    You Sir......seem to be the exception to the rule......in the minority....why that is.......? Ive no clue.......I do know that these lease purchases tend to be , for the majority , have built - in leanings that favor the company and that they are generally , for whatever reasons , result in extreme duress for the majority of folks signing up for them.......that may be a result of the 3 things that u have listed working together and resulting in negative results.....but my feeling, and this I can only derive from the testamony of others who have engaged in L/ P contracts........but....I can say the same regarding those who frequent Casinos as well........

    Some percentage who have visited casinos have done nothing but lost......but another percentage could never speak poorly of the same place , where they came out way on top......Im thinking its similar in the lease purchase realm........

    No, and here's why.
    In an honest casino, you have a chance to win if you're lucky.
    In an honest LP, you will win if you work.
    Luck has nothing to do with my success or the success of others. In an honest game, the difference is between those who would work and those who would not.

    So ,basically all that the lease purchase programs need to be shown for the truely profitable and fruitful programs that they are, is simply a more dedicated and HARD WORKING pool of drivers that sign up for them?

    Actually it only speaks to the ignorance of those that fail. The first step on that road to failure is thinking it's about the truck. The truck doesn't have flippen thing to with it. Leasing is a business and the trick is just an overhead cost.

    People fail because they have no clue as to what a business is, much less how to manage one. They think it's about getting a truck, as you and most everyone else on TTR does.

    Dude, you haven't even done one, so what's your beef?
    Second, I specifically said not all were good. So why twist my words to make a invalid point about something you know nothing about?

    Put down the beer and move away from the computer.

    Next question , now that weve arrived here......at this point.....do you think the companies that have lease purchase prefer that a driver in their program succeed and reach the terms end? Or some other outcome?

    It's all about the money. Trucking companies have no intrest in a fleet of used trucks.
