CRST Malone lease purchase trucks not checked for defects Trussville Alabama
I was in the lease purchase program and all was well , until I found out that my truck was having fuel problems. I relayed this information to dispatch and maintaince, which is located in cedar rapids Ia. only to find out that the company does not have a actual mechanic shop, but a maintaince shop where pm's tire changes etc are done. I recieved complaints that I was recieving too many advances for fuel, after this went on for colse to two months. finally I was told that maintaince would put the truck in the shop, after three weeks of running from dealer to dealer, now I am behind in payments so I was pulled out of the truck and sent home, lease cancelled.
two months later the company sent me a bill for close to $4000, not discounting the time the vehicle was down at the company's request, and the $2000 worth of equiptment that was taken with the truck. every repair place that I took the truck I was told to tske the truck somewhere else. The truck was never fixed.
I feel sorry for the person that gets that truck, then goes into the mountains with 40.000 lbs and over because they will only get avg. 3 MPG. all in all the freight and rate per mile is there but some of the equiptment is not up to par

That 150.00 a week truck note will easy turn into a 1025.00 a week truck note.they charg you for the trailer,equipment like chins and binders,tarps,insurance for truck and trailer,maintenance,If you dont run 3,000 miles a week you wont even get a paycheck.This company is a SCAM and they all should be put in jail.theyre being investigated right now.

my ex worked for CRST for 3 years and was jacked aorund over and over again too. He never was out of debt enough to reciecve a pay check becuase all his money went into the fuel tanks on not one but two different trucks.. and they did a bad DAC on him because he was becoming late on delieveries from poor health due to not being able to eat well enough or get and medical or dental he needed.. if he was lucky they would LET him come home to see his children every 6 to 10 weeks... for being self employed and paying out the butt for eveything to be self employed but yet you have to do what they tell you to do and cant refuse a run... he paid in over enough money for repair account to have paid his truck off but they took and only got 300.00 when he came home to find a real job so he can see his children...
