    Can anyone tell me how to search by company name? I try the search function but it doesn't show me only the posts for the company I am looking for, and it takes forever to go through each page on "report a bad company" to see if the one I am looking for is there. IS there a trick to the search function?

    I am looking to see if anyone has any experience with either:

    US Services LLc
    AIS
    LS Freight
    or has anyone done a lease to own with Prime or USX?

    Thanks!

    When you do your search, try using "quotation marks" just like you would when searching on google for an exact match, sometimes it works better. example "US Services" or "AIS" etc. etc.

    Use Google. And if you're not already a driver with a few years experience under your belt, forget about leasing for now and NEVER lease from the company you're working for. Despite what some others will tell you, it is ALWAYS a bad idea to allow the company that controls your income to also control your leased vehicle. The horror stories far outweigh the success stories. Ask any experienced owner-op.
