Summing up CRST Malone

A truck that sits in the driveway with no logo's, the plates on it are under your name, and it's off the road for an unfixable frame.

Rather go company lease than buy a new frame/truck.

 

You have every good reason to quit but don't be surprised if CRST does tarnish your DAC.This story here along with thousands others is reason enough to think long and hard before leasing.Judging from this story I take it you was a lease operator.

 

dude you get an abandonment, they had to send a wrecker, just because you gave them a key and met the wrecker .

let me point out the flaw in your argument. you loaded on wed afternoon to unload at atlanta 1:30 pm on friday. you arrived home and spent all day thursday at home. THEN you only were low on fuel friday morning?????

you were low on fuel when you arrived home, thursday should have been the day you called to get fuel money, not friday morning.

you didnt take care of you business and you want someone to feel sorry for you. another question how far out of the way was it to go home???

you goofed off thursday and yet this is crst fault. LOL 4 times out of fuel and this was about to be the 5th. why didnt you call thursday to get money???

i waited to post this , hoping someone else would see that obvious flaw in the story, but no one did.

 

thats just a broke down truck then, its a truck the O/O didnt have money to repair. now let us know how the frame got torn up

 

It cracked on one side, didn't notice until I noticed the left sagging. Had it looked at, I want to know how the other side cracked... I don't hit curves and avoid the noticeable highway speed bumps.

 

Was there any ATM's in the area?

 

you could repair that buy adding a piece over the cracked area. i stretched a frame like that myself once . it actually doesnt need a new frame. just a bunch of holes to drill. just got to know how to do it.

 

Didn't notice until the left side was sagging? Can we say PRE-TRIP INSPECTION? Seriously, as an o/o, your gonna tell me you missed that? I'm sorry but thats just wrong....

 

You running out of fuel is your fault!! When I ran the road my idle % was 27%, not great but I could sleep with just a fan going wether it was 28 or 88 degrees out!!

You said:

So a 1k mile run (adding the 20% for short miles) 1,200 miles at 6mpg would take 200 gallons of fuel, we'll say fuel cost $4 a gallon which equals $800 bucks. Ok, 1k miles at 82cpm equals $820 bucks!! But wait EVERYONE knows CRST Malone has cost plus fuel program and yall save 20 to 50 cents per gallon; even at saving 20cpg would lower your ACTUAL fuel cost to $760 leaving you with $60 bucks!! That example is only getting 6mpg, which is VERY easy to get in a freightliner.

I can just about bet you were one of the ones running 70+mph everywhere you went and idling all day and night as that seems to be par for the course with Malone L/O.

I'd also like to know where you call "home" cause I honestly cant think where the Comdata couldnt be used??

 

Very good point, plus i love the signature man! lol
