Anyone doing a lease for crst Malone?

The whole lease purchase game with companies is a scam. The truck is basically a rental & you cover everything. The real issue comes into hauling loads for a $1 a mile. Nobody is moving freight for a $1 mile. How do you expect to make it running for a $1 mile you can't. Go to work for a decent company save your money & learn the trucking business. That is the best way to being successful and buying your truck the right way. All the best to you

 

CRST and lease in the same sentence, yikes!

 

Your mind is already made up.
Doesn't matter what anybody on here says.
The recruiter said you'll make 5 grand a week,
I say go for it.

Sign the lease and let us know how it works out.
If it doesn't work just give them thier truck back.
That's what everybody else does.

 

Everyone thinks it won’t happen to them and they will somehow overcome the astronomical odds against them and make bank with a fleese purchase. Better off buying a few Powerball tickets and stay home.

 

So, basically you're doing a rent to own truck, giving up 30% for the privilege of them doing your paperwork (ifta, irp, etc) and finding freight? Probably cheap freight at that. All in a large fleet spec'd truck you'll end up paying way too much for?

I'd pass.

 

Malone was a pretty good company before they sold out to crst.
I no 2 guys there now. One does good the other is always #####ing.
Before you go there ask the recruiter about the per mile maintenance, insurance, Qualcomm, escrow, plate, 1099 charges.

Also ask about the fuel discount program. *hint* imho it is barely a half step above just paying pump price.

That said i dont, nor never have, or will work there.
I constantly hear one guy always complaining he is gonna quit. Cause he is always in the whole again.
The other always seems to have settlements between $2400-2700. And is now talking about going to landstar when his truck is paid off in august.
I cant say thier good or they suck. But i wouldn't work there.
Like with all lease purchase or any no money down programs. The devil is in the details, so do your research.
Remember the 80/20 rule, 20% of the guys make 80% of the money

 

Man the real experts on Malone are all here.... I receive upwards of .94 off fuel price averages about .47. A tire a “super single” (I’m not a gold nugget) 1k$’s with tire discounts 300$, Pm’s discounted. Oh cheap loads?? Yeah if ya want to haul them. I use there board about.05% of the time. But did a load for 3.44 a mile(non o/s) with an agent of theirs. So far it’s been good for me but they changed their hiring practices. Last years RPM was 2.27 This year its a little lower but I’ll get it higher.... Their lease is low truck payment .15 per mile maintenance and trailer rent is 185 a week for a 48 flat no frills not the greatest but they cover maintenance. I’m the last one out of my orientation from a year ago. Might start a thread soon.. this account was rebooted so I have to get it squared away first.
