    Hello, I made the mistake to lease on with a scammer company called Leader freight systems out of Indianapolis, IN, but orientation office in CHICAGOLAND (ALSIP) I am O/O power only, after moving 3 loads with them I decided to quit, they only offered me cheap paying RPM loads, when I told them that I was quitting they shut down my fuel card, I was still on a load and hundreds of miles away, I had to use my personal credit card to get fuel, I completed delivery on time and dropped their trailer in their yard as they told me, I worked there from 8/31/23 to 09/07 23, they sent me 3 different settlements trying to charge me for 2 weeks of trailer rent, eld, insurance, escrow, etc.
    today is 10/04/23 and they have not paid me nothing, no answer calls or emails. if your are O/O stay away from these thieves.

    I'm doing a similar deal. I'm paying the fuel, truck rent, trailer, insurance, tolls etc.

    Been here for 2 months, made 1 positive paycheck. Recently 3rd month on my 2nd positive paycheck. This week should definitely be positive, afterwards I'll be looking for employment elsewhere.
     
    Blackeagle23 Thanks this.

    You are part of the problem with this industry! I hope you and your company gets caught and shut down!

    You run that many miles and still make nothing. Just running the freight for cheap as hell and then doing it cheating on HOS. Disgrace!

    I only talked about my bad experience, It did not work for me but maybe it is very good for others, why don't you give a try with them?

    I'm skeptical of drivers that specifically ask for companies that run fast trucks and say they run 4800 miles in a week. That screams a potentially unsafe driver.
     
    Siinman and Blackeagle23 Thank this.

    Many of those companies play by their own rules up there. When I worked for one, I got into an argument with the owner. He wanted me to unplug the elog, drive to the shipper while remaining on a 34, and then log back in when I got there. This was out in California. I told him I know how to work a clock and I wasn't doing it. I had blemishes on my record and I was in the process of trying to clean it up. I refused and we got to arguing. Drivers go to these companies because they will allow you to run outlaw. Heaven forbid if they have a major accident or a DOT audit. These companies get so many drivers that really don't know how to work.
