Lease op for near 2 years. I kept above water nearly the whole time. Except when I took a week off. I thought I did ok, for my first contract lease. I learned a lot. I was under an illusion though. I thought I would be able to purchase the truck I was in when the contract was up. My fault for not reading the fine print stating I needed 12k down. I only had about 8k and I didn&#8217;t want to be tied to another contract at the time, as I felt &#8220;betrayed and lied to&#8221;. That was a few years back. <br \/>After escaping a job where the stress outweighed any of the freight I hauled, I&#8217;m back on the road with a decent company in my opinion and my experience. They have an interesting lease plan, and after reading the printed stuff I could, I am planning to take another swing at it, this time, there would be no balloon to pay at the end of the term. <\/p>\n<p>Once I sign it, I will post on here my experiences, I will also start , and try to be consistent with a biweekly podcast. I&#8217;ll post a link to it after I get it set up or direct message me and I can do it then if mods here believe it would be advertising on the forum.
