    Never ever least purchase a truck you will get bent over and it will hurt. Buy one when you got the money to walk in and pay cash for one.

      I would agree with half of what your saying. Don’t get into a lease with a company. But incorporate your self. Then do a lease to own through a bank with a dollar payout at the end. You can write off the lease against your corporate income and get back your tax money. It’s better than buying it outright and depreciating it each year. Also all your fuel is a write off and any repairs. But right now I would just be a company driver. Let them deal with cost of fuel and repair’s. economy is in a bad way. Government seems to want everything to collapse. Good luck. And stay safe.

    My personal opinion is that if you can't save for your deposit, you have no business trying to become an owner operator. You're not ready for business if you can not handle your personal finances.

    I have been driving with my CDL for about 2 months now . Being a company driver is the best for me . Less headaches and they pay for everything. You do your job the way it’s supposed to be without causing any accidents and eventually your pay will increase. I plan on switching company for more money once I have more experience.

      because he's a part of a company trying to convince you that these programs are ok. he's also saying you should lease if you're the LEAST qualified person to have your own authority in the first place.

    • @stayinyourlaneaudits5213
      @stayinyourlaneaudits5213 2 года назад +2

      Because if you have bad credit and can’t save for a deposit it’s a way to get a truck. Drivers saying it’s not good either got burned by not doing their research before getting into a bad lease or based off hearsay. It’s not the best way but if you have a plan and work hard you can definitely own your truck.after the lease. The key is making sure you understand the lease and choose a good company.

    Never, never…no driver should ever sign on to any company for lease purchase program…..They can do better on their own because all companies are out there to rip drivers off. When drivers drivers figure out that they are not a commodity. Then they will stand up. Don’t work for a company. Become your own boss go out and buy your own truck. You don’t need a company to carry your lease. You can buy an older truck and make better money.

    To this day I've never heard a good thing about Fleece Purchase. The biggest complaint I hear is many don't get the miles to make a good check and make their payments. Some say they pay more in tolls than what they get paid for the load. If you piss off your dispatcher they'll starve you for miles so you are forced to quit.

    Lease operator's have to work for one company exclusively and get trapped into being treated with a low priority. It's going to be tough or impossible to make it in today's market as a lease operator. Best to get your own authority and work with a brokerage that you can walk away from.
