My lease adventure

Crazytrucker77 I just wanted to say thank you for starting this thread! I’ve spent the past two days while I do a certain unload (I haul hazmat and it takes a minimum of 2 hrs to finish) yesterday it took me 5! I really enjoy reading about your endeavors and it makes me hopeful about either leasing or lease purchase with a company. Of course after reading all the fine print and seeing if it’d be worth it. You’ve talked about some things I’ve already researched about and brought up much more that I had no idea about. I just starting trucking in Sept of this year and it runs in the family. Hoping to become O/O eventually. Also thinking of changing freight type and going heavy haul/oversize. Have a few companies in mind. I’m glad I finally got caught up to the end of this thread so I’m up to date. By the way, congratulations on the new trailer! Proud of you for sticking through the ups and downs and thank you for it as well. Just shows the new guys like me that it still can be done just have to have the drive to do so! Also I don’t know if you mentioned it, but what did you swap your truck out for and what did you get?

 

You’ve grown to enjoy the automatic?

 

Good to hear! I haven’t drove an auto yet and I’m not exactly in a huge rush to try it out. Haha

 

Thats funny. I’m sure I’ll be the same way but I’ve just heard stories from guys at my company hauling loaded tanks and they said when they come to a stop the surge from the tank makes the truck go from neutral/1st into second and back to reverse

 

I am happy for you to come this far. I hope you have a great it year and that you can build a great relationship with your son. I hope you do check in from time to time and let us know how things are going. I got one enjoy your thread.

 

I hope you check in as well! I’ve enjoyed reading about your experience and hope your relationship with your son becomes a great one! It’s a special one to have!
