    That's true...but if you and I are doing the exact same job, making $200k, yet i run 150000miles to your 40000 miles, I wouldn't be trying to have a peter contest with you.

    There are many threads telling drivers to stay away from leases! Leases are only good for the company! hope this is a lesson learned! just break the lease, lick your wounds and move on!, want to be a O/O? go to a dealership and buy a truck!

    Read this book, it is free. http://rawze.com/book/The First Time Class-8 Lease-Purchase Owner-Op Guide.pdf

    It may just help if it is not already to late.

    To all company drivers that want to be an o/o .
    Work for the best company you can get on with , this may take some time.
    Then get your finances in order so you have credit.
    Then save enough money for a good down payment
    Buy a truck on your own not tied to any company lease
    Research a good o/o carrier to lease to
    There's a lot more work involved like selecting the right truck and deal but you will have time to learn that
    If you can do this you will probably be successful
    If not you will struggle like most of us did till we learned
