I was leasing to own a truck the boss called and said bring the truck to the yard. when i got there he told me tp get my personal things out. he had another employee to dirve me to meet someone to pick me up.
The next day I called the office. I was told I was fired. I have a contract with the company to buy this truck. Is this a breach of contract?

Whether this is breach of contract depends on what--exactly-the contract says. All contracts are governed or controlled by their precise language or terms; you need to an attorney to review exactly what this contract said as well as the circumstances of your termination to see if the contract was violated. There could easily be a contract to buy a truck in which they could terminate it--and you--at any time, for any reason, without penalty; alternately, there could be such a contract that prevents them from terminating it or you unless *you* first breach its terms in some way. There could be a contract in which you could be terminated from employment, but they then have to give you a chance to buy the truck (e.g. by paying off any remaining balance); etc. There is no way to answer your question in the abstract; you need a lawyer to review this particular contract in detail.
