a team

    Thanks alot for the input everyone! Im still thinking of trying to find a company to go with and try and save for down payment tags insurance etc. But Uggggh having to make someone else all the $ is for the birds especially if it means another 2/3 years as a company driver when I could be making the same $ doing a lease purchase and own the truck in maybe the same amount of time u know??

    I am currently leased on with forward air thru quality leasing and my advice is find another company. I am solo and i am not getting any miles and this 2012 international prostar is always breaking down. They are only hiring teams but teams are also struggling for miles so i am in the process looking for another job.
