Compass Lease

Ok so I just got my statement from compass lease via the carrier I terminated. I ran this brand new Hyundai for like 6 months for $175 a week and got charged $1450 for tire and break wear. Is it me or is that a bit excessive? 33/32 of an inch on tire wear? WTF that's over an inch! I'm assuming that's total wear on 8 tires. They look like new yet. 6/32 of an inch on break wear.
I won't be leasing again. Buying a 2012 Wabash DuraPlate for $20,000.

 

I didn't lease it directly from Compass (carrier did) so no it wasn't altho I figured some sort of wear and tear charge. Just didn't think it would be that much in just 6 months.
The trailer I'm buying has about the same wear on the tires so no trading them.

 

No there wasn't and I don't know. It was a brand new trailer

 

Excuse me? Nothing in the lease hardly qualifies as an open and shut case nor am I some ###### N00b learning this business. I expected some charge even tho it was never mentioned in my lease. I just think it was excessive and with nothing stating this I think I have a case if I thought it was worth the effort.
Also a $28 charge for replacing the nose plywood that was as new as the day I took it.
No matter. I won't lease another trailer. I also won't lease my truck to another carrier. I have 4 or 5 good brokers with good paying loads that can keep me busy 5 times over. THAT'S the lesson learned.
