I wish my friend Tom would read this thread Bill,,,, He is a "fleese purchase" driver for SNI... He had 3 years, maybe 4, under his belt and he went all in an lease purchased a 2009 Cascadia. He has had nothing but problems with this thing for over 2 years now, which had put him in the maint whole. I have told him since he did this that he should come to this forum, listen to KR and research more than he did. Bill, you are definetly a mentor of sortes and at this time my friend is only making 19cpm after expenses. He blaims the industry, I tell him, he is to blame... From what I have learned here and there, I will never lease purchase a truck. I may put a huge down payment on one and pay like 10 to 12 payments but once I take possesion of said truck, it is mine unless I renig on payments. Anyway, I would love to attend your class as I would KR's so, let us know the dates asap brother.. God Bless

Sorry all for letting this hang. First, I realized that I was doing a little bit too much self-promoting of my Trucking MBA program. So wanted to back that down. And as you can tell from my lack of other activity I have been on vacation and traveling for business.

As was mentioned, our scheduled orientation was canceled because we brought drivers in early or they got delayed on loads and can't make it. So being down to a single driver for this weekend we are doing it virtual and will have him come in when we have a group for the business planning and building portion.

So as to keep within the rules of the forum I will leave it at that and stop posting here on "classes" or my web content. But rest assured I will post my information here on TTR for all current and future O/O's to read and add to.
