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?
