Anyone thinking of leasing on with a company? Do yourself a huge favor, Research the Company your considering thuroughly. At the very least type the company name into the search bar at the top right corner of this page. There's tons of info about Companies advertising right here on this forum who are wanting to lease Owner Operators on. Don't get taken in! With freight starting to pickup there will be several companies (some with very bad reputations) looking to take on, take in, take advantage of, anyone showing the slightest interest. Some of these Companies will claim to be very experienced. Finding out just how experienced they are isn't very difficult. The reason for this post is because those that have previously fallen victem to some of these companies are no longer around here to post negative comments. They've moved on to other careers. You can easily learn about the companies they've worked with by searching out old posts right here on the forum. Ok, now I know I'm going to get hammered in every imaginable way for this post (on this forum and even off) but if it saves one person from getting ripped off I figure it was worth it. Some are even going to say this post is to drive business my way. Let me put an end to that right now by saying I don't want anyone contacting me about working with me. I have a full plate as it is. I just hate to see people get taken advantage of over and over again in this industry. Don't be a sucker! Good Luck Everyone! |
