Lone mountain Truck Leasing Cresco capital They are whats wrong with the trucking industry... Crater lake IA Nationwide
I have been driving a truck for over 18 yrs and for the last 10 years i have been wanting to own my own truck and lease on to Landstar trucking company. My credit was bad so i had to work hard to clean up my credit report. I have been at my job for 9 years and things werent great so i decided it was time. On June 7 , 2017 i put a down payment of 4000 dollars on a 2013 Cascadia. The truck was located in Fort Worth ,TX. I chose that location because i wanted to attend orientation as close to dealer as possible , which was also in Fort worth. I didnt want to put miles on the truck unless it was making money. On June 19th i went to the dealer to take truck and have it DOT'd. I also had a dyno Done on the motor. I took it back to the dealer because they said if i find anything wrong to tell them and they would take care of it. I pointed out three things and by the next day only one of them were done.. The other two they said ,thats the way the truck is supposed to be.. I knew better but i had to get to orientation the next day and they were minor things that could wait. On june 23rd,2017 i was on Bobtailing my tractor to Salt lake city to pick up trailer at the request of Landstar. In childress Tx ,that same day i had to add half a gallon of Antifreeze. By the time i got to Salt Lake , i had to add the rest of the bottle. Picked up load on the 26th And maybee 300 miles later in Rawlings Wyoming truck shuts off going down the hwy.. I paid over $600.00 to get fixed.. Also had to add another 3/4 gallon Antifreeze. By the time i reached Colubus ohio , The truck was using way too much Antifreeze and would bareley stay running. I called warranty company and they said take it to a particular dealer in columbus. First Estimate $ first estimate $3,900 For EGR actuator and some other things. i called Roger at cresco capital and told him of the stuff i fixed and the problem im having now.. He told me " i wil put a note in your file". I said what good is that going to do . can we work something out to get this truck going. He sent me an email of what was covered under warranty. "what an as*". Landstar came to me and said they would have my back and loan me the money , but i would have to pay it back ASAP , because i was a new hire. I told shop to start work but to let me know if anything else was wrong. I had a suspicion that the EGR cooler was the cause of this whole thing . Not 14 hrs later i get call from shop informing me that the EGR cooler was bad and looks like its been like this for awhile. It will be another $ 3,800 ..total so far for laes then 2000 miles .. over $ 8,000 dollars...WTF I asked Roger at cresco , What are we going to do . Im not spending every penny i have to fix this truck when i havnt even made a dollar.. He told me to tell the shop to put the truck back together and take it to Tifton , GA so his people can look at it.. The guy Must be retarted or something. The truck sat at shop through the July 4th holiday With no results from Cresco On July 6th i get lease termination letter sent to my email. Im out over $5,000 plus air fare to texas ,air fare from columbus . No job . My dream job that ive always wanted . And i look like an a**hole to Landstar.. Well im back to work at my old job with a $5,000 dollar a year pay cut and i have to wait for my benefits to kick in after 90 days. Talk about the worst two weeks ever. Landstar had the nicest people , i reccomend if you are looking to be o/o , they are where you should go.. Stay away from Lone Mountain and try a Freightliner dealership . I heard that they arent as tough as you think to get financed through.. And then to top it all off they have the nerve to notify credit bureas that i am leasing a truck through them . I just dont know what to do anymore.

sorry to tell you BUT your just not ready to be a O/O
i spent money having my truck checked like almost $1,500 at the dealer for a bumper to bumper EVERYTHING not just a DOT and DYNO
you know trucks breakdown and you just didn't have the money to cover a small repair.... (i think anything under $6,000 as a small repair)
i had a $5,000 repair 3 weeks after i got my truck on a part i had the dealer check when i got the truck. and unlike you i had the money to cover it..
