    Thanks again... Not now but maybe another time you could inform me on the whole leasing a truck topic. I know what it means to lease but, trying to see the pros & cons of the whole thing.

    In a nutshell, you lease, forget about going home. 600-700 /week lease payment. Better have serious bank to back you up. Tire blows, 750 bucks. Engine break down?? Good luck. Learn on the company's dime not yours.
     
    Hoodoo Voodoo and x1Heavy Thank this.

    Rather than lease, just do a purchase with Cardinal/Greatwide.

    Don't need any cash; just 12 mos. experience. Sometimes they do require $2000.00 down payment and sometimes that's waived.

    Green is a great company, one of my better friends drives team for them, he's bringing home $1100-1300 a week, after taxes. They run mainly Volvos...

    So it's safe to say that your friend is as happy as one could be with driving for Green Transport? I mean good company?
