    Do you know much about bank loans? Like what most banks would require before giving out a 80,000 loan

    why in the hell would u want to or even consider a lease purchase? they are so 1 sided it's unreal, besides u pay 2-3 times more for the truck than u do if u go to a dealer & buy it on ur own

    I think 2-3 times more is a bit of an exaggeration.

    Yeah it's not quite that much. Just an uneducated quick guess the one here at ACT is somewhere around 10 to 15% more maybe. I'm sure there are worse deals out there.

    I know a lot of guys that seem to be happy with CRST Malone lp program. Just as long as you are a business minded person you will succeed with it

    Don't want to stomp on any toes here Drifter,

    (full disclosure) I haven't work for them but have talked to dozens of solo CRST lease guys who are starving. Some have compaired them to "only a notch above CR England." Not that you can't make it, but you'll need to run a team as a trainer. Of course trainers do good because they get a percentage of the trainee's pay.

    No contest. ACT really sounds like a class ACT. I've been following them for a while. If I was out east I'd give them a call myself.

    Best of luck
