    I was given this by a 3'rd party leasing company (so I'm free to move the truck from company to company) just wanted to know if this a typical arrangement? "
    On a new truck the down payment is $10,000 at the time of signing then $690 per week for a 4 year contract. On a used truck the initial rent is $2,500 plus $100 per week for 52 weeks. The base weekly rent is between $650 and $680 on most used trucks for the duration remaining on the original lease. Warranty is truck specific and we can review the details as we discuss available units.

    Once the lease ends you will have the option to keep the truck with your financing or doing a purchase agreement with us at your same weekly rate until paid off. The other option is to get into a new lease and you can defer $5,000 of the down payment on a new truck and we will finance that for you with an additional $100 a week for the 1st year. If you trade up out of a lease that is less than a year, we will give you credit for the $100 a week you pay on the short lease towards the initial rent on the new truck. The last option is to walk away without any obligation.

    So. First option is $142,480, which including your down payment is $2,968.33/month w/o finance charge or interest, i assume.
    So $742.08 every week you will owe, not counting $1000 for fuel, insurances, do you pay ifta or company?
    Plus workmans comp?
    2290@550$/year.
    If you do it, you shouldnt have home expenses, youll be living in the truck.
    $1700/year per tags

    If you got decent credit, you can get a good used truck for 10%down, make about $1100-$1500/month payment, and be home on weekends and still have money left.
    Remember, if a deal sounds to good to be true, it probably is

    I’ll say, my truck payment is $1046.43/month, breaks down to $261.61/week, don’t have to run hard at all, make it where first load pays truck payment, second load pays fuel and accessories/insurance/tags/ 3rd is your money if nothing snaps or breaks. Each week, as long as nothing breaks, or you work that week for a tire, if it blows.

    So why do people want to own a truck?
    Freedom to do what you want, run when and where you want to go.

    I’d say save some money, get down payment saved, have at least $15000, pay $5000 down 10k operating, then save, you need to have available to fix the highest thing on the truck.
    New engine with def/labor, around $32-35000.
    Dont want to scare you out of the idea, just letting you know what “could” happen

    I'll help you one farther. Here's my profit and loss statement for the year so far. At least you'll have a good idea what numbers to look at. Pay special attention to the maintenance and repair costs. Last year was $7,500 this year it's $13,000. On top of all the other stuff we have to pay.

    That's including buying new phones. I try as much as possible to pay outright for any of the cell phones I buy rather than doing the financing. My actual phone bill is only $160 a month. That is for my phone, my wife's phone, and a tablet.
