Do NOT do business with FleetSmarts
Do NOT do business with FleetSmarts. The reviews here are fake. They have more than 300 complaints on BBB. In my experience, this company contacts new trucking carriers and tries to sell you on different services and promises, clearly aiming to see if you’ll show even a small amount of interest. I clearly said no and never agreed to anything. Despite that, FleetSmarts filed a UCC‑1 lien against my company without any signed contract, without authorization, and without my consent. I did not find out until three months later, when my factoring company called me to explain that they could no longer work with me because FleetSmarts had filed a lien in first position. My factoring company was genuinely saddened when they saw the lien. They told me they were not surprised because FleetSmarts has had a bad reputation for this same unethical practice for years. Once a lien like this is filed, no other factoring company will work with you, which effectively traps you and pressures you into doing business with FleetSmarts or shutting down your operations. Fleetsmarts asks carriers to pay $500 to release them. Although you never asked them or signed anything, or receive any service from them. They will pretend that they have a recording where you agreed. Even when the recording have you saying NO thank you. I have emails, call recordings, and written confirmation from FleetSmarts stating that I never signed any document or agreed to any service. Yet they still filed the lien and refused to remove it. If you are a new trucking company and you hear the name “FleetSmarts,” my advice is simple: hang up immediately. Do not engage. Otherwise, just like me you will be one more added to the 300 complaints they have on BBB.
