I'm not a Math whiz, but that would appear to be at least $60,000.00 for a VAN.

366 days for 2008, plus 4 years at 365 days per year, $250.00 per week $65,214.00 used my Calculator.

I read that during the gold rush it wasn't the miners that got rich. The ones who made the real money were the ones that sold supplies to the miners. This "deal" sounds like that concept updated for the expedite world.

Might be more profitable to lease trucks than haul freight.
They are stealing a page from NAVL.

16 tons and what do you get,

Another day older and deeper in debt.

Saint Peter don't call me cause I can't go,

I owe my soul to the company store.

Ain't that the truth..... maybe Express-1 is seeing a way to offset their up and coming losses?

I remember a post where I can lease out a truck and make something like $20K on it without a lot of work.

This price probably includes maintanance and all repairs for 60 months, if not it should. But then what do I know.

davekc · Mar 3, 2008

It will cover what the manufacturer warranty is. On a high milage vehicle they likely aen't covering anything past that.

NAVL were the masters at lease/purchases until they got busted and had the behinds sued.

Kind of a carbon copy of Midwestern, if anyone remembers them from Kansas. Their slogan was "Buy a truck for a dollar"
And the fools would flock.

For a dollar?? Hmmm, checking between seat cushions counting,,,give me two,,,make that three. Instant fleet owner.

Couldn't decide if ROI would matter?
