    It doesn’t matter who you do an L/P with really. What matters is, what they allow you to do inside that lease agreement.

    Can you take it somewhere else?
    Is it self dispatch?
    Are the rates fixed, or percentage?

    If you’re trapped. It’s a no go.
    If someone else picks your loads. Nope
    If you run at a fixed rate. Big hell no

    Most walk away leases come with a catch. You can truly walk away, if you can afford the cost. Always read the fine print. There may be a recapture cost associated with walking away. If so, you could have a new loan of $2000-10,000 and no truck.

    Not naming names here. But there’s a video on YouTube that digs deeper. One company says the same upfront. Then when reviewing the lease, you discover you’re on the hook for more.

    Do your research.

    No they’re not, and neither should you. It’s still a business. It may have their name on the side of the truck. But it’s YOUR business. Just run it like one. Profit before pride.

    There are too many out here that have successfully done a lease, then transitioned into ownership and their own authority. To belittle someone who is honestly trying to make that transition. That’s just my opinion, others will vary.
