    I fully agree. Most assuredly he is not the Agency Owner, if he is in the industry at all and not simply a troll with nothing better to do.

    Yes there will be home-made STROMBOLI at the grand wedding. Between the Stromboli and all this Victoria Secret talk Zinger is going to have one heck of a time.

    Without reading this whole thread. Cause it's created by an ### hole, the first post your gloating in fortune, and dismayed at the gullibility of the driver.
    I hope the guys that follow this get a count on the posts where you tell us how you took it in the ###. And it's with the same fervor that your first post is.
    Just because the guy agreed to a bad deal, doesn't make it ok or right.
    You'll get yours someday.
     
    noluck, G13Tomcat, mitmaks and 3 others Thank this.

    THEROOKIE1 was banned from TTR? Tis, tis, he should of known better. He is a ####y little 24 year old, but I think he was pointing out a valid issue in our industry, CHEAP FREIGHT WOW.

    If it's a true story who knows, maybe the guy lived near Tampa and needed to get home for Turkey day and that's all he could find.

    .... as long as he's not the 24 y/o bus driver... i'll just drop it~


    ps: no disrespect by ANY means, @CasanovaCruiser , and even Mike and Bob younger than a few of us. His blight of immaturity made me flash to that... and I apologize.

    good day, drivers..... stay safe~!

    I don't know what that guy was thinking driving that bus so fast like that. For one, let me say this about that, I've driven a couple buses because I had to in order to get my bus endorsement I don't have school bus, but I do have passenger bus and school buses at least the couple I drove were not exactly fast by any means, but I don't know if that guy was just an idiot, or if he was on drugs.

    Hauling people is scary, and even though it's not our country, last couple weeks I've been on You Tube watching video's on driving double deck buses in London, England and I thought about that for a minute and said no thank you. The traffic in London, is crazy and bicyclists in the street cars, trucks, cab's all kinds of people, I forget the number, but in like before it was privatized London Transport had like 7000 buses all of them the big RT double deckers that they have and like the 7R which is there busiest route has like 50 buses that run just that route and obviously running a school bus in Tennessee is different then a double decker bus in London, England, but when you do bus driving you have to be alert very alert.

    Over the years I've toyed with working for Limo companies part time and always shied away from it, the pay is I guess alright for a part time job, but the liabilities are a lot, you get these drunk people or even worse the bachellorette parties which are insurance company night mares and it's just to much.

    I know with school buses a lot of school districts have risk shifted and privatized there school buses and that's decreased the quality of drivers and service that they used to have.

    I think the double deck buses in England are the same way London Transport was put out of business and they privatized all the routes and I'm sure culture and probably training and equipment probably has all suffered some.
