    Sfi contract, I could take my truck elsewhere true but after it being in the shop for over 14 weeks since may 2015 and me having absolutely no intention of keeping this truck with about a year and change left why try and learn a new system somewhere else.

    I'm planning on hanging up the keys when this truck lease is finished so I don't care to tough it out until then provided I can still get to the house when I want and cover costs.

    Well technically you can turn the truck in now and as long as it's in good condition you won't get charged anything except maybe a reconditioning fee..

    Wouldn't you also take a hit on your credit for bailing on or failing to meet the terms of the lease?

    No it's not they don't report it to your credit let's state facts here..I personally know.. When I first started here less than year in I was gonna go buy a truck at lone mountain.. Long story short I turned my truck into green bay where I got it from and flew home.. spoke to my rep at the time the lovely Patty and she said it's no repo or no ding against your credit as long as any and all repair bills are paid if there isn't enough money in your MMA account... Fast forward month later the truck at lone mountain wasn't as advertised so sfi rented me a car and I went and I got my truck back which was on the lot for re-lease...

    I must be crazy cause I would run my truck for a 1.50 all day long.

    I just went over all my expenses... Including car payments, house note, truck note, gas, tax...etc... I'm getting everything done at 1.21 with 2500 miles a week. So .30 over that goes straight into my pocket and I'm building equity at the same time. I guess I'm just not that greedy and don't need to make 1k a day, everyday.

    And I fix my wn truck so I don't know if this is where the difference is happening... But if I can run a lap every week of Chicago to Kansas to Louisville to Canton back to Chicago and have another day for a short local run and clear 3-3500 gross I'd be a real happy camper

    They take your depoit.
    They take your mma.
    They will charge a reconditioning fee of 5k.
    I've heard also negative report to credit bureaus.

    Also it burns a bridge and could reflect negative in work history.

    I hope to hang up keys for good but I'm 45 so I will never say I won't drive again I'm just not planning on it.

    Besides I signed a contract and I intend on fulfilling it as long as it's feasible with SNI.

    But if or when I can't take off when I want and also make enough revenue to cover costs I'll turn it in.

    Do you already have an idea of what you're going to, or want to, do once you hang up the keys?
