    My previous employer went with Sunteck and nearly lost their shirts. They were happy at first, but things started going downhill fast last Summer. I went with that employer because he promised me Canada runs and Sunteck NEVER FILED THE PAPERWORK to go to Canada, yet they lied about all the Canadian revenue they were seeing. I don't blame my past boss for what happened, but that's pretty shady of Sunteck to lie about runs to places they're too lazy to file the paperwork to even go. Screw 'em.

    Called on their load one time. After few transfers they put me on hold and played that song "sittin at the dock all day" or whatever, and heard a giggle in the background. Never will I work with them.

    A good friend of mine bought a truck thru Quality and leased on to Sunteck, last summer.
    Started off behind the 8 ball, he couldn't get all the problems the truck had repaired in their 30 day warranty period, not to mention no income during this period.
    Had a sorry dispatcher out of Louisville. Dispatcher had multiple trucks of his own on the road, which was his primary focus.
    Switched to a dispatch group out of Texas, and went to the program where u can find your own freight. On this program, dispatchers still have to do the contract for each load and handle all paperwork and problems. You get paid 5 percent more, and they get 5 percent less. Well, the dispatchers are not on board with this program and are very slow to do things on their end. Lost loads, sitting for hours waiting on simple things, etc.
    He quit in November.
    Beware of Sunteck and Quality Leasing

    As a company that does this the biggest factor for us is to allow an O/O to have flexibility to run or not run. If you roll the trailer into the rate then you are having to make sure that the O/O is generating the revenue to cover the cost of the trailer. If you are a runner, then renting the trailer is going to be a better deal.

    If you don't need to or want to run hard, then being blended is a better deal.

    Like anything else, you have to stop and do the math and compare different models to see what works best for you.

    My only other observation is that 75% is low if you are covering trailer expense. "75% of what" is still the ultimate question, trailer rent or not.
