    Maintenance escrow accounts in lease-purchase situations are typically mandatory, often funded from settlements on a per-mile basis to account for variability in weekly mileage.

    These escrows are meant to protect both the carrier’s and the lease-operator’s investments in the truck.

    At the end of a lease or in the event of cancellation with a 30 day notice, the funds remaining in the maintenance escrow should be refunded to the driver.
    However; ASE retains the balance.

    This is an unscrupulous and illegal business practice that robs drivers of their hard earned money.

    Read through your lease real good. Does it tell you this would happen? If so, you signed it. So stop belly aching. If it doesn't tell you that, call your lawyer.

    99.99% of the times, many are in a hurry to be thier own boss.

    the few that actually take the time to read thru a contract, are most likely to UNNDERSTAND the terms of the contract, and succede....

    SCAM ALERT!

    If you receive a call and the number that shows up on caller ID is similar to your own number, it’s likely a robocall scam.

    YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!

    By the regs a company has 45 days to refund escrow funds collected. Of course you may have signed your escrow away. Did you read your contract yet?
