    Do you mean "Lease purchase a truck"

    or -

    Buy a truck and 'lease on' under someone else's authority?

    I still don't know. Which one is best for me? Maybe its better for me to buy a truck from a dealer and bring it to a company?

    You need a well researched business plan. Some clear goals. There is a plethora of information here that can help you.

    Depending on your age - keep in mind that investing $100k in an IRA at 7% will turn it into $200k in 10 years.

    Now is not the golden time in trucking as I'm sure you're well aware.

    If you take the 100k, and purchase a truck outright, how much cash will you have on hand, at that point?
