    I'm going off the computer store I ran 20 years ago...
    If it's mostly a boilerplate contract with just the names changed between $100-$200. If it was a 50 page custom contract easily $1,000.

    I'm SHOCKED! That a Chicago based company would pull such shenanigans!

    If you’re presented with a contract that requires a lawyer to read it before you lease your truck on there’s a pretty good chance it’s a company you want to stay away from. A reputable company has relatively simple contracts, no legal speak that the common person can’t understand, and easily spells out what is expected of both parties. No hidden charges or “gotcha” clauses in the contract. Here’s what is expected of you the owner operator and here’s what you can expect from the company.

    Thanks for this review, I WAS considering them. That bait and switch on the contract and 30 day notice to terminate lease or forfeit your money is all I need to know.
     
    snowlauncher, Vampire, TB John and 3 others Thank this.

    This company is a rip off they talk to you in their rusty English that you will make 4k a week then they want you to drive all the way to them without any insurance whatsoever just provide you with a silly NOT FOR HIRE sign like that will cover if you have an accident in other words you’re on your own. They also offer you .40 a mile to drive up but after you’ve hired they forget all the promises anything happens to you you’re or have an accident you’re automatically FIRED I had to come back home and after 2k in expenses never saw a darn penny.. I suggest you to find an AMERICAN trucking company stay away from this FAKE forigners specifically from Chicago

    Yeah. I work for them now. They stole my entire paycheck. Charge me 3000 on fees. Their weekly fees are 1500 a week. They pay drivers the flat rate of the load. They steal the fuel surcharge.

    Yea you right man. I'm quitting them now. They took 3000 dollars out my check for fees. They was taking 1500 dollars a week out my check for fees. They will steal the fuel surcharge and pay drivers flat rate . Then charges the driver 10 percent of the flat rate. Then charge driver 1500 a week for weekly fees that they made up .

    Alpha and mike. You 100 percent right. This company charge 1550 a week in fees they will lie and say its about 600 but when you get your check is from 1550 to 5000 dollars a week. I have the paycheck stubs to prove it. They will lie about your insurance on truck. They will steal your fuel surcharge and lie about what the loads pay. The broker even called them a scammers from foreign country.
