    :biggrin_25520:I can tell you they have been around for many years, run 48, reefer and dry, I think. Only bad thing I heard was a lease/pur driver crying on a website the usual how they got screwed from the company. :biggrin_25520:

    Hey amsn if you don't want to make any mistakes stay away from leases they only work for the company. I used to lease my trucks to the drivers I had and I can tell you I never made any money but that's just me. Most companies lease because they can't pay all the expences and trun a profit. I know the dream is own but do it right, buy out right or find someone to hold the note and you have full control of the truck. And yes there is people out there that will do that. Good luck

    I lasted 3 weeks with them. Its just another Lease purchase SCAM. They charge you for everything. You even have to pay for Reefer fuel. If you drop a reefer trl and the tank isnt full. They will fill it and charge you about $5.00 per gal. I worked for them for 3 weeks and begged for loads. I left owing them $1,600. They must not be to picky. I left on really bad terms and they still call me every few weeks wanting me to come back so they can screw me some more. Did I mention their sueing me and totaly screwed up my credit rating and DAC. When you leave there they will make sure you dont work for anyone else. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.
