    Dear Owners,
    I recently came across a trucking consultant who is brokering a "Hauling Absentee Routing Opportunity". I have attached the terms of it (if anyone has the patience to review it, I highly appreciate it). The summary is:
    • I invest $150K into this company
    • They will set up the trucking company
    • Manage all the logistics of buying a truck, getting a DOT, hiring a driver etc etc
    • I own the company and post all expenses make 1K-4K per week (is the pitch)
    What I dont understand and feels too good to be true is investing $150K once give me 4-16K per month and I will have a cash flow at the rate of 3-10% a week. It feels unrealistic.
    For all you proud owners, I want to know should I venture into it, I goal is to learn the ropes and getting into the business deep, but start with the attached setup (Option #1) to start.
    Any help/input/recommendation is highly appreciated.
    San

    Are they including a week at their beach front Arizona property along with investing?

    If it's such a great deal, why aren't they doing it?

    Scam.....The "consultant" has a Proton email address.... "Consultant's" address is a apartment building.... Give me the money and I will double it or lose it all in less than a minute by betting on black on roulette.....

    Lol... I guess if you want to burn 150k then go for it... But dont expect it to pay out. In fact it will probably come back to bite you in the form of a lawsuit of some type.

    Yep! Exactly what I was thinking and was going to say so about it.

    OP, send me $150k and I’ll gladly give you back all the profits every month :)

    Seriously, if you do the deal you posted about you deserve to lose every last penny. I really didn’t know people were this…bleep bleep.

    The amount of BS adjacent to trucking is astonishing

    We could be partners but I’d insist on placing the money on red..
