    WOW this forum is getting like a soap opera. iv'e been gone a few days and we have Nasty words,lies,bashing,andTankergirl told us of her wings..
    Waldo I know I don't know you but there seems to be somethig missing in this story.Iv'e known Rob for a while now and he is in my view a Very Honest and Truthful person.Now im not saying your not. so please don't misunderstand. Rob explained how eclipse works there settlements with the fuel cards,10% brokerage,10% trailer rent.quick pay charge etc. as an owner of a company with owner opers and company trucks I know how confusing a settlement can be.if you would like you and rob can email or pm me your load records and settlement sheets.since day 1 and I will sit down and figure them out and see where it all went wrong..

    ps Eskimo why are you such a Hater? I can't figure out if your a guy who used to be an o/o and failed so your jealous.or a company driver who can't get ahead? or just plain nasty. I would hate to think your just an #########.
    Now be nice to each other. friends are hard to find and even harder to get rid of.LOL

    All the best Walt

    Agg.. I was gonna post that it was the fuel pump, but looks like HwyPilot already beat me to it.

    Anyway, here's to a great week, it's already starting off pretty good and I haven't left the house yet!

    As for the rest, well I've always had the benefit of more and better quality information in these matters, and have to assume the difference is in there somewhere. You all can use your hearts and minds to reach a decision on the rest as I am really done defending myself needlessly. Mob psychology is a tough hurdle to jump and better men than me have gone down for it.

    I took a day to think about it, and have returned to a swamp of supportive PM's so I thank you all for that... though it would be nice if reasonable people were as confrontational as a-holes lol... go on record dangit!!lol Oh yeah, I was making a point.... I'm staying put. Read on at your peril~:biggrin_255:

    Well said Walt. I also,know Rob to be trustworthy. Rob and I have become friends and I value his friendship.
    I have given Rob trucking advice as well as others. Rob and I have disagreed on some issues. During our disagreements Rob was always civil.
    That is one of Rob's best qualities. He is a civil person.
    I do not know Waldo as well as Rob. Waldo has been kind to me as well. I wish they could resolve their problems in private. I think Rob had good intentions and was trying to help Waldo. Trucking is stressful. Expecially if there is money problems.
    I think it is time for Waldo to move on. If he does not trust Rob it is best for the both of them.
    This thread is not much fun anymore. It is like a train that has jumped the tracks. I wish it would get back on track.
    It is OK if people such as Eskimo are critical of Rob. I just wish we could all be civil.
    Rob and Waldo-Good Luck to both of you.

    then why do you hate him? he's just a guy trying to make it In the trucking world.we all screw up now and then but we don't tell the forum experts about it. he started this thread to tell of his experiences learning to be an owner/oper. as for the falling out between waldo and rob that should never have been aired on an open forum.Ill be honest I told rob not to allow waldo or anyone to just use his authority.but he felt he could help another trucker to get on his feet.well as the saying goes ( no good deed goes unpunished). i hope waldo and rob can resolve there problems.one good thing did come out of this whole thing.all the guys that think letting others use your business for free becouse they need a hand will work. thats what companys like warner and jb are for.not becouse you cant do it on your own. your just unprepared for all the pittfalls in the trucking industry.just having a truck will not a company make. it takes $$$$ and contacts.having a few friends in the industry wouldent hurt.and i don't mean invisable friends on a forum!! well let the:biggrin_25516:begin. it makes for better reading:biggrin_25525: All the Best Walt

    Walt, I have said it before. There are some things that I can and do respect Rob for. There are many others that I obviously don't. What most don't realize is that I have remained VERY civil as compared to what I could have been. Most of the real issues and the truly derogatory things that I had to say to him or about him have not been posted publicly. Most of it has been said however in the form of private messages.

    As for the root of my issues with Rob, they will remain private. Rest assured that he knows what they are though.

    What I said about not being jealous of anyone is this thread came off pretty badly. What I meant is that I am not the jealous or envious type. Never have been. I have a very good life and am happy with my life.

    If the only thing that you know about me is based upon what I have written in this thread, I would say it would be a safe assumption that I am a total #######. That really isn't the truth though, even though I can be an ### at times. Those few people from TTR that actually know me and my friends from my everyday life know better. I learned long ago that the opinions of only three people really matter in regards to me and my actions. Myself, my significant other, and my God. The rest of you are free to form your own opinions, good or bad, it really doesn't matter. Regardless of what your opinions of me might be, I will continue to post publicly as I see fit.
