    For heavens sake !

    Don't tear up your new truck .... they'll
    tow it to the shop and they'll mess it up more

    :confused:

    jetted home once, paid 900$ total cab an airfare. i would do it again, if it came to the point where it didnt make sense financially then i would do somthin else. most people wouldnt want to live like me, i wouldnt want to live like most people, like i said i value my freedom, soldiers have died for my freedom and i intend to make their sacrifice worthwhile. i recently mentioned to a family member about buying a truck, they went on about how much tires cost, i said i could pay for new tires on my company truck many times over so i think im gonna be alright. lol like i say when the negativity starts, "im good" lol

    Financial freedom is a beautiful thing. I LOVE the fact that I'm in a position financially that I don't have to depend on anyone to get me anywhere.

    I wouldn't team with ANYONE. I'm not that trusting.

    Received confirmation from the Tax man
    ..... the trip home is NOT deductible
    It's considered personal trip as opposed to a business trip

    Attention ALL Poly Drivers :

    Please stop giving rides to broken
    down drivers .... ITS NOT YOUR JOB !

    Let Poly pay for the motels

    No one should have to be confined
    in a truck for days on end with
    another driver against their will .

    Overrule their attempt to coerce you into
    another mans truck via large hotel
    bills thrown back onto you when you elect
    not to be picked up .

    So what's the deal? You are wanting to sit and wait on your truck and they don't want you to?

    Basically I'm a loaner ( no pun intended )
    but yes .... I'm content to sit at the hotel
    collecting break down pay while my truck is in the repair shop .

    You cannot decline a ride if the rescue driver invites you into their truck according to the new policy ..... I've had 2 back haul loads rescued where the driver said he would not take me back .... I was so very happy to be on my own and free

    :)

    Guess I'm one of those weirdos who likes
    to be left alone

    Yes that's your way around being forced to get a ride. Just say you won't drive or sleep in the truck. Doubt the guys willing to pick someone up will be willing to just let you sit unless it was less than a day drive. If someone is willing to let you sit then there's really no good excuse not to take the ride.

    Hopefully they will get you running soon and you won't have to worry about all the bs.
