Maintenance reserve is administered by the carrier. Escrow may be applied to amounts owing at termination…
Document intelligence for US truck drivers
The payment they quote you
is not what it costs.
SkimBust reads the paperwork carriers and brokers put in front of you, line by line, and shows you where the money leaves. Four tools are planned. One is open.
Specimen · not a live analysis
The quoted payment is $725 a week. Once the reserve, the insurance and the hold are counted, the same page costs $1,385 a week — and the escrow refund terms are not on it.
The tools
Four doors. One is open.
We ship one at a time, properly.Lease-Purchase Analyzer
- Problem
- Walk-away traps, balloon payments, and maintenance escrow you never get back.
- Inputs
- The numbers off your lease agreement — payment, term, escrow, balloon, buyout.
- Output
- True weekly and total cost-to-own, walk-away cost, and an APR-equivalent to compare. Arithmetic only.
Rate Check
- Problem
- You are handed a rate and a document, with no context for whether the amount or the format is off.
- Inputs
- A photo, PDF, or screenshot of the rate — lane, dates, equipment, broker, amount.
- Output
- What the document actually says, extracted, plus internal consistency checks and flags tied to the line they came from. Private to you. Signals, never a verdict.
Contract Guardian
- Problem
- You are handed a contract package and need to understand how it can actually affect you before you sign.
- Inputs
- The main contract plus every appendix, addendum, policy, and authorization in the package.
- Output
- A clause-by-clause breakdown and the questions to ask. Never “sign” or “don’t sign”, never legal advice. The economics of a lease stay in the analyzer.
Carrier Due Diligence
- Problem
- Signing on with a carrier you have no independent read on.
- Inputs
- An MC number and the packet they gave you at orientation.
- Output
- Public facts only, if it ever opens. No scores, no rankings, no scraped reputation.
How it works
Paper in. Leverage out.
01 — Bring the numbers
Off the agreement
Off the lease, off a phone photo of it, off the sheet the recruiter slid across the table.
02 — Every line gets a signal
Verified, verify, missing, red flag
Each one tied to the line it came from. Never a verdict, and never advice to sign or to walk.
03 — Push back
With the real number
The true weekly cost, the walk-away number, and the questions worth asking before you sign.
Limits
What SkimBust will not do.
It does not determine fraud or guilt. It does not score brokers or carriers. It does not tell you to sign or to walk away. The analyzer covers the deal in front of you — not fuel, food, taxes, tolls, or downtime — and its APR-equivalent is a comparison figure, not a lender APR or a TILA rate. Signals, not verdicts. You remain the decision-maker.
