    Sorry, We don't know what the load pays

    Do not trust...it is YOUR business. You CANNOT and SHOULD NOT accept a load without KNOWING how much you are being paid. I would say any compnay that is doing this is UNSCRUPULOUS and you should leave immediately. Would a contractor build a house without a price? -charlee

    Double AA Sleeper

    My issue is that of all the componants that are being used to build substantially expensive sleepers, Double AA chooses to use the most inferior products out there, with terrible warranties and then charge DOUBLE the price of the unit to replace it. If I am spending the same 117,000 on a truck...

    Wrecker Fees While Under Load

    yeah dave......i usually handle tow arrangements myself......but this was a loaded tractor and Panther said they could "get it faster", which also was not true. My issue is NOT with Panther as much as it is with the vendor they are using for towing...I think it is the scenario of a vendor...

    rofl.....i love the bug. Yeah after I said "excuse me? you are NOT going to cover a warranty issue now because I question your quality when I can spend the same amount on a Bentz sleeper and not have any worries?

    Double AA Sleeper

    FYI...Double AA sleeper has been sold.....what does this mean? Well my first experience so far has been that the "new" owner cares far less about customer service and satisfaction than the previous owner did. We had an issue with a 07 96" sleeper that blew an inverter....Bentz warranties the...

    Sleeper Essentials

    I am finding no comparison between Bentz and AA sleepers...especially in the quality of components used. Example 07 sleepers Bentz and AA inverter on Bentz = Magnum with a 36 month warranty.....inverter on AA xantrax with a 12 month warranty. Bentz makes much better use of space...although if...
