Fleece, as applied to trucking", means selling you a truck on time payments that they know full well you'll not be able to pay off; then selling it right over again to another "lamb" once you lose it or quit...... and on and on.
Basically, you are driving a company truck, paying all the bills for it (far above the value it would have if the traded or sold it on an upgrade) plus they don't have to pay you or contribute to things like health insurance, worker's comp, etc for you.
Plus, if I'm not mistaken, they get a tax credit for "business losses" every time a lease/op turns in his truck equivalent to the difference between what you've paid and the "agreed value" of the truck stated in the contract you signed.

Choose your authority wisely.
Careful research and knowing what your needs are will prevent a bad deal.
Too many jump at an opportunity to bail themselves out of a jam and then forget they need to drive, get choosey on the loads, spend too much time at casinos/truck stops..
Many failures already failed due to poor time management, got tired of dispatchers getting on them about late deliveries etc and decide to lease so "nobody can tell me what to do".
We all gotta answer to someone.

"Fleeced", in this context, just means you got ripped off.

Uhm you do realize he was trying to restore Catholic Rule over England right? He was actually fighting for the establishment not against it. True Irony is the guy who wrote V for Vendetta has attempted to rewrite history.

On November 5, 1605, a solitary figure is arrested in the cellars of Parliament House. Although he first gives his name as John Johnson, a startling series of events begins to unfold under torture. Guy Fawkes, as he is really called, is one of thirteen who have conspired to blow up the parliament, the King, and his Lords, thereby throwing the whole country into turmoil, out of which these traitors hoped to raise a new monarch who was sympathetic to their cause, and return England to its Catholic past.
Now much of what is portrayed in V for Vendetta is purely secular and about people seizing control, which to a point is a valid belief. What Fawkes was attempting to accomplish was Theological Rule from the Vatican.

It's a long-running joke that he was the last guy to enter parliament with honest intentions because he was intending to blow it up. It's a "government is full of crooks & tyrants" joke. It's the last sentence in the "Legacy" section of his Wikipedia page.
I've never seen V for Vendetta. A long time ago a friend gave me the DVD, but it was some bootleg that he made & it didn't play in my DVD player.
That's good to hear, and I hope it continues.
The thing to remember when reading about these lease purchase stories is that you only hear the bad stories for the most part. Happy people tend to stay quiet.
Leasing takes more discipline and involves higher risk. For every person you hear about failing in a lease purchase, there are plenty more doing well. Sometimes it's all about being a proper fit for the person.

There is a trend in this Country of old trucks being renovated and back to work. All that new gadget that you mentioned, keep the trucks at the dealer fixing egr troubles. Cab overs are making a comeback. That's why the price of old trucks are skyrocketing. I pull containers and in the port of Tampa, a Russian ship loads, Freightliners and Volvos going to eastern Europe. The Freightliners are compatible with Mercedes and the Volvos have parts in Europe. But that 1.5million is too expensive for $30000.
theres nothing like a long nose pete 379 or a ke w900
Well it would be a good a good idea that those who are doing good on a lease purchase deal should speak up unless there afraid there gonna get crucified lol.though I can understand getting crusifided doing a cr england lease. Injun has shared her experiance with us weather its been good bad or indifferent
