    You are misunderstanding my response, if a company will not give you a copy of the lease to have an attorney review it BEFORE you sign it , walk away

    Just like many of us told Kwan . . . . DON'T. Unless you have SUBSTANTIAL accident free years driving under your belt, managing your time, etc..., you'll be so busy still trying to learn the industry that you'll be lucky to break even on your lease payment, due to inexperience as a whole.

    That's what I thought you said earlier on; was thinking you may had changed your mind back again. Good for you, man. Congrats. Keep us posted.

    Look.....a carrier LP is never worth it. All the LP drivers do is see a pretty truck, and the carrier jungles keys in front of them. First of all its is not a matter of "who can and who cannot." Understand this first. You are not in control! You dont pick loads....the carrier allows you to see loads that they want you to pull. You have no right to the asset (the truck). I cant begin to tell you how insanely bad this is to do an LP.

    The dog whistles carriers use on prospective suckers...I mean LP drivers are "LP...you are paying for YOUR truck" and "You have a business" and my favorite...."you now own your own trucking company." This is an out and out medicine show style sucker move. And the drivers fall for it lock stock and barrel. They eat it up. Yum Yum.

    The carrier loves to make you have the illusion that you are in control, and that you are actually have a truck you are paying off. You are not. Even the recent lawsuits against fleece purchase carriers and port carriers bore this out.

    DO the hard work. Stop the teenager type urge to have instant gratification by an uncontrollable need to have a truck. The truck is just a tool. Take away the truck from a fleece purchase driver and just have a conversation about the trucking business (not the truck) and their eyes glaze over. They dont know ANYTHING!

    Look, I cant stop people from making bad decisions. The only thing I can do is warn and counsel people. If people want to play "fantasy island trucking" be my guest. Knock yourself out. But dont try to bait or drag other people to follow you down the rabbit hole.
