Four Star Trucks, L.L.C.

Review: On Dec.14,2014. I purchased a 2008 Reinke Flatbed Commercial Trailer from Four Star Trucking. in the amount of 27,000.00.I asked the owner to provide a Vehicle Safety Inspection.Which He did .but Trailer was not safe at all. After I received my documents. I Traveled to Calif and notticed that there was under carriage damage to cross member bent and additional damage that was a safety violation.I than traveled to Spokane Washington where the trailer is in the repair shop.A few days later I requsted another DOT Safety inspection the mechanic informed me that the trailer should not have been on road due to the damages to the undercarriage cross members bent. The traileris unsafe for travel until it is repairs are complete. I contacted the seller to inform him of the damages and the labor cost of damages.that when he agee to pay just the parts not laborat 743.00.This owner was fully aware of these damages and somehow this trailer passed inspection and failed inspection days later. My life and the lives of many other people was placed in jeopardy when the owner allowed this trailer to go down road like this.

Response:

To Whom It May Concern:Mr [redacted] did pay for the trailer as mentioned. He was in Salt lake City at our dealership for 2 days waiting for the funding on the trailer. He had ample time to inspect the trailer before purchase. After his inspection the only thing he found was a light that wasn't working and we did replace it. Mr [redacted] himself said nothing about cross-members. Mr [redacted] also asked that we have the trailer inspected which we did also. That does not take place at our yard but an outside source. It did pass and nothing about cross members was mentioned. We had no reason to think as Mr [redacted] has suggested that we knew about other problems. It came back just fine with the inspection that you will find attached. While he was here the owner of Four Star Trucks also gave Mr [redacted] 7 straps and tie downs free for his trailer to help him out.Mr [redacted] called the owner 2 weeks after the purchase and was screaming and yelling. Bill hung up on him after he was called a " punk as white boy". Chris did call back and Bill was able to talk to him. Four Star Trucks did pay on the spot the full price of the parts. Four Star Trucks had not seen or been aware of any of the problems before this time. [redacted] paid for the parts just taking the customers word. It did seem to us that Mr [redacted] was looking for something for nothing. We feel that we did act in good faith to all of Mr [redacted]s request prior to purchase. We did pay for the parts taking his word without seeing the trailer.Thank you,[redacted]- Owner Four Star Trucks
