    Its the #1 mistake I ever made. Been there for 9 months and they convince you to sign a lease with them getting hooked by the terms "O/O get peid more than company driver. Bulls...t!!! Leasing tells you that they give you 2 weeks to pay your first leasing and my first check with them was $52 after 2 weeks. 3400 miles one week I got paid $500. Even if I save for nessesary diesel. That company is a ripoff. You see in your statements the waterfall of overcharges that they take off. Some of the dispatchers violate the 10 break sleep rule like a game. Night dispatch and some dashift dispatch are not DOT oriented and some of them are harrasing creeps without truck driving experience.

    How many successful lease purchase stories have been posted on these forums? Maybe a handful, and even a few of these seem suspect at best. How many failed lease purchase tales of woe and misery have we heard? Pretty much every other day!

    Folks, do NOT lease purchase a truck. Not from TransAm or anywhere else. You are little more than a company driver making truck payments without benefits. And you are shouldering all the business risk if the tide turns against you.

    it is not a dispatcher violating a 10 hr. rule, the driver is captain of the ship. 10 hours means 10 hours. As for all the add on charges, they are in business to make money and you are a revenue stream.

    Decker? CRST? Wild West? TransAm? Lets just say that your track record is less than stellar....
