    I don't think that FedEx CC is going to allow you to lease on a 15 year old truck. And since it is not painted in the correct colors for fedex, throw in the fact that you would have to have the truck painted FedEx White to lease it to them.

    there are osme companies out there that will take on an older truck, but you are going to have to search a bit to find them. Many companies will allow nothing more than 3-4 years old and a few will permit older trucks in good shape. But they are the exception, not the rule.

    Sorry to be the guy that empties his canteen into the fire pit, but that's the way things go.

    What about the transport of inter model containers? Have you looked into that? I know sense you live on the west coast there has to be plenty of port's or rail yards around your area.

    Thats an avenue you may want to look into.....

    Just though of that today ... It may or may not be something to look at for a short term thing...
