    Looking at their website it doesn't look good, more like a fly by night situation.

    Highlands Ranch is a very upscale bedroom community. They barely allow Kroger to run their delivery trucks to their stores, let alone a "trucking company" to exist within their borders. I'd be very suspicious - especially with the emphasis on "lease to own" or "outright purchase" of a truck. Buyer beware.

    Yes, snobsville indeed. Worked for company there 5 years ago. I call it a voluntary position. 3 months, lease walkaway by either party, I paid 23,000 dollars for a new engine inframe, never saw a single revenue sheet. Most of these guys work out of an office at their homes... this one above didn't even get out of bed or answer phones until 10 am local.... Last run, load in Phoenix cancelled, was told if I took another to LA, I would get paid, or just bring it back to Denver, deadhead. The truck was re-leased to another driver's brother, and he trashed it, inside and out... A real nice W9 that I had detailed, inside and out. So am a little more than leary about anyone who claims to be a Christian Trucking company, and based in Highlands Ranch. Still looking....

    thanks!

    Yeah. I don't trust any company that has their faith on their sleeve. Any proof you need lies in St Michael's Express or Hoosier Tradewinds. Hoosier is still in business, still destroying drivers financially. I don't know why anyone gives them the chance. The other company stranded drivers, didn't pay, etc. thankfully they are gone. They are all "Christian" until it comes to paying you or treating you right. Looking at the website, I wouldn't trust this company as far as I could throw it. There is too many danger signs. The location, the religious connotation, almost no info, I'd stay as far away as I could.

    Thanks for the gut assessment there,Joseph. Tired of the minefields...... still looking.... Like the pony express rider said when he changed horses," that one's been rode hard and put up wet!" .

    There are some good companies out of Colorado and Texas, ones that love you Colorado guys. Keep on looking. Remember, when it seems to be too good to be true, 11 times out of 10 it is. Lol.
