My sentiments as well. I'm sure they're plenty of people on ttr now that have seen the dirty laundry of f2f in all its glory. If guys still wanna run for Billy, so be it. They've been given plenty of warning. That being said, plenty of outfits out there that pay their o/os on time and without the circus

You're far too worried about what other people have, and not worried enough about how to go about getting that for yourself.
I used to think that way when I worked as a mechanic in the 80's. How the heck can someone afford the cars that rolled into the shop. I couldn't imagine how I would ever pay for a $20 thousand dollar car. Well of course I couldn't on a job taking home $800 a week and spending even more than that. I had to do something else and make more money if I wanted that.
Fact is, if you ever do figure it out, it's not all it's cracked up to be. Because you have to always keep in mind that there's more than a few people like you that just assume a bunch of stuff because I have one and you don't. Sometimes it's just not worth the trouble to put up with that crap. Sometimes it is.
I leased a new C240 back in 2001 for my wife. For three freaking years, every time someone came by the house to quote something (trash removal, tree work, etc) they'd see that #### thing in the driveway and think I was rich then quote something ridiculous. Crazy, considering there's a loaded Camry across the street that cost more and nobody even looked that way.
After a while, I forgot about that. I had a 2006 740iL for a year and a half. Jesus, you'd think I'd learned. I could go somewhere in my diesel Silverado that cost even more than the BMW and nobody would even look twice at it because it's just a pickup and not made in Germany. But you know what? It was a gas guzzling hog of a road machine and the best ever for a long ride somewhere. Like going out to Tunica on a whim to drop $100 in the casino. It had air conditioned seats so your ### won't sweat. Seriously.
And if you met me at a truck stop, you'd never imagine any of that was true. Well Craig might LOL.Hammer166, SL3406, scottlav46 and 7 others Thank this. -
Says the guy who's ok with his buddy Bill's shady business practices along with slow or no pay to O/O's and treating the company as his personal party funding source. So Craig why did the factor company pull the plug?? BTW Craig you're the one who is pathetic with no character....

Yes, we absolutely LOVE this car. Fun to drive but tough on a road trip with so little cargo space. My wife won't let ANY of the kids drive it. Pretty funny.

I'm surprised she lets you back it into your parking spot. How many pull ups do you get before she takes the keys?barroll, LumbraX, NoCoCraig and 1 other person Thank this.

Haha, I act the total gentleman and open her door (the passenger door) and I don't think she has the heart to tell me I am not drivingRedForeman Thanks this.

I don't know your situation, but when you lease to a carrier and terminate your lease, the carrier to whom you are leased has six weeks in which to pay you.Do Da man and Lone Ranger 13 Thank this.
