    First off I was a lease operator and I did make more money then I could of imagined. I have a disease known as Multiple Sclerosis. Central decided to one day randomly suspend my driving privlages at random (On a truck that I was paying for). This was in Boise, ID. I live in Portland. They first wanted me to get seen by a doctor in Boise....I did with full release to there specs. 2 days later they get around to telling me that I must go see my Doctor in person. By the way who is one of the most recognized MS doctors there is. So I had to rent a car....drive to Portland, see my doctor, get his release statement along with Centrals. I did what they asked. This was Thursday by this time. Central said we will get back to you by tomorrow(Friday). Friday came and nothing. I had to sit another weekend and wait till Monday while all along my stuff and truck was sitting unattended with full tanks. I had finally had enough by this time and decided to start driving back to Boise.....because by this time it was either start driving again, or walk away. I mean how long would you continue to wait around for a decision while going broke and paying for a truck they were telling you that you could not drive??????? Even though I did everything they were asking. During my drive I got ahold of them and they then stated that "there" doctor needed to speak with "my" doctor. Not gonna happen. It takes months just to get an appt. unless you are a good known patient so I knew It would never happen. By this time my doctor was sick of them and there "requirements" anyways. Well Oregon along with other states has the HIPA law that allows me the right to not have my information discussed over the phone with anybody unless I sign a waiver. I told this to Central that it is my lawful choice and that my doctor was not going to be discussing my information over the phone to some cut rate nurse that thinks they know it all. And that he will simply say what is exactly on the release papers anyways. They then stated that "I was putting myself out of work"!!!!! At this time the only nice thing they did was medically disqualify my lease so I was not stuck with it or an abandonment. We walked away free and clear of each other. This was back in August of 2010. My truck had 65k on it and was in prime shape. They charged me for the most ridiculous things when they got it back. Such as grease on the fifth wheel plate, taking out my HID headlights and putting stock back in, putting stock wipers back on, screwing on CB antennas that were already there. I even got a collection paper in the mail 2 MONTHS AGO stating I owed them $625 dollars for 2 new steer tires!!!! When I havent even been in the truck for 6 months. They claimed that I was the last person to lease it and it was my responsibility. But how can they say this after I already recieved a final bill for charges and a positive final paycheck????? Mind you this whole time I was paying for a hotel because my truck I was told I couldnt even start, and that if I drove it would be reported stolen! STAY AWAY FROM THEM. I never had anything bad against them until they pulled this on me

    I bet in the lease it reads that the truck must be returned in the state it was given. You probably had brand new steers on it when you received it. If you have to pay for new steers, you should be getting your old ones back or at least some sort of refund if they kept them.
