After I was there for a little over 4 months, I left them. The miles were great, but got tired of running back and forth to the East Coast. After 4 months was still behind almost $3,000 in the truck payments, and did not even start on the security deposit.

A while ago I asked mitch what I needed to comeup with to pay off the truck he told me he wouldn't sell it to me I had to stay with the lease
He said he didn't have any he wanted to sell
Thought I could find outside finance
He told me if I wanted to buy one outright go to what ever dealer I wanted to and he would let me sign it on with minstar
THOUGHT IT WAS LEASE PURCHASE -
I remember going through orientation, I was even told that after you completed your lease, and you still had the ballon payment at the end, he would refinance until paid off. I guess that either they are lying or Mitch is changing his ways. Found a great money maker. I know that Minstar is making money. Also do not forget the trucks that he has leased to the other companies, like Transport America and I think two otherstrucker43 Thanks this.

Hey blsqueak,Haven't Talked To You In A While. Where Did You Wind Up Going To After mitch?
-
Left mitch and went with GSTC. Talk about lies. Lasted there about 6 weeks. Then went with Schneider, their IC program. Took the truck that I received, the one in my Avatar, went for a road test, caught on fire, complete loss, so instead of taking another one that I did not want, went to company driver for now until I get my wife here. Then going back on the IC program. After the fire, they were great, and complimented me on keeping my cool, and not getting pissed. When the wife is due to arrive, let them know 2 months in advance, and they will find me a 2008 or newer Volvo 780, with all of the options.
good to hear from you. -
Is This Their New (no credit check) LP IC Program? And #### Driver,It Sounds Like Your Luck Is Like Mine. If I Didn't Have BAD Luck,I Wouldn't Have Any. I'm About To Dive Into A New Project Of My Own But I Don't Want To JINX It. I'll Bring You Up To Speed AFTER It Happens. 10-4? I'm Glad To Here Your Wife Is Coming Home.

Yes, it is their new IC program. They have two different ones. One you lease a used truck that you get to choose, drive it one year, and at the end of the 12 months, if all works well, you turn it in and choose a brand new, pretty muh spec'd the way that you want. Some drivers get lucky and get a 2009 or 10 at the get go, and I have heard that at the end of the 12 months, they just decide to keep it, so then they already have 12 months paid on the lease. I was told that when the wife gets here, we will be going into a fairly new Volve 780, to make up for all that has happened. Was even told to let them know 3 months before she arrives, then they will start to look for my new truck, and if they find it soon, they will just bring it to GB, put a hold on it, and not even put it into the inventory. They will sit on it for 3-4 months if needed. My finance manager told me that if they find one sooner, the office mgr will not list on the inventory so that no other lease specialist will know about it.
Good luck on your next project. -
