I looked at that option and felt that the company that would employ me and lease me the truck was brutally expensive. I then looked at a totally independent leasing co and found that they were a lot cheaper but still way more expensive than traditional financing.

If you have the werwithal, business savvy, and self discipline this is the way to go. If not hire on as a company driver and go to school on them till you have all of the above.
