Otr or local I DONT THINK LEASING is a good option... why would you pay to work instead of getting pay for.it? Go with a company, save some money and then buy your own truck...
That's my 0.02Texas_hwy_287 Thanks this. -
You’d have to be very sure about having steady, profitable work for it.
I used to see an O/O doing shuttle runs for UNFI. But he was using a sleeper cab and it was only temporary for a few months until they were able to fill the run with a company driver. -
I run otr with day cab w9. I still make money.

I live in Tacoma wa...I was thinking I could just get a daycab and maybe go on a load board or two and just run from Seattle to Portland and back figured with a daycab it would be cheaper
-
Daycabs are fine and you can haul more freight, weight. With all that extra dough you can take your 10 in a motel, hotel.

My current gig uses daycabs. We do quite a lot of overnight or 2-day runs. The hotel instead of a sleeper in a truck stop is really very nice. When I go O/O again (it's not if) I will be using a daycab. As mentioned, that little extra capacity, maneuverability, and I've gotten spoiled, being able to sleep in air conditioning or heat, with a shower when I get up in the morning.
