    Drivers lease because they want the pride of being an O/O . But they really aren't O/O's because they never own the truck . They lease a truck that's 2 years old when they get it on a 2 year lease . Then the carrier tells them they don't contract trucks over 4 years old so they have to lease another one . There is never option to sell the truck if things go bad . The carrier says you violated the lease terms and takes the truck back . Lease drivers are really at the mercy of the carrier .

    remember a few years ago when two big things were going on???

    1) cashing in your house for a second mortgage to buy a harley you couldn't afford.

    2) buying an over priced house you couldn't afford and paying interest only knowing the payments would bump.

    ya'see... 90% of people are basically really extremely very STUPID!!!!!!!!

    and... I'm not even all that against leasing, for a small segment of rational semi-intelligent people, leasing is just fine and not a bad option at all.

    but just because its good for a few doesn't mean its good for you or that you should jump on the band wagon.

    example:

    doggies are jumping off the floor, "gimme the ball, gimme the ball, GIMME THE BALL !!!!!!! oh please throw the ball." So you throw the ball and it flies out the window, quickly followed by rover...

    correlation:

    "gimme the bike, gimme the bike, GIMME THE Bike !!!!!!! oh please where do I sign, gimme the bike."

    "gimme the house, gimme the house, GIMME THE HOUSE !!!!!!! oh please where I sign, gimme the house."

    "gimme the truck, gimme the truck, GIMME THE TRUCK !!!!!!! oh please where do I sign gimme the truck."

    reference:
