    Another question, how much driving experience do you have? Many Many L/O FAIL, because they have no business experience, like they said read a TON of other posts on Lease operating and best of luck..I would spend a couple dollars and have an Attorney look at it so you don't get hosed, and we have to read about your failure in a few months or your frustrations, be smooth on your shifting and consitent in driving you should be able to get decent $$$$

    Okay good, we see A LOT of people have a month of driving and want to get into Leasing a truck and if you have no prior business knowledge lease may be an issue, also don't forget you are going to need extra money for everything, you are going to need money for repairs, fuel, insurance, taxes and all that stuff, yes the weekly pay out may sound enticing but let's play devil's advocate for a moment, and ALL this is going to be on other threads, you have a truck and are driving down the road and blow a tire, how much does that cost to repair, $300 on the low end, depending on if it's new or used. Have you checked fuel prices lately? Also what if you have a MAJOR repair needed to the truck, let's say you loose a transmission or heaven forbid an Engine? Do you have money in reserve for that, just basic PM on a power unit is gonna be expensive..Just remember BIG TRUCKS MEAN BIG REPAIR BILLS...I honestly hope you come back and say I AM MAKING A KILLING and LIVING THE BIG LIFE, but the stats don't lie...
    Any attorney familiar with contracts would work, there are a lot of attorney's that specialize in the industry. Just some things to think about...Happy trails and keep us updated on your success
