    What could or can he say to really save face? From what I have read the lines are pretty well drawn in the sand. Him defending himself his company or actions are useless at this point. A big ol I'm sorry isn't gonna fill the void of lost revenue either

    Do you think this this thread would be unresponded to if they could come and play the hero for having paid what was owed?

    It's indefensible.

    He doesn't have time for this any more, he's busy doing some live Facebook thing now, that way he can talk, we all get to listen and no one can refute his amazingness!

    I owe you an apology. I still say you were a jerk to me the weekend you quit, and the way it went down was not a mature way to handle it, and it made that weekend very difficult for me. But I believed Tom at the time and defended him to you, and in that and in some things I said to you publicly, I was wrong.

    April 29 I was called into the office 7 hours before I was scheduled to work, and laid off. No severance pay, no pay for unused vacation time, etc..but at least I wasn't weeks or months behind on payroll, so I guess I was lucky.

    But now I'm a fleet manager at a very large carrier in Chattanooga with headquarters fairly close to the Volkswagen plant, making about 35% more than F2F paid me. It's stressful, and I feel like I'm trying to herd cats. Cats that have been lobotomized. But it pays well and there's no longer any fear that my employer will shut its doors suddenly.

    I saw that. He is giving seminars to teach owner ops how to maximize the money they make. Kind of like Hillary Clinton teaching a seminar on how to handle confidential emails.

    It's sad @RedBeard that BBB can't learn from someone like you, admit some fault and apologize for some things, you are a stand-up person in my book. BBB running, hiding and launching his "you can be as awesome as me" Facebook crap is denial at it greatest. I assume that's his clouded view of being great and awesome.

    And I'll trade you Ritalin addled #######es for your lobotomized cats.

    It's hard to say but considering he's still running his Awesomeness and Greatness dog & pony show on FB where he can control who says what in the comments I'm guessing he's got his head stuck in the sand hoping this thread goes away (along with a few others).

    That was the last time he was "logged in". Dude spends hours a day promoting his greatness on Facebook so you can bet your sweet arse he looks at all these threads multiple times a day either under another user name or as a guest. I'm betting the IP address from Max Trans servers shows up multiple times a day on here.
