I've resorted to calling Lone Mountain. Not sure if my chances are any better getting approved by them than any other financing company. The financing company that approved me, approved me for 30% down and 17% interest. Going to see if Lone Mountain will accept me for a new truck, and if so, then I'll be going to another carrier that I'm about set up with, they don't do lease purchase but it's a bit better of a deal than Tri State.

88% of gross, $650/mo brand new trailer but it's a lease, so I could own it eventually free and clear, and $220/week cargo and liability - and the best part is, I can book my own freight if I want, and I'd get 90% instead of 88% for that load.

Tri-State seems like a good deal, but I don't think I'd own the trailer, and I don't think I'd get to find my own loads.

$220 a week is insane for cargo and liability. I pay $260 a month..Shop around and don't use anything from these companies you can get for yourself.

Suppose I pay 280/Mo and get 80℅ of the load instead? Or 78℅? Can I get cargo and trucking liability without having my own authority?

I spoke to the owner through email on Saturday evening. I happened to ask a question through the website form, about the price of truck leasing, and he replied back within 20 minutes. On a Saturday evening. I found that impressive.

I will find out about warranty and mechanics. I'm not worried about being fronted money. LP is nothing down, and I have money in the bank. The truck needs to still have the manufacturer warranty though, or it will probably be a no deal for me.

Voyager Nation wants to pay you 13% less if you don't bring your own trailer. That's a little bit nuts. 3% at most is fair.

Hey how is that Voyager Nation I hear they're a good company? Are they stable and worth my time of I signed on to them?
