    To you both , I only posted to help ppl who wanted the help. Not to be in a pissing contest. Ok I own my truck. Second I just posted actual numbers from crst,celadon etc . 99.9 percent of lease are the same its made for the company. Third if you cant post the great company you work for, not even to help other drivers makes me wonder... but either way I dont care (if I lease a car its not mine till I buy it, if I lease a truck its not mine till I buy it).. to anwser your question I was never sore at any company I just felt it would be better to be my own boss

    The beginning question was who has best lease purchase plan for someone with 6months otr . I just told the truth no one!!! He or she need to learn the system first. Thats just honest advice. There will always be guys or gals who dont listen. But good luck to you two hope your in the 10 percent who make it.

    lease works better for some, depends on your situation plus lease gives more warranties and there are some who prefer to lease then buyout and get another new truck then hire a driver for the older truck.

    Also is it hard to make one single post? like #### you do 3+ post every time you say something instead of just combining it into one.

    RATFLMAO!!! A mil. miles, that's just broken in, LOL, seriously, your telling me that putting 120k miles on per year and I'm only going to get 8 years or so out of it, then what the bone yard? How many miles does your truck have on it? If you don't want a pissing contest put your little pecker away, LOL.

    yeah there are a lot of trucks out there with over 1mil

    the trainer I had has 1.3mil on his right now AND he trains new drivers who are hard on trucks and only reason he will be getting rid of his truck soon is because of the emission laws going into effect in CA

    It just drives me nuts with all these lease advisers saying the same thing over. and over, like they were the first to say it, LOL. I would bet most of them never even tried a lease.
    IMHO, if you have any business sense, minimum personal bills and obligation, get with the right company, have little or no credit / cash, then a lease may be a good option.
    What most of these advisors advise, is to go out and buy a used truck for 20k or so. What they don't mention is that the truck may at any moment need 10-20k's in repairs. I bet a lot of people fail this way too. Buy a used truck, drive it for a month, only to find out the head is cracked and the clutch is shot, etc. It's a gamble either way, that's business. If you have 35-40k available then I agree, but a used truck and always have 15k in reserve for major repairs.

    Not even half make it to a million without inframe im not saying it never happens but any season driver will tell you this when they reach them high mile the more work you will have to do it really depends on type of truck. Type of load, weight of load. My truck has 324765 on it as of today. Guy with the puppy pic if im right you work for ffe which is now kllm in jackson ms off hwy 49 right

    Right! The OP has six months experience. I waited three years before I decided to get into leasing. I went with JCT because of their true walk-away lease. There's no risk for someone who does their research and knows how to work. So the best advice may be for the OP to get through at least ONE winter before signing a lease. He looks like a "one and done" on here though.

    I looked into buying my own truck earlier this year. I decided that I didn't want a clapped-out 500k mile truck with some sketchy after-market warranty. When JCT came out with their variable-lease option, I knew that I wasn't going anywhere. I created a thread detailing my experiences in lease/purchase. Here's a link to the Frequently Asked Questions page:
