    @Big John Classic HQ - had a double take on your handle. Big John on here passed a couple years ago. I had many late night TTR conversations with him. He was running for Red when he passed.

    That's cheap. How long would the lease be? Maintenance on the operator for sure? It's still cheap.

    Sorry to hear about the other Big John.
    My dad also was called Big John. He passed also. For years I wouldn't let anyone call me that.
    All his friends said I look and act like him so l took the handle too.

    I'm certainly not the only one who has been duped by bill. In another topic about farm 2 fleet. A person aptly described the operation as a Ponzi scheme.

    It doesn't matter who the company is. There is always going to be a group of people that think they have been screwed.

    The only thing I know about Farm2Fleet, is they have a few, very loyal owner operators.

    History says it is very hard to turn a trucking company around, Hope you can do it Bill

    I think it was 90 weeks to pay the truck off with a $0 buyout, maintenance on lesse. That's how I got my truck. Really nice guy with a pretty large and spread out inventory. I think he'd be willing to work out something short term since he has a lot of stock. Better to keep them rolling than let them sit. Mostly old Interstate Distributors trucks, but he's had a little bit of everything roll through his inventory over the years, including trailers.

    You act like the issues Bill has been having paying on time are deliberate.

    Anyone who’s been on this forum for any amount of time knows better and I guarantee you that you will not convince anyone who knows him or has seen him posting for years on here that he has been screwing anyone deliberately.

    Oh look, another 7 post wonder (all 7 #####ing about F2F) Build some credibility and come on back. Bill has admitted his mistakes publicly and they are working to correct the problems. Have I been paid late? Yes, but they have communicated with us and we can actually afford to wait for the money. If it was a normal situation where I did not know the owners I would be a lot more upset. I do believe we are working toward a good place. You can listen to someone who failed here or you can listen to the partners who have been here 3 to 6 years. I do believe that anyone leasing on here needs to know the situation and I do know that the guy who started this week came in with F2F giving him full info. Nothing that happened here has been malicious.

    Rgr that, I agree....As I said in another post, I believe Bill will get things worked out....I also think that those who stick by him will be glad they did in the long run....Now, I could be wrong, but I don't think so....I've seen many come and go over the last 35 years and with the current climate many will go out, but if anybody can get things worked out I think it's Bill....

    Now, just a side note, you probably already are, but you guys that pull for F2F, I would hope that you all are helping and supporting him too, for as he succeeds, so do you...Remember, many hands make light work, idle hands do the devil's work......
