Update.

Load got delivered this morning. A full 2 weeks from when BOB booked it, 11 days from when he loaded it, and 9 days driving 3,000 miles to deliver it.

Escorts came to $17,000 - he says permits $1,000 - So, $35k minus $18,000 in permit/escort leaves $17,500 - or $12,950 to the truck. Deadhead 600 miles to shipper. so somewhere around $3.50/mile to the truck all miles.

BOB advanced $11k on the load, so his red file will get reduced from $14k to $12k.

He blew 2 tires, needs a brake chamber, a mudflap, an inspection on his trailer - and another load to get a cash advance on.

Oh - the police showed up at the port looking for him. For the last 2 days BOB got called several times from a guy that SAID he was the LS agent, and BOB sent this guy a picture of his drivers license, plate number and bills - and kept blowing up his phone wanting location and delivery ETA.

Fun stuff.

So he making Dry Van money at best. Maybe I need to step my game up and get into big boy driving. That is only $6500 a week and easy to do on dry van.

Is your life so boring you had to come back to the place you pissed,cried, and vowed to never visit again? You went all over the internet bad mouthing all of these drivers and owners to show back up. Must be tough life being a lonely humblepie puss.

Why don't you head back over to the Has Been #5 thread? I'm sure they are clamoring for some more pics of your inedible BBQ for the Lonely Hearts of Tiffin fundraiser.

We all know that money will actually go to more beer to fuel these drunken late night tirades.

So BOB needs to book a load to take an advance against in order to stay afloat? How long has he been playing this check-kiting business plan?

It’s sad to watch. I mentioned several tools/tips/tricks with several aspects of LS and the permits/escorts/pricing, and he just hasn’t picked up anything I laid down.

For $700 he could have bounced to south Texas, got the class out of the way, picked up the jeep, and be ready to roll - instead, he’s dragging a 70,000 lb empty lead sled around, booking loads that are all inclusive gambles.

Hes a nice guy, hard worker, probably make a great company hand.

I heard that that humble guy’s body was found across the border down in matamoros. Some say he threw his laptop in the rio grand and rode off to the sierra madras never to be seen again.

I like to think he finally found peace

At least he didn't lose money. CH Robinson had this one on the board, 600 loaded miles that paid me a 5000 chicken quesadilla voucher.

I had to run outlaw at night since I couldn't find any oversize escorts on short notice (unless you're into BBW, definitely need to clear the Google search history now).

Sergi, former TTR member and the expert OD hauler had underbid me, so to cut the rate I rented a truck from the Uhaul heavy haul division. 29.95 and unlimited miles really helped. Too bad Shipping Wars is no longer on TV, I could have been a star.
