    I know exactly where I went wrong in my business and learned from it. I also never told anyone how to run theirs, other than to make suggestions based on what was working well for others at F2F at the time. Neither I nor anyone else at F2F ever attempted to assert control over you or any other O/O, and I got quite a few messages from other F2F O/O's saying the exact opposite of what you say here.

    One can tell a lot about a person's character by their reactions to people in difficult times. Your words confirm my previous assessment of your character.

    Yep, if anything he ought to be listening to guys who didn't make it to see what they did wrong and learn from it. Instead of taking some superior attitude. And I agree you had an excellent birds eye view of the fleet and saw who was booking what, who was managing well, and who wasn't. Your advice could have been invaluable to anyone willing to listen and try.

    Most certainly that would have given you a new perspective yourself if you ever chose to get another truck. Lots of drivers there were failing but wouldn't take advice from anyone. And would continue doing the same things over and over and over.

    You were one of the few that would actually mention some of the sylectus expedited bid freight you saw at night when I called in. There was another guy there who did that now and then also. Others in that role at various periods were sleeping, drinking, or smoking pot on the clock. Amazing how hard core some of the drivers still there will pile on and attack others who are critical of what was going on there. Blindness. And for what? Who knows? Facebook friendship? Being part of the in clique? They're in for a rude awakening one day.

    Mr. Deen has what, 5 years behind the wheel? He'll make a business mistake eventually. I'll try to refrain from engaging in schadenfreude if (when) that happens.

    A while back many of you remember that I stuck up for Bill, F2F, and others that were sticking by him, including you RC....That being said, I've refrained from commenting up to now, to see how this saga plays out....That being said, I've learned over the years that there's always two sides to every story and somewhere in the middle is the truth....That being said though, admittedly with no dog in the fight, I've no idea who's owed a legitimate settlement and who's not, but I will say this; bottom line, whoever is owed a legitimate settlement needs to be paid.....To not do so is wrong, and Bill, if you're listening, if in fact $$$ is owed, I implore you to do what is right.... In life, the right road is not always the easy road to take, but, one must always endeavor to do what is right, no matter the cost....I wish all of you the best, I'm out......

    Sad for sure especially when lltrans spoke out and was ripped apart on here! Probably wrong but in some ways hope he kept the trailer?

    Marek you need to file a lawsuit ASAP. I heard Bill owes an op 10X what he owes you. Obviously he and Lauren are going to file BK, not to protect their assets because they have none, but to shake off all the people they owe money to.

    I also heard they are getting fired from F2F. Apparently the new owners can see right through their pathetic lies and are smart enough to separate themselves from such scoundrels.

    If you want to serve Bill papers you are gonna have to go to the country club and find him on the golf course.

    Do I even know you? Do you even know me? Pretty pathetic personal attack. Character, or the lack thereof, always shows through. Stay classy bud.
