You’re right, I have posted similar points in different threads — and that’s intentional. My whole point is to reach as many drivers as possible...
Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. It’s telling how few of those older trucks are still around — just goes to show how quick the turnover is. You’d...
Yeah, I hear you — these lease-purchase deals are designed to look easy, and a lot of drivers sign on hoping for that one shot at ownership. The...
I’m starting this thread to reach anyone who’s ever been wronged by Mercer Transportation — not just drivers stuck in lease-purchase traps, but...
You nailed it. That’s exactly what these lease-purchase programs are — just like that shady guy selling lakefront property he knows he’ll get back...
That’s wild — and it fits exactly with how Mercer plays the game. Your buddy was doing everything right, paid off the trailer, and then they used...
Thanks for sharing your experience — you’ve seen how even when you’re doing everything right on the road, it can still turn into a financial mess...
You’re absolutely right — the whole idea of lease-purchase is built for those who don’t have the cash or credit to finance a truck outright. And...
I’ve been posting for a while about my own experience with Mercer’s lease-purchase program, and I’ve seen a lot of similar stories — drivers who...
Because at the time, it seemed like a real path to ownership — and that’s exactly how it was sold. I knew the risks, but I also believed they’d...
Yeah, you live and learn. I’m definitely a lot smarter now than I was before I started down this path. I’d never sign up for something like that...
Thanks, Pepper24 — I really appreciate that. What you said about Mercer’s brokerage tactics is exactly in line with how they handled me as a lease...
Good point — and you’re absolutely right about OOIDA. They’ve done some solid work exposing shady lease-purchase practices and fighting back...
Just a heads up for anyone considering Mercer — especially if you’re thinking about doing a lease-purchase through them. I ran for Mercer for...
Totally get that — and yeah, a lot of us do walk in knowing these programs are “broken on purpose.” But what Mercer pulled wasn’t just the usual...
Exactly. What happened to ScottieD is almost a blueprint for what a lot of us have gone through — and I’ve seen that JCT video. They let him get...
Let’s walk through your errors, one at a time — because your confidence is wildly outpacing your legal understanding. 1. Misrepresentation /...
Yes — I’ve filed. The case is real, active, and in the public record. I’ve chosen not to post the case number or jurisdiction here because I’m not...
So let me get this straight: you're claiming that fraud can’t exist if the contract “spells it out”? That’s legally and factually wrong — and...
Caveat emptor? Sure. I knew the contract was written to favor Mercer. What I didn’t sign up for was termination without cause, refusal to accept...
