    You must now work for Smith Transport, KCKS. I had a truck leased onto them. Greg and the crew are a bunch of great people. I was doing great until the econemy went south. Not Smith's fault but I lost truck and everything I owned. I had some problems there but most were my fault. I loved it because Kevin, Mark and them were all christians, they care about you. I hope you enjoy your time there, they will ALWAYS treat you good and will be totally honest with you, which is hard to find. Tell them all that I said HELLO!!! Dell Bertram

    I am hurricane_victim's husband. They won't even give a good dac. I dropped the truck and trailer off at their terminal after delivering my last load and they posted abbandoned equipment on my dac. In the process of looking into a law suit against them. I was getting 6 mpg out of a 379 pete and they told me I don't know how to drive for mpg. Meanwhile none of them have ever driven a truck and I have 18 yrs behind the wheel.

    @lostheart. I am glad your experience has been positive. Mine was not. Good luck in your job search when you leave. Hawk is the only one there who is decent and he is nothing more than a puppet for them.

    Drove past their yard Friday afternoon and counted 14 trucks in the yard out back of the shop waiting for new drivers.....also they had two "spiffed up" Pete's up front next to their Corvettes parked by the office. Wanna bet those "Vettes" don't belong to the drivers. Just east of Tulsa they have a big ol' sign advertising for lease operators.

    Drivers. For the last time, of it sounds too good to be true, it is. You're not going to outsmart the system. Hurricane has always been a bad company. Always. They've always pulled this lease purchase scam. Hurricane isn't your regular run of the mill L/P deal. The only way to stop them is to stop trying to change the inevitable. If you lease on, they will screw you. It's that simple. CRE Couldn't even dream of what Hurricane does. Stop trying to beat the system. Hurricane's system is literally designed to fail. Most at least give you the chance. Not this one. A buddy of mine was going to go and ran it by me. I looked at everything and I asked him if he was completely out of his mind. Hurricane is a bad company with a bad deal. Stay away and keep your sanity and your money.

    My brother in law work for hurricane. He was on hometime and his trailer was broken into, the lock was cut. He called the police, and had a report done. They blamed him for stealing the product out of his trailer.

    If they want to falsely accuse someone who has a police report, there's a way to remedy that.....

    Unless they have physical evidence proving you stole the items...then I would do the following.....

    Sue them for slander & defemation of character.
