We leased 4 trucks on with Genesis and leased trailers through their company, 4 Horse Leasing. When we initially talked to them about signing on with them, we were told that we would average $1.42 - $1.45 for all miles. After hauling for them for 10 and 1/2 weeks we averaged around $1.17 and told them we were going to pull our trucks. During that time we were paying in escrow money. All trailers were returned with the last load on Aug. 3. We were told that our final settlement would be in 30 days. We received a certified letter on Sept. 17 stating that through a breach of contract with 4 Horse Leasing, all final settlements and escrow money would be made payable to 4 Horse Leasing. This amounts to approximately $5500. We don't know the exact amount of this because we have not received a statement for the amount of the settlement with the deductions listed (they are required by law to furnish this). Genesis is legally able to keep our money through their not very honorable practice of having a seperate lease for trailers through a different company, namely 4 Horse Leasing. This is a practice that several companies use to bilk drivers out of thousands of dollars. We leased on with this company in good faith and shame on us for thinking we would be treated likewise. Owner/operators, just be aware that this company is like so many others, they will find a way to keep your money. We had to go through every settlement carefully as there were constant mistakes (12 to be exact) in the settlements with wrong deductions being taken out. We don't recommend doing business with Genesis Trucking & Logistics or 4 Horse Leasing.
