{"replyTo":"","text":"Leave Prime asap.\nIf you leasing a truck thru them... Return it asap.\nNow, this all hasta happen at the same time... Find another company to lease a truck \"on to\" (not lease from and not lease purchase).\nYou will need to...\n1. Find a company to lease onto (remember, your in demand...) Interview them ask questions, don't be afraid to talk about money. \n2. Locate a used truck to buy ( online...\ntruckpaper.com )\n3. Buy used truck, less than 500k miles. Do NOT let the salesman talk you into a truck that you don't want (he wants to get rid of certain trucks). Get a warranty 4-5 years unlimited mileage.\nBad credit, expect 9-11% interest rate.\nExpect 1500$ - 1650$ monthly payments (anything higher your getting screwed)\n3. Take your \"new\" truck to whatever company you got hired onto.\n\nMore advice...\nDo not lease purchase a truck.\nIf you and a bank own the truck, you can take it with you.\nGet a good accountant.\nAsk questions, don't guess, don't pretend you know what the experienced guys are talking about.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Lastly, when you take your truck and lease it to a company, you will run under their authority. You won't need your own.\nKeep accurate records, in other words keep receipts and credit card statements together sorted by month and year.\nTake the time to learn how IFTA works.\nLearn how to do maintenance repairs on your truck.\nFind a decent local mechanic near home.\nBuy your parts online.\n(I own a 2005 Peterbilt 379, I buy 1 out of 100 parts from peterbilt, everything else is aftermarket online.)\nCompare prices and keep organized lists for everything (sort by type of business then alphabetical.\nPhone book people figured it's the best way to do it, so we know it works)\nAnd don't buy stuff at \"truck stops\"\nI do my PMs myself, takes 1 hour. Buy filter and oil at Tractor Supply. Grease at Autozone.","replyToPid":0}

147103 发表于 2020-04-07 01:03:21 Those big companies do that to everyone who does lease purchase from them. That's why they have such high turn over rate. Your definitely on right track. If you do buy truck. Make sure you read what warranty covers.  As far as carrier. What kind of trailer you want to pull?
