Be CAREFUL! As an owner operator they charge you for equipment even if you use your own (chains,straps and tarps). They make you use their ELD AND you have to buy it ($982.00). You are told by them yes, if you stop working for them, that eld will still work for you. Nope... it is designed for fleets and bluetree does not support single users. So we have a $982.00 piece of dunnage. Smoot is not interested in purchasing it back even though they can USE it not us. We used it for approx. 3 weeks and they were the ones that installed it and it is basically brand new. Am I angry you bet! Our first check from them bounced, the second check to replace that one also bounced. They made good on it but it took a week.
