    Since message boards were once the place for info on the internet and have now been left in the dust by Facebook groups, Twitter aka X etc... Why is it this site is full of trucking has beens? Like the same 8-10 posters who post here all day every day who i'm sure haven't run a truck, had a job or run a business in years yet proclaim they are experts at it.

    Then when said has beens are called out on their nonsense they run to the biggest has been. A nearly 80 year old who hasn't driven a truck in years aka REO a retired old man who has nothing else in his life.

    So enjoy your echochamber circle jerk.... It is very entertaining.

    Well, if I’m gonna ask someone how to run an overhead on an N14 I’d ask @REO6205 he’s probably run one since he’s a dinosaur- cause I haven’t , or if I’d ask another vet about a 3406 I’d ask @wore out
    Or ask about Midwest dry van @Siinman

    There are good folks here that are appreciated. That’s why I’m not at x or Facebook. It’s not for everyone.

    Not that it really matters but I drive several days a week. Short trips, to be sure, but definitely driving. Low bed, logging truck, rock truck...whatever is needed. The rest of the time I'm in the office or driving my pickup checking on our jobs. This time of the year especially, it's full time.
    I wasn't involved in any of your previous problems today so I went back and read all of your posts that were deleted by another staff member. I can't find any fault with his actions. You've been looking for a fight all day.
    Since you singled me out I'll be the one to show you the door. You're done here.

    Wonder if any of these guys that pop up like this have been Tall Joe? I kinda miss the disagreements I had with him. I still chuckle when I think about him telling me I’m like the rancher’s wife’s lap dog that doesn’t leave the house and gets fed all the good loads from the carrier I’m leased to.

    I don't think so. I was ok with Joe. He was disagreeable sometimes but he wasn't a troll IMO.

    My guess is he was just temperamental or he got on the boards when he had been drinking now and then. I've done that and deleted stuff later.

    You and him did have some friction though @LongFLD, no doubt. about it.
     
    JoeyJunk, blairandgretchen and bzinger Thank this.

    I think the difference here vs. the general internet - is that we have to abide by a fairly simple set of rules in discussion. To me , it teaches me to creatively use vocabulary to convey a point, whilst reminding me that it needs to be something I would be comfortable saying to your face.

    I've always said I don't mind listening to anyone, from raving lunatics to losers to successful, humble, boastful , liars or convicts - doesn't matter.
