    Anyone ever dealt with them? They have a truck I'm into, but I don't know if it's shady at all, or what their deal is. Just looking for some info. Thanks.

    From my understanding of reading the reviews and other info they are not the best people have dealt with. They have changed their name several times and at one time did not have a good standing with the BBB.

    I would strongly suggest that you read the reviews and as you are doing now find out as much as you possibly can about them.

    I know that when people get screwed over when purchasing a truck or anything else they tend to blame the other person but they do have a lot of bad reviews but that is just my 2 cents worth. Wish you well.

    Do a Google search on this one. And do a search on its owner Louis J Normand Jr.

    You'll get your answers pretty quick.

    When you see an ad going on about "low down and no credit check" caveat emptor. It's time to watch out. I've read some horror stories about this lot. But they're not the only ones. You just have to watch for the sharks in the infested seas.
    It could get ugly.
    Good luck

    I've looked at some of the posts by people and it seems they really screw people over on the "lease" part.....has anyone had any dealings with an outright purchase of a truck from them. Thanks!

    This is their ad below on a t2000, 2009 with 490k.

    I'd like to know where, specifically they are scamming people. I am aware that alot of drivers simply sign and do not read the fine print. I want to get a sample contract to review to see what you guys are claiming caveat emptor regarding this company. its Oct. now and I'm wondering if anyone has any recent experience to demonstrate that they are improving their reputatation?
