    STAY AWAY FROM EUROPEAN TRUCKING COMPANIES IN AMERICA

    They will use you like a tool, never pay you, and dump all costs on you

    To all CDL drivers out there — avoid these so-called “lease” or “owner operator” opportunities, especially from companies run by people from Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Russia, or any other Eastern European countries. Their model is always the same:

    You work. They get paid. You get nothing.

    Here’s how the scam works:

    They promise no escrow, but then sneak in independent contractor agreements insurance deposit” or “damage deposit and 50 different items”charges and fees that are non-refundable and way higher than normal. In $500 for late fees etc
    They take out insurance, plates, permits, and even truck repairs from your pay.
    * And now, they even charge drivers for future maintenance or “potential damages.”
    * Imagine **Walmart charging cashiers** for a working register or **Best Buy charging employees** when a light bulb goes out. That's how insane this is.
    * These companies are supposed to cover truck costs — but instead, **they dump 100% of it on you**, the driver.

    There is **no real paycheck** coming.
    They keep you running loads until you get mad and leave.
    Then they move on to the **next driver**, and the scam repeats.

    They get rich while drivers go broke, stranded, or worse.

    Do not be naive. Do not work for these companies. Tell other drivers.

    If you see a Craigslist ad saying:

    * "No escrow"
    * "Free plates"
    * "80% of load"
    * "Cash advance"
    "We accept SAP drivers"

    That’s a red flag. That’s how they pull you in.

    ---

    The truth is simple:
    If the company isn't putting up a dime and you're doing all the work — you're not a partner. You're the victim.

    Stay safe out there, and protect each other.

    Well....less purchase in itself is oftentimes a scam. It doesn't matter if they're European or American. Buying a truck doesn't come easy. That's a nice looking ad though. That may have seduced you.

    The "No forced dispatch" pulls them in too and is the icing on the cake.
    "Oh look! I can run where I want, when I want, and go home for as long as I want. Sign me up!"

    OP, I feel bad for you in your situation....
    but...
    I noticed you have been a member of this forum for over 4 years and have posted many times.
    How have you not seen hundreds, or maybe THOUSANDS of posts warning people about the same problem?
    I am truly curious. Is the forum laid out so poorly that no one sees them unless they know where to look?
    How can someone have a CDL for 4 years and not know about these companies?
    I'm baffled. Please help me understand
    No judgement..

    Just how do they "sneak in" these agreements? The attorney you hired to look over the contract didn't catch them?

    He's back...........

    Multiple, multiple victim poster that seems to have been trying out as many shady 1099 company's as possible to, you know, show us how it's done.

    Starts threads & posts exclusively in Bad Company section on multiple occasions since 2021, all the same. Rinse, repeat....try yet another one.

    No once, twice, thrice burn me here. Going for the record.

    Even posted up his "Strategy" for dealing w/shady Eastern European companies in 2022. See it's working well.

    Of course, could just be a troll. Starting to think that way, as I can't believe ANYONE would keep coming back for that much more like that.

    "Hey Vladamir, sorry to bother you, but umm, yeah, hey look the truck just caught fire somehow, burned right down to the ground, yeah, well, it all happened so fast, sorry, there was nothing I could do, I'm just glad I was able to get all my stuff out of it before the fire got intense"

    Profile post history is blocked (wonder why...lol), but easily found by just searching name.

    Got to call BS when I see it.
