    I was so sweet talked into leasing a truck from Cure leasing out of Norcross,ga that Meadowlark set up with a payment of $822 a week.before signing the lease for the truck I called Jeff in edwardsville,il to ask him if with that kind of payment was I still after the truck payment,ins,fuel & any other deductions would I still bring home at least $1500 a week.he said absolutely.in the 3 weeks I was leased onto them the truck generated approximately $13,000 of which I seen about $500 of that go into my bank account.when I confronted Jeff & payroll about where all my money was going their response was deductions.my deductions for everything including truck payment was just under $1200 a week.with making $4,000 a week they couldn't tell me after the $1200 deductions where the other $2800 was going other than "deductions" which had already been taken out.with 2 trips that took 2 1/2 days $1700 should have come to the truck but all I received was $54.meadowlark is a fraud & only out to make money for them & not the driver.i went under in 3 weeks with them.

    Of course they are a bad company. They are in the leasing business...
    As for the charges though, demand an itemized list and sue them when they don't pay. You know like two companies that cannot see eye to eye in a contract dispute should do. Oh you mean you didn't realize you were starting a company. Well, what did you think you were doing then?

    Really? I knew what I was doing.this wasn't my first time just my first time with them.i got an itemized statement every few days & it was the same deductions every time.is like they were deducting every item every trip I made not just once a week.i have completed a successful leaders in the past with a different company so not every company is bad.the lease was done with a separate entity that Meadowlark just provided an "intent to hire" letter so you didn't have a down payment.the lease of the truck was between me & cure leasing out of Georgia not meadowlark.they are who I leased it onto.

    They kept all but $500 of the $1300 I made in the 3 weeks there saying it was all deductions.it looked like they were constantly taking the same deductions out every trip I did not once a week

    I don't have much experience in this field, but I know #### well that leasing a truck is the biggest scam in the industry. I just wonder out of curiosity why do people still falling for the lease purchase deal.

    This was an actual lease purchase from a company other than Meadowlark.they are who I leased said truck onto.the truck was not the problem,meadowlark was.they were keeping all my money.the truck I was buying was a legit deal.no gallon payment & owned the truck in 21 months.all I was doing was paying the truck payment,ins,fuel & other deductions that meadowlark was charging me.i wasn't bringing crap home
