    Line up another job to go to that you can drive for. Apply and get transportation to the orientation and leave this year behind. (Before he corrupts your driving record)

    With truck prices sky high,I’m curious if the truck is stolen. Any business man with a thimble full of brains isn’t going to leave a truck to sit.

    Always run your own numbers. He was probably throwing $5k gross to hook you in.

    there are like a gazillion threads here about NOT leasing...

    and you leased.

    i can't say any more, that the others are most likely wanting to say as well.

    will you learn a lesson and stay away from leasing now..??

    Yes I cant stomach another lease. There are better ones I know probably but this one sure left a bad taste.

    well PLEASE take your time, go thru many questions, ask other lease operators, before you get involved again.

    or buy your own, and work off a load board, or sign on with a VERY reputable company

    i do wish you all the best in the new year

    be safe out there, is job #1

    He doesn't need encouragement to try another lease. No matter how good a lease is, you still have to know what you're doing in order to succeed.

    No offense to the op, but you can't know what you don't know. If he had known what he was doing, he would have put together a solid business plan and done his due diligence. He would have seen this coming and never put himself in this position.

    The op doesn't need to be leasing until he gains more knowledge. If he leases before then, even to a good company, he'll still likely fail, only more slowly.
