    first off lets start here patsyboy,read this comment buy hippo boy!!!!!first hes not hidieng from anything ,hes paid for his mistakes,and hes also learned from a number of them,but at least hes been man enough to take the critsism,from all and turn it into a possitve instead of going defencsive and argueing everything, now lets look at this instead of complaining like alot do on here he uses this site as a learning tool,as alot of us do,yes he has recived some help, and yes mabey they did take up a fund ,????why do you care,but the big question,have you ever personaly met this man????i think not have you ,spokent to him on the phone ,i think not!!!!so how can you judge his carector,and or his way of thinking, but make no mistake i i personaly can testify to this,if hes close and even remotely thinks he can help ,he will ,case and point i was stuck in new london nc with no a/c the clutch had tore some crap up,he offerd to drive over 200 miles round trip so i could get a shower and wash my cloths and we had briefly met out side of lake city for 20 minits ans had had several phone calls,so befor you pass judgement be sure you know what kind of person your dealing with,,,my piont being ,youv never met him and evedently have never talked with him on the phone,,,so like the old saying gos opinoins are like ####### ,everyone got one:biggrin_25523:

    No there was extensive planning behind the scenes on that. I broke down on a saturday and everything was closed, receiver, broker etc. Monday morning the broker and receiver were called and I advised that either myself or 5mouths would be there to repower it by Wednesday.

    2 mistakes were made, one believing that the good guy's house was the BEST place to have it, and 2 my broker misunderstood that I wanted 5mouths to deadhead to the trailer from where he was with me absorbing the cost. Not being able to find him a load towards that trailer he sent him to New Mexico instead. This was actually my first heated argument with my broker about the debacle to which he stated that he was not a travel agent in his defense. That was the same day the trailer was impounded and no other solutions were available. The customer was my paramount concern, but also set against the backdrop of the very real possibility that it would never matter again what a customer thought of me.

    Also my logbooks are always legal looking ever since that OOS in MN. I don't need to learn the same lesson twice usually.

    oh, come now MM. the only thing he's done to his equipment is minor wear and tear. i think the most recent attempt though would have to be a winner. who would have thought to turn there truck into a hard top convertible. :biggrin_255:
