Understanding Scams: What to Watch For

Before diving into trucking automation, it’s essential to distinguish between legitimate business opportunities and scams. Ponzi schemes, for example, operate by creating a false sense of profit. These schemes use money from new participants to pay earlier investors. Without a sustainable business model or real product, they collapse when recruitment slows, leaving participants at a loss.

In a Ponzi scheme, participants rarely see or control the promised asset. This lack of transparency is one of the biggest red flags to watch for. Automated Trucking is the opposite: we provide clients with a clear, transparent leasing process where they can verify their trucks through our partnership with Southern Truck Leasing (STL) and monitor their income.

Bad Actors in Every Industry: The Case of RivX Automation Corp.

No industry is immune to unethical companies, and trucking automation has seen its share of bad actors.

RivX Automation Corp. is a prominent example, shut down by the FTC and the State of Florida in 2024 after defrauding clients.

RivX advertised trucking automation as an effortless income stream, asking for upfront fees starting at $75,000 and promising high returns. Clients reported that their trucks never arrived or that income was inconsistent or nonexistent.

‍How RivX Was Exposed:

‍Client complaints triggered an FTC investigation, which revealed RivX’s deceptive practices. The company lacked transparency and a viable business model, leading to a federal court order shutting it down.

At Automated Trucking, we take a different approach. Transparency, accountability, and client security are at the core of our operations. We ensure every client understands their partnership and has confidence in the income potential it provides.

How Does Automated Trucking Work?

Our model is simple, transparent, and designed for long-term reliability. Automated Trucking partners with Southern Truck Leasing (STL), which owns and manages the trucks. Together, we handle every aspect of operations, including maintenance, compliance, and driver coordination. Here’s how it works:

‍Earnings Based on Fleet Size:

Clients can expect to take home a net return of 6-9% per month on their initial investment. This monthly income is distributed in weekly payouts, providing clients with a steady, predictable income stream.

‍Low Liability with Leasing:

Trucks are owned by STL and leased to clients through our partnership. This strict leasing model eliminates client liability, as STL handles all operational risks, including maintenance and compliance.

‍Flexible Lease Options:

Clients have two lease options:

‍Two-Year Trade-In: After two years, clients can trade in their truck for a newer model and renew the lease. This keeps fleets modern, minimizes downtime, and reduces maintenance costs.

‍Five-Year Balloon Buyout: Clients can run the truck for the full five-year lease term and then purchase it outright through a balloon buyout. However, ownership means they must manage the truck under their own authority, losing Automated Trucking’s management services.

‍Consistent Weekly Payouts:

All payouts are net, meaning they are calculated after lease payments, management fees, and other expenses. Even if a truck requires repairs or is involved in a serious accident, clients will continue receiving weekly payouts. In cases of major damage, we replace the truck to maintain their income stream.

Transparency at Every Step

At Automated Trucking, we encourage all prospective partners to do their due diligence. Some choose to visit our Atlanta lot, where they can inspect the trucks in person and meet our team. For those seeking additional reassurance, you can book a discovery call to address all your questions. Afterward, you’re welcome to request further references, and we’ll connect you with current partners who can share their experiences.

One of our clients, Allan, reflected on the confidence this approach gave him: “When I first heard about Automated Trucking, I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just talk. I went to Atlanta, saw the trucks, and spoke with a few partners. Everything they promised has come true, and now I’ve just added my second truck.”

‍By offering this step-by-step process and ensuring transparency at every stage, we give prospective partners the clarity and confidence they need to join Automated Trucking with peace of mind.

Why Trucking is a Stable Industry

Trucking is the backbone of the U.S. economy, transporting over 70% of all goods. Even during economic downturns, trucking remains essential. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for trucking surged to deliver critical goods.

This stability makes trucking an attractive business opportunity, providing reliable income even during challenging times. Robert, a client, summed it up: “Almost everything we have comes by truck or other transport. Once people see the high demand and steady need for trucking, they understand its vital role in our economy.”

Client Story: Allan’s Journey

‍Allan, one of our early clients, was initially skeptical about trucking automation. "I wasn’t sure if this was for me, but after visiting STL’s Atlanta lot and meeting the team, my confidence grew. I saw the trucks with my own eyes, spoke to current partners, and got all my questions answered. Fast forward two years, and I now have three trucks working for me. Each one generates consistent weekly payouts, and I’m already planning to expand further."

‍Client Story: Robert’s Transition to Passive Income
‍
Robert, a retired entrepreneur, turned to trucking automation to supplement his retirement income. "I spent years managing my own business, so I know how much effort goes into running operations. What I love about Automated Trucking is the hands-off approach. I let the experts handle everything while I receive reliable payouts every week. It’s been a game-changer for my financial stability."

‍Supporting Clients Through Challenges
‍
No business is without its challenges, and trucking is no exception. However, STL’s comprehensive management services provide clients with peace of mind. Whether it's a mechanical issue, compliance updates, or an unforeseen accident, STL handles it all. In cases of major damage or downtime, trucks are replaced swiftly to ensure minimal disruption to income.

For instance, Karen, one of our clients, experienced an issue with her truck early on due to an unexpected accident. "I was nervous when I got the call, but STL and Automated Trucking stepped in immediately. They replaced the truck within two weeks, and my payouts were never interrupted. That level of support showed me how reliable this partnership really is."

‍Scalable Opportunities for Growth
‍
Many clients start with just one truck to test the waters before scaling up. Over time, the predictable income and consistent payouts give them the confidence to expand their fleets. Clients like Peter, who now operates five trucks through STL, credit this model for helping them build a steady and reliable income stream.

Peter shared his experience: "I started with one truck just to see if the numbers made sense. After six months of consistent payouts, I added a second truck, and now I have five. This model works because it’s transparent and supported by a team that knows the industry inside out. I couldn’t be happier with the results."
