Anyone Know Anything About "United Truck Group, LLC."

**Blah!** · 09.15.2009

I'm in the market for a good used truck and came across these guys online. They have what they call the:

Golden Rental Advantages

* Funding for United Truck Group, llc., for you in 24 Hours or less.
* No Personal Guarantees.
* The Golden Rental Program for Trucker.
* No Law Suit against you if you don't pay.
* Insurance Compliance Department that works for you at N/C
* IRP, DOT, IFTA, FED Compliance Department works for you at N/C
* Your Truck Will Be Federal DOT Before it leaves our Lot.
* Wright Off 100% of your Payment "Pay the IRS Why"
* Focus On Your Business.

Does anyone know anything about this company and/or this program? Sound like a BS but figured I would ask and see if they are know by anyone on here. Any info/insight would be great. Thank you in advance.

My cousin stopped there on the way to FL a couple of months ago. I will only say, he ran from there. They want $400 0r $500 app fee BEFORE they process anything. Now it might have changed but I doubt it.

I did meet a O/O who had a truck from them and he seemed quite happy. He had a Peterbilt 379 and looked fairly decent. Don't remember all the details, since it was a couple of years ago.

Seems like a reasonable deal, depending on what they want for "rent".. And that app fee would hurt, yowch. I'd go in there and get some more information, i'm looking for something similar so if you do decide to check them out further give us some updates!

i dont personally know ....but i was looking into them and was told by a friend that has his own company with drivers that looked into dealing with them and they ended up looking at a 2500 a month payment not to mention app fees and down payments...they were told by the company that they would take anything as a down payment from jet skis to jewelry as long as it valued at their required down payment. sounded shady. they ran the other way .

if they can't spell write (not wright) correctly I wouldn't go to them

With some of the slime balls out there am sure the only golden thing one would see is the payments.

Have been watching Truck Paper most of the summer & get their weekly updates of the new stuff listed & this week is higher than normal? With double & out of date postings am not sure if it can be thought of as an actual barometer, but the conv. truck w/sleeper segment is up by around 160 postings.

I stopped by there once. And ran away as fast as I could. All the units I looked at were wore slap out. All the trucks they say just over hauled were done in their shop. If you have a problem you have to go back to them, which would be a problem if you are 1,500 miles away. And if you do have a problem that is under the so called Warranty according to the sleaze ball salesman " We only charge you 50 %." I would Drive a 1970 cab over that I had to use tarp straps to keep the doors closed before I would deal with those scum bags.

Their ads in the Truck Paper don't impress me. Big down payments for high mileage trucks, and it seems that you "rent" the truck, not buy it.

Seems like a buy here pay here truck place. But truely I have no experience or knowledge about them.
Just curious, what type of truckers are they marketing to, are they mostly for truckers who are having trouble getting a truck elsewhere, or are they for successful truckers looking to get another truck.
I mean, if that is where experienced successful truckers go, then look into it, if it is for the down and out then run...

Run Run. They are one of those places that cater to guy's with BAD credit that can not get a truck somewhere else. And as is the case with 90% of those S.O.B.'s they are out to make money off them and screw them.
