      Technically it’s not a walk away lease. Most companies don’t offer that and even though they tell you it’s a walk away there still are charges that will occur. Please feel free to email me and I would gladly explain in more detail. Email me your phone number I’ll call.

      Well I can tell you my biggest worry is a mechanical failure that I am liable for that may not be covered by the warranty and/or the maintenance agreement. I am not concerned too much about if or how much equity I am building in the truck. I am more interested in the business as an income stream consistently producing as long as I am in the truck. But if for any reason I had to leave before term is up, I am concerned that legally I could personally be on the hook for more than I am prepared to pay... @@iamtheflyrabbit

      I couldn’t agree with you more. If I’ve claimed that through any of my videos, I am sorry, but I understand that I am a lease operator. Unfortunately, that is how Swift labels everything owner operator. But once again, I don’t know if I would ever want to be a true owner operator, because with the lease, something goes out, it gets fixed, but we’re still making somewhat the same amount of money. Not arguing, not making any kind of stupid discussions about this, but there are reasons why people do different things. This is why I do what I do.

      What you describe sounds illegal. I'm also Swift, but company. I don't ever get those types of miles now with live loads and unloads. I was interested in Lease Operator at one time, but not anymore. You should never lease with a company that controls your miles. Just ask the Prime LO's. I've not heard good stories about their program. I don't know about Swift's program, but they haven't done anything to boost my confidence that it is the right thing to do. And you are correct: LO is just company, except you are making the truck payment for them, no health insurance/benefits, and ALL responsibility is now on you. The planning and dispatch are the same as company.

      I stopped working my full clock after I started to feel the effects on my body. Things got better when I limited my work day to 12 hours max and walked 2 times a day. Id walk while getting loaded/unloading, at the end of my shift and in the middle of my shift.
