    I agree with you 100%, and believe I’ve learned my lesson and will never lease another truck again.

    The megas don't offer L/P out of the kindness of their heart, they do it because they make more money that way.
    You're making the right decision.

    Clean the truck inside and and out. Take it to the terminal that it is assigned to.
    Be with the individual when they do a walk around and video tape it. Get them to sign for the truck.

    Make sure that you are not under a dispatch.

    Yup I'd say turn it in. Your problem isnt ####ty miles, it's a rather commom problem in trucking especially with a mega carrier. It's a lously choice of company with ####ty pay. Driving your own (yours,lease, lease purchase,rental whatever) you should be getting $2 per mile MINIMUM! Find a smaller company who will pay correctly and you wont want to drive more than 18-2000 miles a week.

    Tell your DM that it is not working ( he knows that already ) Inform him you are ending it now. You can go back to being a company driver. If you want to stay that is ... It's no big deal , it happens every day at Swifty don't sweat it.
