make up for such deficiency. If Kxxxxxxxxy does not keep his Equipment operating for the
full term of the Agreement, the minimum fee paid to any regulating agency to certify such

Are you an employee, looking to work for an O/O, or are you an O/O looking to lease with a company?

jsnell, larry2903, Socal Xpress and 2 others Thank this.

Then yes, it's a scam. It's not your job to pay his business expenses.
Plus, it's very unlikely it's an actual escrow. More than likely it's a loan you are giving the company. An escrow is when something (money) is held by a third party to be released to either party on set conditions only. The fact he has 100% control of the money makes it not an escrow.
No, you need to avoid people like this. Let me guess, he wants to pay on a 1099 also?
Again, 1099 is not a legal way to pay an employee, so if he starts off lying and running illegal, what makes you think he won't treat you the exact same way.
And even if he is legal on a w-2, a fake escrow is almost as bad. -
Thank you ZVar.
