When you have completed a lease with a company can they deny you an inspection report? My husband turned in his truck today and the company will not do the inspection until he leaves. This just seems very underhanded to me.
When I turned in my fleece to owe, er, lease truck, after 9 weeks of going into deeper debt each week, I could've cared less what they did with it. I even returned it with empty fuel tanks (kind of stressful, but I timed it just right), just the way I got it. But, just to cover my trailer overhang, I took it in to a mechanic and paid for a full inspection, and took pictures of everything, especially improvements I made, and kept the receipts for all repairs I made during that 9 weeks (there were a lot).
The truck was "sold" for only $5,600 less than what I owed for not completing the lease, and I count my blessing on that one. Seems there was a surge of interest in trucks of that make and year with automatic transmissions, with that engine (for the life of me I'll never understand why). I expected they would have to auction the rig off after what I had been through with it, owing tens of thousands of dollars.
If you did what I did (photos, take to a mechanic), that should be sufficient to cover yourself legally should the carrier refuse to do an inspection with you present.
