{"replyTo":"","text":"If you buy your own truck you pay your own insurance and you don’t get big business discounts on anything. You don’t have contracting tools. You’ll generally pay full price. You also won’t have a citations team so if you get fines or miss tolls or weigh station fees no one can tell you to keep you moving. The cost will continue to stack up. I wouldn’t buy unless you have a lot of experience and surplus of money and want the truck to be your mobile home. But I don’t know who leases in Maine. Sounds cold abs lonely. Brr.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"My truck revenue is $160000 and I’m just under 100000 miles on the truck. I’m making just above $1.60 a mile but that’s insurance included in the lease. I’m not paying insurance, renting a brand new APU and I get discounts. Leases aren’t bad. Leases allow new drivers to be very competitive. And old ones with poor business acumen to keep moving.
