    Two red flags right from the jump: the "uplift our own" angle, and the flashing of the expensive watch in pictures.

      The amount needed to start with them is $28,000, which includes the truck, equipment, and other expenses. I was told this by a lady. However, they require an initial payment of $2,000 just to show you a few things before you start working for them. They promise that you will earn 20% of every load. You will be on the road for at least three weeks at a time (OTR). For every week you spend OTR, you will earn one day off.

    Keywords to look for in a scam “I’m doing this for my community”. No you’re not. Otherwise you’d be a non-profit organization. Everyone is in business to make themselves money.

    The problem is the owner of the company is also Haitian too and is robbing and destroying his own Haitian communities.
    If it weren't for laws in place in America and jurisdiction laws, Haitian would have done so much corruption and dirty businesses in America.

    First of all , anyone who tells you you can make $5,000 -$10,000 per week in a pick-up truck is trying to scam you . I know the Transport Industry very well and those numbers do not exist , even if you bought a Big Rig you wouldn't make that much . The days of making good money in the Transport Industry even in Expediting are gone . I am not saying a person can't make a good living but you can't get rich especially driving for someone else .
