    Has the meaning of that term changed since I got off the road? It USED to be a euphemism for "highway hypnosis", that is, getting so hypnotized by the lines rolling past that you ended up so "out of it" that you ran the truck off the road or into stopped traffic, even if you weren't quite "asleep at the wheel". Not quite the scenario I think this guy is looking for...

    Why must there be 1 out there ?You want to purchase a 100,000 dollar piece of equipment you have no money and credit that won’t fly with a traditional financial institution.You are already to anyone with any logical financial sense not ready to make such a big purchase.And some believe there’s a LP company out there who cares so much for you they are going to take care of your best interest. They pray on people that just want it now and believe that they will make so much money there’s no way to fail until they go a week without a paycheck because mechanical issues remember it helps if you have a warranty but if the truck is down you aren’t making money Or take off a to much now you’re behind and take you 2or3 weeks just get caught up.Because your payment is so high because you didn’t have money to pay down to lower operating costs.You’re married to that truck for 6 or 7 years then if you do stick it out you have a worn out truck that’s ready for a $25,000 engine rebuild

    There are many companies out there that will be happy to set you up in a L/P program. They will lease you a truck which may have only 250,000 miles on it. They will get you semi cut rate insurance, a fuel card, and provide you with your choice of 2 or 3 loads to haul.
    BUT, you can be sure that you will give the company back most of that settlement for every load you haul and if there's a little left, well, that's your pay. Your cats will probably eat better than you.

    ...and I'm living on the freedom of the road with my cats, owning a business, and purchasing a truck. What could be better?

    Stay a company driver . Go find a long haul company like Leonards, Holland Ent or Climate Express etc and just live in the truck without the headaches.
