    Theres a trucking company in vancouver wa. that advertises it wants to partner with experienced truckers and lease them a truck to run the 48 states with reefers,, they are selling mainly newer volvos that are so small a 10 year old cant sleep in them.
    They charge for everything up front and the payments are so high ususally 2K every two weeks, that you have to live in the truck to make any money at all,,You run for 3 weeks and when you want time off,, they bug the hell out of you everyday wanting to know when your going out again ,,, this is one of the worst Ive ever seen, and Ive waited 45 days for a final statement of earnings and expenses.. made two round trips for oregon to boston and back and still havent received a dime from them...The name is Gulick,,,remember it,,dont sign on the bottom line,,,,unless you want to live in the truck and never be home. with your family.. They have the worst dispactchers Ive ever seen,, and Ive been around a long long time.. Youve been warned,, if you sign on with this group youll be sorry,, very very sorry..they dont keep drivers for more than 6 months.

    Your right I did exaggerate the payment,,its only 3,750 every 2 weeks for the 2011 and 2012 volvos,, and for the 07-2010 are only 2800 every two weeks and thats not including the performance fund, the escrow fund, the maintence fund the repair fund insurance, deductions for road taxes and permits,,and with fuel if you work really hard you can probably make about $500 a week before irs, state, and local taxes,, IM SO SORRY FOR THE MISLEADING STATEMENT

    If you say something as nonsensical as that, how can anyone take anything else you say seriously?

    Gulick is out of Portland, not Vancouver. You sure you weren't with Grandview?

    the volvo I leased had no bed at all, it has seats and a table than folded down like a table in a camper and made into a sleeping place with cushions that made into a bunk. You should check it out before you say something you dont know about;;

    Oh. Why would you do a lease with them before researching them? You paid for your job and say you got screwed. You didn't look at the truck you were going to be paying for?? I don't think they screwed you I think you screwed you.

    My father in law's Volvo has that. He keeps it as a table and sleeps in the top bunk. I wish I had that table. It's roomy enough for my fat arse to sit comfortably.
