Western express lease purchase....thoughts???
The company I run for now is doing the frac sand here in the north east. Pays better than any otr. I gross 1800 a week if I don't have any problems. Like this week I've been stuck since Friday. Ac clutch bearings ceased up and broke my serpentine belt. And thanks to the holiday no parts until tommrow (Monday). I've had nothing but bad luck here.... Antique equipment and poor maitnance = more down time than working.

Western express lease purchase....thoughts???
I'm also thinking of the lease purchase through western. Its not 156 months... Its 152 weeks...
152 weeks is just under 3 years. Are they saying your truck will be paid off by then or will you have a balloon payment that you'll need to get a loan for, at that point?

No balloon payment. Trucks yours with last lease payment. They have a insurance also. Where if you get hurt or work slows down it will cover any missed payments. Almost like an escrow account. They give you 1 payment then the more you make the more that goes into the account. So say at end of lease work slows down. No worries. You have $xxxxx.xx to cover your a$$ so you don't loose the truck.

I'm also thinking of the lease purchase through western. Its not 156 months... Its 152 weeks... And the pay is ok. Better than most. No trailer rental fee. 1.80 to 3.00 per mile. Depending on load value. It pays percentage at 80% gross. They have have trucks from 2012 to 2014 and range from 0 miles to 300k any more than 300k and they use them a trade ins. An old co worker is in the lease purchase with them and he brings home around 1300 a week. His wife is a book keeper and sets aside certain % towards fuel, maitnance, taxes.
