<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lepton1, post: 8474654, member: 101602&quot;]One of the primary reasons why drivers sign up to lease a truck from the company that dispatches them is because they have poor credit.&nbsp; A typical lease arrangement like that costs about $1000 a week.&nbsp; It is a way for some drivers to repair or establish credit and get their foot in the door at the bottom rung of being an owner operator.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a driver has good credit, then leasing a truck from a company is a better option.&nbsp; You can then lease it on with ANY company that hires owner operators.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t like the situation at XYZ Trucking you can delease it and go to ABC Express.&nbsp; That isn&#039;t an option if you lease the truck from the company that dispatches you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many owner operators do lease their truck from a leasing company.&nbsp; They like the idea of a warranty and in some leases they can get a replacement truck if their truck goes into the shop for an extended amount of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most owner operators buy their truck.&nbsp; This requires having a down payment and sufficient cash reserve for maintenance and repairs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
