    This guy /\ knows his stuff. Ip, I left out maintenance and a couple others to keep it simplified for the discussion, ive figured my operating costs to be between 1.20-1.30cpm. Hell ill figure out how to do a back flip id I can run for 1.07 lol. Did I break that down correctly though?

    Edit: or did I get the avg rate for a lease guy wrong? Everyone I've talked to said they avg between .40 and .60 profit wise.

    Well... I knew there was more to it than holding a wheel and shifting gears... but I had no idea how much there is to know... thank you both for the info... to answer the why do you want to lease question... I enjoy a challenge, I want to own my truck one day, I don't want to drive someone else's truck for the rest if my life, I want to walk out to the lot and see it sitting there, stop and look at it, and know.. that's mine.. my truck.. not the truck I drive.. but my truck.

    I come from a business background and was certain I had a grasp of it all. And I did. I went lease straight out of TNT. Looking back I wish I had run company for at least six months. There are a lot of variables. And a lot of issues that are out of your control. That being said. I'd ask for johnathan. He is not my fm. But ran a buddy of mine and was consistent. Get a solo fm. Some people have mentioned jack but he only take teams or instructors. FMs that are team focused don't do the best for solo guys
