    i can't understand why anyone would want to lease.

    you make .89 cents per mile and your truck payments are $600 per week.

    real owner operators have for above $2 per mile and $500 month payments.

    why would you want to work for free.

    Are you kidding?! You have 3 months exp. You are having trouble finding a job and you think leasing will solve your problems? Do yourself a favor and find another line of work. Its for your own good.

    I'm brand new myself, but you don't want to lease if you only have 3 months driving for a company, especially if you quit your last job over mechanical issues. What're you gonna do if the truck you;re leasing has issues? Can't quit that very easily.

    Re-apply at both places; they're both good companies. Heed the advice from others on here; stay away from lease programs.

    Try some others also with online aplications:
    Navajo
    Panther Expedite
    Marten Transport
    Melton Truck Lines
    Western Express
    JBS Carriers
    Paschall Truck Lines
