I would advise against using any companies lease as your own. It might be good to read over other carriers leases, but it may save you some grief if you designed your own agreement. It should not cost too much for an attorney to either check over a lease that you write yourself or one that he writes for you. I would think that any good lawyer would have a cookie cutter contract for motor carriers that he could modify or customize for your operation.

I have to say there is something I find strange that a co, who is up & running already with a real nice websight boasting all types of great freight service would already have a lease contract ready to go, & already have a co, attorney. info taken form turbo transit websight below.

I know this is an old post, but I usually stay out for a month at a time and don’t do much posting when I’m away from home and I just can’t let this one lie.
“Posers” really get under my skin. When I first looked up this idiot’s SAFERS profile and saw a DOT number in the two millions and a MCS-150 date of June 2010, one truck and no inspections it was obvious that this was a guy (or gal) who had just been granted authority and had no clue what to do next. I can live with that… we all have to start somewhere. After two years of running under my authority I only have one truck, so who am I to talk? Then I see this website where this jackass is pretending to be something he or she is not and it makes me want to go kick some azz. These are exactly the sort of people who give trucking a bad name. They have no clue what they are doing and yet promise the world to anybody who will listen. When they can’t deliver (no pun intended) it looks bad on all of us. Do you know why this person wanted a contract to copy? Because it is probably all he has ever known how to do… imitate others. Hopefully the OP changes his user name to “Walter Mitty”, which would at least be more appropriate.

First of all Music MAn, I am not a poser. I have been running freight brokerages and trucking ompanies for over 10 years. I just decided to start my own freight brokerage 18 months ago and my own trucking company 6 months ago. This is the time to really make money in this industry with the changes coming in November.

Now as far as the contracts and agreements, I have had all of them designed by one of the top transportation lawyers in the country. I am pleased to say I know longer need the advise. Now as far as the p]trivial attempt at a personal attack by you Music Man. I am doing just fine. I am not worried about CSA 2010 or inspections as I work 20 hours a day on this **** and I am on top of the game. I am buying (4) more trucks in the next 3 months and (3) Double Drops. My trucks are averaging $6800 per week in gross and the long term will be better than that once I have the new APU's installed.

Now I am not going to criticize the way you do your business and honestly man You could never touch mine. I know this industry very well. The peaks and valleys always come and I can sell freight like no other. If you want to try an dmatch wits you should do it with the "Guesser" at the carnival you would fair much better.

Show me where in ANY post since I joined this board in 2005 where I have ever, one time, pretended to be something that I am not or more than I am. I have one truck that I and my wife run under our own authority. I have no website where I portray myself to be some big player in the transportation industry. You didn’t do that here with your post because you probably knew you’d be called out for what you are in two seconds.

You filed your MCS-150 in June of this year… that’s not six months by any math you want to use. If you have so much experience in the trucking and brokerage fields, why were you seeking to copy somebody else’s lease agreements? That is just plain stupid, irrespective what industry it would pertain to. As previously stated by myself and others on here, not only would that be theft of intellectual property, but it would also most likely not offer you the legal protection you were seeking.

Look Scott, or William or Robert K. Bruning, or whoever you are, you live in whatever fantasy world you want, but I’m not buying it or supporting it. I have no hard proof that you are a complete fraud, but so many things just don’t add up. You have all kinds of trucks, but three months ago, when you filed the paperwork to start your trucking company you had one, according to your MCS-150. Then you have all this vast knowledge of both the brokerage and carrier sides of our industry but yet you are so stupid and ignorant that you want / need to copy another carrier’s lease. Then, your website portrays you to be a vast logistics mogul… to quote your home page:

“Turbo Transportation Group is one of the most financially stable asset-based carriers in the U.S.A. We provide immediate compensation for our carriers, which ensures carrier loyalty and the best rates available.”

One of the most financially stable asset based carriers in the USA, huh? Really? I’m calling BULL***** on that. Then you say you pay your carriers immediately, but yet in your carrier contract you say it’s thirty days. Which is it? Which one of those statements is a lie? Oh wait, you offer “Quick Pay” which in your world means 48 hours after POD is received, then by a check in the mail, then for a FIVE PERCENT fee. Boy, that must be how you build those solid relationships with all those carriers you boast about working with on your website.

One of the many questions I have about your contracts is if your Carrier / Broker Agreement was written long before your post here in July (as indicated on page three where the date line has “200__” typed, indicating it was written in 2009 or earlier) , why wouldn’t you have the same person write your Carrier / Owner Operator Agreement? I mean, surely one of the most stable asset based carriers in the United States would have an attorney or ten on staff, right? If not, you’d have one on retainer you could consult with. Not YOU though, you were portraying yourself to be some bigshot on your webpage and yet you were skulking around on CAD looking for some charity. It is completely inconsistent behavior.

Also, according to checkfreightbroker.com, when I searched your MC# (MC #683731) you have 1 paid transaction on file in the last 12 months, 0 in the last 6 months, 0 in the last 3 months and it took you 55 days to pay.

There are so many holes in your fantasy about who and what you are that it looks like Lorraine Cheese, my friend. Why not just be honest about who you are on your website and on CAD? I’m sure you WANT to be more than you are, but why lie about it?

Look, people like this poser are a rotting cancerous tumor in our industry. Trucking has enough problems without wannabe’s and pretenders jumping in and screwing it up more than it is. People like the OP must be shown for who and what they are as quickly as possible. They are like noxious weeds… once they get rooted… forget it… the damage is done.

Those who have been around CAD for a while know that I generally don’t post much and when I do, I usually try to keep the peace with those I have a difference of opinion with; but people like this guy really tick me off. Does he have some brokering experience? Sure… he worked for another broker some time ago as evidenced by his response to a Ripoff Report for BackHauLine Inc where he says he’s the operations manager. The link is below:
Backhauline,Inc Philip Nenadov, backhauline.com Truck Broker Con Artist Review | Rip-off Report #331820

Here’s his website where he says he’s “one of the most financially stable asset-based carrier in the U.S.A.”
Turbo Transit - Freight Brokers, Freight Quotes, LTL Quotes,Heavy Haul Shipping, Refrigerated Shipping, Flatbed Shipping

Here’s a link to his “Broker Training” website where one of the three testimonials listed (complete with photos) is probably from his son or other close relative (same last name: Woods)
Freight Broker Agent Training | Online Freight Broker Training | Truck Dispatcher Training | Freight Broker Shipper Databases | Freight Broker Websites | Freight Broker Training Manuals

Here a link to his SAFERS carrier profile:
SAFER Web - Company Snapshot TURBO TRANSIT INC TRANSIT INC

It’s just not right for jackasses like this to try to fool shippers, carriers or even drivers into thinking that they're more experienced or capable than they really are when most of the people on here, especially the owner operators are HONEST hard working guys and gals who are doing things the right way.
