    The company has a mandate that they maintain a maintenance & reserve account for all drivers. It's like ask Mom & Dad to hold onto your allowance & then having to ask for it when you want to spend it. The 3 bank accounts we maintain is to have that money available to use when we need it & not have to wait 48hrs for Driver Services to transfer the money, then another min. of 48hrs for it to hit the bank.

    And honestly, when things are going really good - I have a tendency to forget all about the Reserve Account that the company maintains ..... Once in a while it's nice to see a "large" number in front of 3 zeros that I forgot was adding up....Or use it to pay for that year's "Uncle Sam donation".

    Every check gets divided as equally as possible into all 3 bank accounts (it's hard to split a penny, ya know)

    I can manage my own money, I don’t need to ask a company, and won’t let one hold my money, if they go out of business, how do you get your money, or is it just lost?

    If you think she is hot now, you should have seen her back in her CNBC days.

    @Dave_in_AZ you need to get the OM to authorize one of those Popeyes chicken sandwiches. Pretty tasty.

    You got that all wrong, he was not trying to insult you, he was putting forth the challenge. And you took that one to the alter. Really he was trying to get rid of the daughter, she was costing him a fortune and wanted some one else to pick up the tab!

    Not a Porsche, that is a Lamborghini.
    Older Murcielago. Looks like it has some sort of ground effects kit on it.

    Maybe, he and I still don’t get along.
    Usually everyone I hear has problems with the mother in law, she and I get along.
    He hates me.
    I don’t go to their place so he can be “the king of his castle”

    Maybe if I shaved off this beard, and got a hair cut and a real job..
    Wait...
    Where have I heard this before.
