Route Consultant is doing business illegally and scamming contractors and buyers nationwide. If you are a Fedex Contractor you can and will be sued if you hire Route consultant.
Slusser - Yikes. I was literally in the process of listing my $4, 800, 000 Texas FedEx P&D operation with Route Consultant when I started searching for reviews and read this. I've been a FedEx contractor a long time and I am ready to SELL! My experience with Route Consultant so far hasn't been anything like what you've experienced, but given your feedback, I will just list it somewhere else. Would you recommend that I list it with KR Capital or RoutesForSale instead? Do either of those companies do P&D listings in Texas?
I am considering using them. Can you tell me how it worked out for you?
Im in the market if you haven’t sold yet located in ATL GA was looking thru route consultant but now may look elsewhere
I have never used Route Consultant and/or Spencer, Annalee, etc to sell routes I owned, but I would never use them personally given the other options out there nor would I ever, ever buy any routes they had listed. There would be people with my opinion so it could limit a Seller's buyer pool. I sold successfully with KR Capital. There are numerous venues to sell out there now. We Sell Routes, KR Capital, Capital Routes, and many, many others. There is even a flat fee company called The Route Hub.
I cannot believe what I am reading here, Slusser. Patton is a thief and a scam artist? I have talked to him personally a number of times and didn't get that impression. I was even just at Route Consultant's Expo in Nashville. Where did he admit to stealing and then when did he pay you $72, 000 in a settlement? I see the attached Dec 2018 lawsuit/settlement agreement from Tampa that you included with this complaint but I'm really confused as to who paid who.
I currently have a listing with them for over $1, 000, 000 and your whole post honestly scares the [censored] out of me. My whole life and financial future is tied up in my business, I cannot afford to have this sale go anything but perfect. I don't have a choice but to pull my listing away from Route Consultant as a result of your statements. I cannot take this risk. I've also referred a lot of business to Route Consultant, at least five other contractors just from my district that either have listed their business or were about to. What in the world am I going to do now? It's the middle of peak season and now I'm starting over from scratch.

I heard a CA and CO are checking next.

Readers should always remember the old saying "innocent until proved guilty. Sellers require of any company selling their business to always get the highest dollar for their business. Would you hire a broker to sell you company for the least amount - don't think so. As anyone who owns FedEx routes knows, running a profitable company requires a lot of hard work, buying the routes is the easy part. Running them is the difficult part. The accusations read to me as one who believed he could buy a route and sit back and just collect checks.
Having worked with Spencer and his team on several occasion dealing with a host of different and complex issues of running a FedEx route, no one, including FedEx, and the individual we bought from has even come close to offering the amounts of good guidance as Spencer and his team.
No other company out there even begins to offer as much guidance and good counsel as Route Consultants. Route consultants continue to bring to contractors good information and training. Information and training that is essential to running a profitable company.
We would give Spencer and every member of his team 5 stars.

Bill you state: "No other company out there even begins to offer as much guidance and good counsel as Route Consultants" Who else did you work with to come to such a conclusion?
Hey everyone! This is Spencer Patton, the owner of Route Consultant, replying to this message. I would like to take a little time to personally respond to this post.
1) We all know that *anyone* can get online and post *anything* -- and that certainly does not make it true. Unfortunately, Route Consultant has some competitors that have gone online to try to undermine our reputation with false claims.
Litigation absolutely happens in this industry. If you've spent much time in the business world, you know that it is an unfortunate, but still possible outcome that we work hard to stay away from. The claims about Route Consultant paying to settle claims, committing fraud, practicing business illegally, etc. are simply untrue.
2) For anyone that is nervous about this negative review -- I extend a personal invitation to have a direct phone call with me or my staff. Given the opportunity to have a couple minutes on the phone together, I am completely confident that you will come away from our conversation with your own conclusions about whether or not we operate with integrity.
Thanks for taking the time to read my response! Have an outstanding day.
There are screenshots of litigation you failed to address.
