    While you're brushing up on your flatbed skills before orientation, are you going to be able to simulate standing on top of a load pulling a tarp in 50 mph winds in -40 degree weather? :)

    I tried to come up with an accurate way to simulate just that thing and the closest I've been able to get so far is zipping my...err...manhood...up in a zipper while having my toes smashed with a large rock.

    Whatever you do do not agree to lease a truck under any circumstances they will try to force it on you but don't go for it
     
    Broke Down 69 Thanks this.

    Thank you for hitting that home again drvrtech77. It took probably 2 hours to read thru the 80 pages of this thread, and it was definitely clear from everyone that posted here that THE LEASE is not the way to go. And Broke Down 69 thank you. :)
