    This is an effort in futility. I’m done explaining that no one gives a #### about them. I care about me. Not teaching some idiot a lesson. And not some silly nonsense about the downfall of society.
     
    TB John, 88 Alpha and Cherokee65 Thank this.

    And you can’t even say they learned a lesson. They just go to another company. And start the whole cycle all over again.

    You are correct, many do. The other company "screwed them over", but they know what happened, and what to look out for.....:eek:

    I don't know friends. I did good at SRT until David "I'm a sick piece of excrement" Parker slammed the doors on myself and others. I had a truck through TEL but wasn't able to take it to A&A Express due to their outrageous contract demands despite A&A offering to front them the fees and allowing me to work them off. The only reason I lost out at A&A a year before my lease was to end is because I got into it with a dispatcher whom was one of the company president's boys. Imagine a person having such a giant lady part that he feels the need to destroy you and they let him. I left to keep from going to prison. Seems it's just getting worse with these lease purchases and I'm so glad to be gone. If I had to drive again, I'd sooner save up, find a truck, take a mechanic to look at said truck and then decide from there.

    Look down, look down
    That lonesome road
    Before you travel on
    Look up, look up
    And greet your maker
    'Fore Gabriel blows his horn
    Weary of toting such a heavy load
    Trudging down that lonesome road
    Look down, look down
    That lonesome road
    Before you travel on
    Weary of toting such a heavy load
    Trudging down that lonesome road
    Look down, look down
    That lonesome road
    Before you travel on
    Before you travel on
     
    TB John and Lonesome Thank this.

    That is correct they are definitely geared to benefit the company
    Yes it's true it's an easy way for a driver to potentially own a truck.
    Though they do make it very hard sometimes.
    Mainly because of safety scores and cameras.

    If the financial risk / reward is tilted towards reward why would the company be willing to let that profit go to someone else?
