    when something goes wrong with it, it's YOUR truck. don't do exactly as you are told, and it's OUR truck.

    Leasing a truck is the same thing as a company driver paying for all the tires, fuel, maintenance, washes, and fines!

    You really haven't read much in this forum have you?

    Las Vegas is built on the same attitude "i know I can beat the odds because I have a system"

    Some do make it but for every 1 that does there are 1000 that don't.

    If you want to tell yourself that by leasing a truck from someone makes you an owner/operator than you just hop right on in the water is fine!!

    But when the big fish swallows up everything you own don't come crying to me telling me that they screwed you out of all you had and now you cant even get a job sweeping the floor in a trucking company's office. Because I for don't want to hear it you have been warned so now the ball is in your court.

    Nobody in trucking is kissing you because they love love you . They are kissing you because they are getting ready to screw you.

    If you remember that you will go along way in this business.

    Truck dealer's sell trucks trucking companies move freight . That is the it works best in my 28 years of experience .

    That is about the best I can help.

    WHY? if you don't have the cash to do it your self why the F would you lease/fleece a truck?

    The new rally call is....

    REMEMBER ARROW!

    That article should scare you enough to go it on your own! Besides if you don't have about $20,000-$30,000 saved after buying or leasing the truck you don't need to attempt to be an O/O or L/P. No operating capital in the bank means you aren't ready to "own" a truck or a business as you can not live pay check to pay check!
