    I'm thinking they might be a plant To make the company look better. I honestly can't think of anyone in their right mind that would do something like that

    You've been driving with them three months and have been home for two resets and a couple overnights? That's not much of a life dude. Is that by choice. Personally I like to go home for four or five days a month. Can you choose your loads? Do they have a home time policy or can you choose your home time? I live in AZ, do they run mostly south Midwest and west? A ton of east coast? Thanks in advance. :)

    We run all over the lower 48, Alaska and Canada. You set your own home time and where you run. I have been running three weeks out and one week home from the start. There is a caveat though, they will pull your lease if your not turning a profit for too long.

    At nine and one half months I have the truck 50.4 % paid for, home time by choice both wife and myself know what we are trying to do. Moglar needs to stop ranting I know the truck is not mine till paid for.

    This may surprise him but some of us have that stuff called cognitive capacity I just choose a different path the early part of my life. I served in the corps so he and everybody else can have free speech although in his case the right to remain silent would be the more intelligent option.

    You have no equity in the truck cause its not yours. You have no right to it. You can't take it where you want. They can take the truck back whenever they want even if you have 1 payment left. Do you know why......cause you have no rights to it.

    PS. I was in the Army. Being a vet doesn't change anything. BTW if you are a vet.....there are tons of business financing out there to help you secure a loan for a truck.

    If you opt to pretend to own a truck.....more power to ya. Good luck.

    EXACTLY!!!!!! They can repo their truck for whatever reason they deem necessary & then turn around & sell it to someone else. It's a revolving door 95% of the time. When they take it, I lose everything u put into it with nothing to show for it. Prime example of why l/p's are bad & set u up for failure. Just my 2 cents

    I bought my truck through Sammons lease purchase program, own it free and clear. I'm still at Sammons because it's the best fit for me. It amazes me how people with no knowledge of the company have so many negative things to say about it when there are alot of MEN that have been cut loose from here but still have only good things to say about it. These are guys that screwed up but took account of their actions .

    I've never worked for sammons, my point about l/p is in general. If u have no money to go out & buy a truck on ur own then the chances of completing a l/p are slim plus ur paying @ least triple the amount of the value of the truck. Just doesn't make any kind of sense to do something like that

    I agree that most LP programs are a rip off, but not all. I personally would have either had to liquidate assets or take out a loan to buy a truck off a lot. I might have saved two or three grand doing that, but would also not have had a way out if I wasn't able to make it work. It aggravates me when people come on a company specific thread to bash them when they don't have any true knowledge of that company.

    So basically what ur saying is u don't mind paying 3x the actual value of the truck & have a huge risk?
