LRM Leasing Reviews

So many hidden fees. They took $700+ after regular payment deducted, when I called the lady can't even explain to me why they took that money, think about it. You buy a truck. After 1 week it broken down. I spent money that I don't have to get it back on the road, still show DPF problems on the dashboard, they kept the more than 2 weeks and still charged me full month after they purposely sold a broken truck to me, now my credit I max out. I spent over $6000 on the after 1 week buy. Salesman is crooked, shop is crooked. Financial are worse, the LRM Leasing destroyed my finances, before you buy with those people think twice.

But here’s the truth: he knew we’d never come back. Because the truck he sold us was damaged, unreliable, and far from what was advertised. The minute we drove off the lot, all that support and “friendship” vanished. They got their money—and we got stuck with a nightmare. We drove less than 300 miles before the radiator failed completely. Yes, one week in, and we were already sinking money into repairs. Then, just five weeks later, the head gasket had to be replaced—another major and costly repair that left us sidelined again. Not once did LRM or James offer to help or even express concern. We gave them multiple chances to do the right thing—they did nothing.

It became painfully clear: this company is built on deception. They sell you a story, not a working truck. They make you believe they care, but they don’t. Once the sale is done, you’re on your own, no matter what they told you. James ** is not your friend. He is a salesperson who’s mastered the art of manipulation, pretending to be helpful while knowing full well that the trucks they sell are flawed and you’re going to get stuck with the repair bills. If you’re considering LRM Leasing, do yourself—and your business—a favor: walk away. What they sell are broken promises, broken equipment, and broken trust. This was one of the worst business decisions we’ve ever made. Don’t let it happen to you.

LRM Leasing: A Pattern of Neglect, Deflection, and Customer Harm. Our negative experience with LRM Leasing is not unique—it’s part of a disturbing pattern of complaints from other customers who were misled, sold faulty equipment, and left without support. In one case, a buyer paid over $7,000 down, only to have the engine fail within 23 days, after less than 8,000 miles. LRM refused to assist, and the customer was forced out of business. Another customer broke down within 298 miles due to clutch failure. When they called for help, LRM ignored them and blamed an “old unpaid bill,” refusing to exchange the truck despite their own 72-hour policy. The customer had to pay $3,150 out-of-pocket just to return the truck. A third buyer, a couple who returned their leased truck in excellent condition, was shocked to receive a $6,000 collections bill, even after being promised there would be no penalties.

These are just a few of the many complaints that show a consistent pattern: trucks that fail shortly after purchase, broken promises, hidden fees, and zero post-sale support. Customers are routinely ignored or blamed instead of helped. LRM’s replies are often filled with polished excuses that try to shift responsibility onto the buyer.

In our case, LRM attempted to dismiss two major breakdowns within the first month as “normal wear-and-tear”—a claim that’s simply false. A radiator failing after 300 miles, and a blown head gasket within five weeks, point to pre-existing mechanical issues. And yet, just like in other reviews, they tried to normalize it. We’re sharing this not to attack but to warn future buyers. Do not be misled by a few positive reviews—there’s overwhelming evidence of consistent failure to deliver reliable equipment or stand behind their word. For small carriers and independent operators, the cost of one bad truck can be devastating. Do your homework before investing with LRM Leasing. Our experience, and many others like it, show the risk is simply too high. Buyer beware.

LRM Leasing are crooks! They took my money!! Instead of giving me my refund. They told me I was approved. When I got to Florida they gave me a truck that I drove no more then 298 miles and the clutch went. They left me stranded leaving me to pay 3150 to get the truck towed back to their shop to only tell me I owed a previous bill that they don’t remember the balance from 2019. If I owed a bill why would you approve me for another truck. Long story short these guys will do whatever it take to keep your hard earned money. I’m a go through hell and hot water to get my money back because 8400 don’t come easy these days. “DON'T DO IT.”

From the owner to all the office agents, LRM Leasing is a blessing in providing drivers the truck they need to branch into their successful future. In my 8 years of trucking I’ve never dealt with a more caring, understanding knowledgeable and supportive group! I’d highly recommend LRM Leasing to anyone looking to lease or buy a truck. Thank you big time LRM for providing me with an opportunity of a lifetime!!
