    Truck wouldn't start this morning. Good thing I'm already at TA. Getting it looked at now. Turns over, just won't fire. He's trying to reset the computer because there is nothing obvious that's wrong.

    I need a new ECM. I wonder how much that is plus install that I'm not paying for?

    I have kept up with your thread and have looked at the older posts, can't seem find the break down of the lease. Can you give us a break down of the lease and the requirements.

    I'm broke down now...lol

    3yrs term
    $271 weekly truck
    $90 insurances
    $40 plates
    $0.15 per mile full warranty program.
    Pre emission frtlinrs Columbia and classics
    90cpm all miles
    Fsc all loaded miles.
    No balloon. Once it's paid off, rate per miles increases to $1.16 and you are responsible for your maintenance.

    I have virtually zero stress about going in a "hole" unless I dig it myself...aka vacation

    Motel AC won't work, it's blowing hot air only. Had to crack a window.

    How about tolls, is there a credit check, do you have to drive as a company driver first, can you use existing medical card, and is hazmat required?

    I was in a hotel the other night where the heat barely worked.

    Thanks for your time.

    Yes, approved tolls are covered.
    No credit check
    No hazmat required
    Yes, 6 weeks as a company driver to let you learn the lanes and the system, and make sure you like it before signing.
    If you don't like it, just tell them, and you can convert back to company fleet driver.
