    just thought I would finally sign on to this site so i could converse with some of you more experienced truckers,see I have been at it for about a year now, I went through a really good school to learn some of the ropes from,they got me my cdl license and they set me up pretty sweet for starts.

    I was a company driver for them for about 2 months and even got a chance to run my trainers truck over the holidays for a bit solo.

    I am now a lease operator and I am looking to buy this truck outright!

    Its an 08' freightshaker,and the buyout is like 50,000 after my lease is up.

    I have weighed the options for myself and even though it seems as though im gettin nailed with weekly payments sadly in vain,and when it comes time I will be way over paying,I look at it like this...
    in a year and a half I WILL OWN THIS TRUCK!

    in a year and a half I wont have much of a warranty left on it but oh well I will have my first truck bought and paid for and I will have some options I dont have now.

    I know alot of you would prolly say "No way man your wasting your money,do this instead",and I hope someone out there has some input on my plan,and maybe has a better one for me.

    all responses are welcome and thanx. J.
