    I see these rookies who got it all figured out. You will need a revolving line of credit 15-30k or you have no business on the road. Your company will will leave you high and dry after the tow. Too much crap happens on the road.

    Waiting lines in major cities for repairs is 5 days minimum for them to get some kid in his 20s to look at it, not fix it, not order parts, look at it. Vandals, collisions, rentals, tires, brakes, apu, def systems designed to fail, motors requiring 5 common break down issues fixed (look on YouTube), and I am sure I missed others.

    Yes there are some nice people in the business that will protect you as much as they can. But there are so many drivers and situations a lease will not help you with.

    so....you're anti-lease i take it..???

    that's ok, many of us try to persuade those that want to, NOT TO.....

    but so many got their heads up their ###, they will not listen, yet they come here for advice.

    why bother?

    they wasted our time, by having us read their leasing questions.

    they wasted website band width asking their questions about leasing.

    then they just end up doing the lease, cuz they wanna be their own boss as they sick and tire of "working for da man"...

    it's un-nerving the numbers of newbies that want to go to CDL school and graduate and get a shiny new truck.

    they don;t know shine from shinola

    i say, let them do as they wish.....and cry a river of crocodile tears to those that have nothing better to do than to listen to them, coddle them and wave a magic wand to make the butt hurt go away.

    Only one thing I disagree with, nobody wasted your time by you reading their post, you did that all by yourself.

    when you retire, like i did, you read cuz you like to read or you wanna see what others have said.

    when you are working like you perhaps, you got better things to do...

    leave me alone, i earned my rights to speak my mind.

    You do not use credit to repair a truck, that is the fastest way to lose your ###. I dont use credit for anything, if I can't pay cash for it I can't afford it.

    Your company should leave you 'high and dry after the tow'
    You signed the papers, it's your responsibility.
    One company I was leased on to said I could charge repairs to their accounts. Upon reading that part in the contract, it said they would charge 25% for the privilege. Another was 50%.
    I always took care of my own bills.
