    Looked like a lot of happy drivers at the mercer booth in Louisville this morning. No kool aid, a lot of pizza & pepsi though.

    And one more thing I read "don't worry what other drivers are getting paid" are you kidding me! Why would you not want to know? I ask everyone to get a idea of what markets are paying.....I don't like leaving money on the table

    Also I can figure out what companies are charging

    I don't care if I had my last five dollars to my name in my pocket, NEVER, and I mean NEVER! would I walk out of a funeral and leave my wife to deal with the death of a loved one alone. You sir are truly one sad individual.

    "I just look at were I got and it's from making money one problem is I never say no. Motiva called a few years back I was at my wifes grandma's funeral walked outside to get the phone they had a major problem and needed a truck I left my wife there crying when she needed me the most but I left to go make money"

    Bubba, we have all done things we aren't too proud of.........but THAT is over the top.

    I carry a toolbox and spares. I even have a air hose and tire plugs. I don't stop for anything.

    Your drivers are costing you a buttload of money.

    I read that was was startled.

    Bayou....I truly do not understand you....my original post was not directed at you or anyone in particular but reading your various post over time I have asked myself are you bi-polar? Some of the decisions you make baffle me, and walking out on your wife at a funeral, dude thats just insane....you go back and forth, you want to sell, you want to lease, you want to broker, your losing money, your only profiting $10,000 a year .... Dude you are all over the place .... If you made $300,000 yourself common sense would tell a person if you add additional equipment you should estimate it at $150,000 MAX...nobody is going to work, or maintain YOUR equipment like you...Man .... Good luck....

    I didn't say I am proud of it but I did it. I was in hot water for a long time only reason I told y'all that is to show y'all my dedication that's what paid for my house that's what paid for everything I own, ya I've wasted alot of money I don't know many people that has paid $28,000 for a motor in a mud truck but I did it.....

    Sometimes you have to do stuff you don't like to get you farther in life!!

    Thats not dedication, that is a sickness. Money is more important to you than your own wife, I truly feel very sorry for her. On the flip side, it does bring alot of light on the situation, when will you realize that money is just paper, nothing more, in reality it means nothing, and money will never make you happy. But I do want to thank you for sharing that, now we all know why you always seem so unhappy, and nothing is ever good enough for you.
