    OWNER OPS: you will go broke here. The company doesn’t shoulder any of the burden—that’s not a partnership worth cultivating. Literally all expenses are pushed off onto you at a premium upcharge. They markup everything, they don’t pass off their fuel discounts to you (you’ll pay pump price). They lease the trailers for a few hundred a week, they’ll charge you 450 plus; you’re responsible for all of the maintenance costs; 2% off of the 12% to the company pays the dispatcher; .70-.80+ a gallon discount they get on fuel you’ll never see, 2290s aren’t 550 but that’s what they’ll charge you, their ELDs aren’t 500 but that’s what they’ll charge you; they charge you to pay you, I could go on for days. Last week my check was - negative 750 bucks, and I don’t even have a truck payment lol. I had to pay the company to haul freight! They’re absolute frauds. They “clean loads” through other brokers to give you a cut rate while they surreptitiously take even more off of the top… Avoid.

    When it comes to Chicagoland 1099 outfits it’s VERY easy,if the Bad Company forum is any indication! Usually the worst horror stories are fleece purchase rackets are out of Cook County.

    You are so right ! We leased on to them but with there so called sister company MADD and thy really put us through the ringer. The settlement sheets were never right as far as trips & fuel ! Our driver drove 3weeks solid and took of 2 which he shouldn't have but when he came back they keep us in a whole of $2500 !!! $500 pops for Security deposit, Tags,trailer insurance, I started going over my settlement sheets and sent the recruiter ( aka DK) a message that they had charged us $6000 for Security deposit, $6000 for tags and we were leaving them and they couldn't get settlements correct, Her email to me was we will only correspond by email from now on that she had tried to call us !! I wish No I don't I could never rip people off like they do
