I am not disagreeing with him, or you. As a matter of fact. Just the opposite. I was simply asking people such as yourself who obviously know more than I do about how I should play the hand I am now holding..

Thank you for the advice Mr. Hero..
However at this juncture I am pretty much already committed.. that being said, there must be a way for a driver to become successful as a lease purchase operator. And I am hoping to reach out to some of those individuals and that they will share with me the details and recipe on how a driver can do this.. I currently have a desire and a need to survive and succeed as a L/P operator, and any and all the help I receive to do that is greatly, greatly appreciated -
@Opus might have some input

Go read some of the threads that @ Sons Hero suggests. "there must be a way for a driver to become successful as a lease purchase operator." It's called Fleece Purchase for a reason. It is set up for the driver/lessee to fail, does not matter what the driver does. Almost no one makes it and those were probably a mistake where the company missed cutting off the driver's income before the last payment was made. -

1. lease your truck independently of whatever trucking company you sign with. That way, if you don’t like the rules to the playground, you take ALL of the toys and go to another playground. On your operating contract, you will be called an owner operator.
2. You as the driver, get a guaranteed pay for miles, like $.40/mile and every thing else goes to the truck. This way you ALWAYS have income instead of the lease payments snowballing when you have a bad week, wiping out all income.
3. You have 100% control of all things maintenance. The biggest killer of the average lease operator is when they pull into a company terminal or a designated shop, the service writer makes the maintenance decision. They will empty out your maintenance accounts. This is lethal to a lease operator.
4. Your company has its own contracts and dedication customers. If you have to rely on load boards as your bread and butter, you are probably going to go broke.
