    It is possible, it helps to be a trainer on a dedicated account. I made money. Stayed in the black. But I know of scores of drivers who had no business being in a lease and went in the hole from week 2.

    I was talking to a guy that was in orientation at Roehl at one of our terminals who came from a lease at CRE... It was like a scary story, the only thing that was missing was a campfire and marshmallows :)

    And it all comes down to your relationship with dispatch.

    At least you are staying out of the hole. Keep at it.

    No I actually was home 3 days since I started could have been more but if the wheels aint turning your not earning ! If you gotta be home all the time lease purchase is not for you so stay away!!! You will fail miserably
