    I know, I know leasing is dancing with the devil. I was searching on Youtube and came across this company and decided to further research it. I'm on the fence about owning an older truck due to having to rebuild an engine or just deal with the uncertainty that every time I turn off the key I may need a tow truck on deck to bail me out. Wasatch leasing, I've seen a lot of sketch reviews that customers complain that they do not answer the phone but for the most part they were alright....feel free to give your input

    as long as you pay your bill they leave you alone. the couple of times I needed a question answered Bill Baker responded within a couple of days. my questions weren't urgent so that time frame was sufficient. he is the president and very accessible

    it worked for me, I can't say it will for you. I thought the contract was reasonably fair with no hidden surprises and Bill was very accommodating when I wanted to do some things to the truck.

    put in a 3000w inverter, turned the speed up, turned all the nanny state settings to as dumb as they could be made.... basically had Freightliner set all parameters that could be reset, reset to what I wanted
