    Hey all, I have a question. Im in Atlanta Ga and a friend is offering to fill my rig for half of what it would normally cost, I'm kind of weary because you know the saying...if its too good to be true, it may be. Anyone have any experience(s) with a situation like this? Or thoughts?

    he is selling it to you out of his tanks while his company is paying for it. make up your own mind as to what you do but know what you are doing before you do.

    I guess you call it stealing but im paying for it so i aint the one stealing it, if i can buy 100 gallons for $200 ill be more than happy to do so..... I know ill get flamed for it but i could care less, big corporate companys have been screwing the O/O long enough so why not returnh the favor? lol

    I wasn't saying I wouldn't. then again i'm not going to tell him to either.

    You sure won't get a reciet for it so make sure you get it cheap enough to compensate for that. lol

    Also when a company steals money from your check by cutting miles or if your percentage cutting the rate on the load by lots off $$$ to line their pockets with money they are considered a business. But if you try to take yours back by getting even with them, even if it means selling their fuel you are called a thief..... I dont know im from the "ole school mentality" and was taught by my ole man, he told me when a company screws you "dont get mad, get even!" As old and dumb as he may be, LOL, he is 100% right in my book.

    I guess you could call it stealing?? Knowingly buying someone's property from a 3rd party...yeah, I guess that'd be stealing. But you're right, you ain't the one stealing it, you're just receving the stolen property.
    If you want to "return the favor" why not just stop doing business with a company that you know is "screwing the O/O" ? Oh well, however you wanna justify it....
