Quality carriers l/p.

There's a couple programs at QC. QC lease is the lease purchase and keys to quality is where you get the financing for the truck and everything is in your name, only catch is, quality backs the loan kinda like a co signer. So you do have the option to take your truck to another company IF the other company will agree to take qualitys place as co signer. Or if you can get the financing on your own after being in the truck a little while. The DB Kustoms trucks are all fine and good IF they actually go thru the trucks like they claim to. They've done much better the last little while, but there were a bunch of issues when they first started up. You are getting an older truck usually that has been allegedly completely redone.

 

I did it for 2 years. $515 a week truck payment. Low freight rates. Ran my ### off. Stayed out weeks at a time. I averaged about 8 or 9 hundred a week about 8 months into it. They run you good at first then they don't care. He's the deal. $5000 down, they run good til you have $5000 in escrow. You quit, turn truck in. They made $10,000 off of you. DB kustom blocks on FB they don't want our story getting out. They have 64 trucks they've painted so far leased to QC 29 have been returned. You do the math. QC pays 62% of linehaul and 62% of fuel surcharge and detention. DB buys trucks out of Texas oil fields then repaints them and motors cleans interior paints dash, adds new seats puts their logo every where and they sell it for $150,000. Yes 1999 and up year trucks. Stay away. You'll go broke.

 

I was reading another QC thread today. There was talk of dbkustoms so I took a look at their website. Them sure are some fancy looking trucks. That's all I got to say about that.

 

Lmao. Yea, fancy on outside not under the hood.

 

Honestly, they might be great trucks but I can tell by looking that they ain't cheap. Those are not trucks for a new or underfunded owner operator. Those trucks are for seasoned, well funded owner operators. If you need QC's assistance to get a truck, those are not the trucks to be looking at...my opinion of course.

 

I agree. I started out with a good amount of cash in the bank. Sold my paid off truck. It turned out to be a night mare for me. Others may have better luck. They want around $150-160 per truck.

 

Not all QC terminals are affiliates. Most are id say 95% with like 4-5 corporate terminals. Mines a union terminal and we do have owner operators I just never see them. They're from like tx and some other places but that's straight from my terminal managers mouth

 

Shoot for $150-$160 range, your better off buying a glider kit to your liking cab and sleeper wise, with a warranty, and customize it yourself, all your paying for when you go through DB is a fancy paint job, and the chrome already installed when you sign the dotted line. I've never done the deal, and can't get hired on by QC unfortunately because of where i live, but this is just from my perspective and what i see, and it's what i'd do.

 

Who else does QC get lease trucks from?

 

Does anyone have any information on the Quality agent that runs terminals in Maryland, and New Jersey. I was thinking about trying to sign on with them out of Baltimore.
