Good morning to everyone who sees this brink, I'm gonna tell you a little bit about me and then about this company my situation is regarding my credit was challenged below average, and this representative Katie, baker and her staff cuz I have to include her staff they came in, and they handled my situation professionally. Expeditiously, and more importantly, they made me feel like family. They didn't just stop at getting things done. In documents process, they went above beyond the Call of Duty and I have a feeling they do this I'm gonna tell you why look at their rating already. These people care about their business and the people who they align themselves with, they don't just take on anybody but if they take you on, they're gonna get you done and you're gonna be happy in the hit because I am I know there's no way I could have qualified for not. Just one truck, but 2 But I only purchased one for now.I'm just letting you know , katie , baker and her staff are the truth they care, now, some people might look at it for their commission or whatever, I don't know anything about that. What I do know is I had some real issues with my credit. They took care of it and not just doing work hours. These people worked after hours to get me done. Because my situation required a little bit more work than effort, all I can tell anyone is I wouldn't go anywhere else. And I don't plan to go anywhere else.n Give him a call, give him a try. He wish he has to tell you and I guarantee you will be happy, not just for this whatever purchase you're making now, but think about your future, you're building a relationship with this company with this woman and her team and they do what they say they're going to do and if they can't help you. The character integrity speaks volumes because they'll tell you they can't help but I'm putting all my marbles on these people, right? I trust him, I believe in them, and I would advise anybody to give him a chance. God bless you.Well , good luck , you all.Posted on Google![]()

Working with Katie was a pleasure! She was so attentive to our needs and deadlines. She absolutely went above and beyond for us. I wish I could write an accurate review to reflect what she has done for us, but somehow I still don’t think that would be enough.Posted on Google![]()

Katie was a joy to work with! She originally brokered the deal for our truck in August 2022, and now, May 2025, after trying times in the trucking industry, she is still helping me offload my equipment, out of the goodness of her heart, to avoid financial damage to me & my family. I cannot recommend her enough! If you not only want to get a deal done, but you want someone who is passionate about helping you navigate thru the muddy waters of truck financing - Katie is your girl!Posted on Google![]()
