    $3900 per month for a truck is a bit much. But that weekly fuel bonus brings it down. I think that’s how they keep their drivers from leaving. If you stay on you get that bonus. If you leave you have to crack that $3900 nut all by yourself.

    Yeah, you can do what you want with the truck as long as you can "rent to own" the truck from Success leasing. If you can make the payments then it doesn't matter to them. Maybe leasing from a dealer would be cheaper? If you have the credit to go to a dealer?

    I was a company driver at Greatwide several years ago. Greatwide at that time had the purchase program (not lease purchase) and everything is in the drivers name, including the title and loan. At that time, Greatwide even covered the down payment, which was $2000.00 they had worked out with the finance company.
    Maybe they still have a similar or same program.
    Last time I talked to one, some had been there 15 or more years and some left with their truck after a couple of months. What the drivers liked was you had the choice of choosing one of Greatwide trucks or choose one from anywhere you want. The drivers I worked with all chose used trade- in trucks at dealerships such as Freightliner, Volvo, International.

    The truck payments are ridiculous!!!! You only make money if you run nearly 3000 miles according to this document

    That's high. Atlas plan is $450 - $550 weekly.
    Also have to watch for balloon payment.
