    So I. Working at transam right now training and all that been here 1 year I want to go to landstar better money and I can pick my loads. My credit is ok lower 700s. Where should I lease a truck from? If prefer a newer one with warranty. Currently using one leasing truck payment 620 a month. It's cool tho cuz they are 6 month leases and I get a bonus at the end. But I'm sure there are better leasing agencies. Hell if landstar is all it's cracked out to be I'll even finance a truck any thoughts?

    The term "lease"..... if you "lease" a truck Landstar will not accept that. "Leasing" from Penske/ryder etc aren't acceptable at LS as those places won't give you power of attorney.

    Lol a bonus? Sounds like a sales gimmick. I would just save my money and try get a loan from a bank to buy one from a dealership. I heard it's far easier getting a loan for a truck then a car just cause the truck will be put to work making money while a car won't.
    That's just what I heard tho, so don't quote me on it.

    You almost must have excellent credit to get a loan with only 1 year experience...and not saying it can't happen but, it'd be hard to find.
