    I would not have leased my first truck onto CRST Malone. I would have brought it to Schneider Bulk and not gone into bankruptcy in '07.

    But we live and learn. Hopefully we learn. ..

    its really hard to say, because hings have changed in my short time

    i startrd with england, and made money, but with elogs and csa, i dont think i would advise that route

    but i would say this, start with a NICE mega (maverick, schenieder, one of those that people are not whining about all day) stay about 2yrs, and then break my neck to get my own truck

    but NEVER be a company driver

    A lot of companies won't allow lease with 0 experience
