That's what you want to hear.
Just grab a truck and go for it.
We don't need to know how it works out.
We already know how it's gonna end.poppapump1332, Coffey and JonJon78 Thank this. -
If you had that skill you wouldn't be asking these questions. Your business model would give you the answers you want. -
And why USA Truck?
.Coffey Thanks this. -

Op, you are not asking nearly enough questions. From what I gathered you don't have any otr experience so why would you put yourself on the hook for a truck when you don't even know if you like it or not? Next why do you want to be a lease-op? It really doesn't seem like this is something you have thought about before today.
As for lease purchase. How many lease purchase Celedon/Hyndman lease purchase ops just had their nearly paid off trucks repo'd. There is a lady that was 2 or 3 payments away from finishing her lease purchase and lost her truck in that deal. When push comes to shove until that title is in your name and in your hands that truck is collateral for the company to are leasing it from.
So if your only reason for wanting to lease a truck is all the bags of money your going to collect ask yourself why would this company be passing this opportunity onto me, after all they already have the truck.Coffey and Western flyer Thank this. -

Ask the carrier what they pay for, what they deduct, and what you'll have to get on your own. Ask them how they pay and what they pay. Figure on making 80% of what they tell you you'll make (they're always going to tell you best case scenario, 80% may even be optimistic) and then with all of that information, ask yourself what you can afford and what you can't.Coffey Thanks this.
