Roadmasters "bait and switch."

Just got off the phone with them and was told financing would be a good way to go with $2500 down. Interest for the balance 12% to 18%.

I told them I have bad credit (really BAD Credit) and no job. They said "no problem we have in house financing" quoted rates above.

So its only bait and switch if they cant get me a loan for the balance. 18% Student loan for the balance with no job - no bad but can they make it happen?

Still thinking about the right Trucking School.

David I don't think there was any "bait and switch" here nor did they mislead you. It's stated very clearly on their website they offer financing for

. Meaning you need to be credit worthy. Although they did not execute the credit check in a timely fashion, the outcome would have been the same, only you would have known sooner.

You should do fine with Prime...but I suggest like Old School pointed out to clearly understand what you are getting into before you sign anything.

Some suggested reading: Paid CDL Training Programs

This may also help you to see how Prime rates on TT review page: Trucking Company Reviews

There are plenty of folks on here driving for Prime happy to check-in with you and tout the merits of being a Prime driver. Good luck to you.
