    Most likely the driver that was in that truck is a company driver and was put into a new truck. Company drivers usually drive the new trucks and then it goes to the lease side.

    Thank you. I'm excited and nervous at the same time, but like anything else you really want in life, hard work, compromise and sacrifice is all part of getting to that end. I think I'll have no problem since it's something I've always wanted... a goal if you will. Sometimes things get in the way and that you can't control but for the most part, IMO if you fail, you didn't want it bad enough to try harder.
     
    BigKid2 Thanks this.

    Thanks. Payments will be similar to BK when he got his. About the same age though mine has a few more miles than his did at the time. And I don't have any misguided delusions about it being gravy. :biggrin_25525: I don't know if it's a turn in from another lessee or a company truck put out for lease. I was asked what color I preferred and was told they had one. Should have some pictures of it today sometime, and leave tomorrow for KC. I won't hijack what BK is doing here .. i.e. posting the same info as he has been doing to show it can be done and money can be made doing it, I'll just post on occasion to let folks know I'm doing it too. He and I live about an hour away from each other so I'm sure we will meet in person at some point and compare notes. If I fail, so be it, but unless you try something you never know if you will fail or not.
     
    ghettochild and BigKid2 Thank this.

    34 hour reset. If you take 34 hours off you reset your hours available and get a new full 70 hours to use.
