    Then why is BBB recruiting on Facebook?
    Why does he remove anyone who asks questions from his FB page?

    Those of us that have had our hard earned money stolen by dishonest carriers in the past, see this F2F fiasco for what was. owner operators were owed money and left holding an empty bag.

    It's a club that many older owner operators belong to. The only way to survive this owner operator game is to get smarter each step of the way, lessons learned "red flags and warning signs"

    It's a long bumpy road from buying your first truck to selling out for retirement, good luck guys!

    I don't know the man or know much about his business but I know the type.

    They have good intentions starting out but get greedy. Then when things go south, they find it easier to screw all their creditors than to pay their bills, and the law allows that.

    These type people are on every street corner, wanting your business. I've taken my fair share of licks from them but as time went on I learned my lesson.

    If you want to sign on, go ahead, it will be a good life lesson. I myself will try not to go down that road another time.

    I believe I saw another bankruptcy from another business in their past... pre-F2F. If true, it is pretty common for one bankruptcy to beget another...

    That's the thing about the age we live in; you can dig up a lot of information on people.

    So they still make people pay for everything at 80%? I remember the marginal fuel discounts there. When they finally got a good one with Pilot they ####ed it up by not paying the bill. I topped up at Monteagle, TN Pilot last night there was no swipe fee and my price was $2.00 a gallon while the pump price was $2.55 a gallon. I pull a practically brand new $70,000 reefer trailer for no charge back and pay for no maintenance on it. No insurance charge backs either and don't pay for reefer fuel. Fuel surcharge on loaded miles. That's how a real company does it. For 80% they're awfull lean on what they provide.

    This MUST be an attempt at reputation rehabilitation...
    Some of these posts are willfully ignorant at best...

    They must be having price wars in Tennessee. I topped off at the Pilot in Jackson TN yesterday, $1.90 after discount. I will take it!!!!
