    well cut the cord and let him go. he has to grow up, sooner or later. but in my opinion, once (or several times in your case) burnt, is many times learnt, and do not hire him to drive for you, should you become an o/o in the future. he will think he's got it "made in the shade" and re-start his crap all over again, eating heavily into your profits, which will be hard to earn for the first few years.

    let him be on his own, and maybe he will straighen out, but if not, at least you don;t have to carry that burden.

    jus, sayin'

    Fortunately I've learned at a younger age to listen to the guys that have been around longer than myself, it usually makes things easier. I don't really feel bad about it, I got him here, he got a trainer he knew (me) and a kick ### DM that will make his life easy as long as he does HIS part. He's got it made here.

    I'm gonna go make more money.

    I appreciate everyone's guidance, it has definitely helped make a decision, and helped me predict an outcome. Thanks a lot guys, I'm sure you'll be seeing a post soon enough with where I end up.

    This has to be some kind of record. Member requests advice, listens to advice, and pulls the trigger on his decision within days. No whining, no flame wars, no ########.

    What's this forum coming to?
     
    tucker, David_Simpson, Jibber and 2 others Thank this.
