Roehl lease purchase good or bad?

Let's see...
Is it a lease purchase?
Yes.
Of course it's bad. Go read the literally thousands of threads about leases....

 

Every leas purchase can be, sure. The reason they exist is these large companies keep finding suckers.
All a lease purchase is, is a driver treated as a company driver, but having to pay for the equipment.
A true lease can make it sure. But a glorified company driver lease. Well some buck the odds, but not many.

 

Take a different direction.

Every lease at every company is designed to profit the company.
If you have to do a lease/purchase, do it through a third party that has no interest in the company you are working for.

Better yet...
Save enough for a down payment and buy a truck.
Leases through the company you work for are for suckers and losers, period.

They work out for 5-10% of those that do it.
Do you consider yourself in the top 5-10% of business people that 'might' make it work?

Even if you are in that class, consider this.
Many companies will reduce the miles when you get close to completing your contract on the lease, making it impossible to make the final payments and forcing you into default unless you have saved a LOT of money to compensate.

 

If you want to play owner operator work for a 1099 outfit that lets you book your own loads.
