    Good God....you would think there would be some kind of consumer protection laws that would limit the amount of ####ery that idiots can get themselves into.

    I don't know what trucks go for or how long the terms are so I just plugged in numbers that sounded reasonable (other than the interest). This is nuts lol Screenshot_20191005-184451.png

    So I met a lady on Thurs. that is an agent for large carrier, she has her own trucks and has more than a few o/o's leased to her. She's been in business for a long time, 25+ years iirc. Its flatbed freight of course. More than just construction materials and hopefully better rates.

    My hold back is the carrier she's an agent for. CRST. But I wouldn't have any direct contact with anyone at CRST as far as I know.

    Im trying to do a pros/cons list, but Ive got too many unknowns about CRST to really make a good decision.

    LMAO.....I was think 5k was a okay number because if he was getting charged 47% I'm guessing he didn't have a proper down payment lol.
