    If you actually read my post I said that I don't work for them, this is the way that I understand it to be, and this is the information that I've gathered from my research.

    Never said I work for them never said I know everything about it.

    What gets me is the OP hasn't returned, we are bantering back and fourth but when someone wants to get help with their failing carrier, they ask a couple questions and then go dark.

    Seems to be the way of things. I'm pretty sure I also saw this over on Facebook the other day, but I could be wrong...

    Yeah guys I get people actually calling me asking for help, the bank and lenders I work with send them to me and I get partial info with questions or they take my criticism wrong then I hear they complained about my advice ... and still most of them fail.

    I've never really understood why people let ego get in the way of good information. If you're failing and need someone else's help, you're obviously doing something wrong. Getting advice from a third party who knows what they're doing and is evidently successful enough that your bank is sending you to them... And getting pissy about that advice? Stupid. Can't fix it.

    Many people do not like to hear the obvious answers.

    I've had a 50 year old man crying, he had to sell his beloved truck because he didn't take the advice about how to run his business. When I got it, it was so beaten because it has three years of neglect and junk. I could not justify putting the truck on the road, not making financial sense. So it was decided to be dismantled and make some money off of it. About three months later, the guy calls me and asked if his truck is in our fleet. He wants to get it by making a special deal (read HUGE discount) but the girl who took the call looked it up and said "that was junked a month ago" ... there was silence on the phone,

    A truck is a piece of iron, used to make a profit.I keep mine forever, but I sleep in them, not with them. lol
    If he was neglecting maintenence, he was doomed from the start. That is what breaks 99% of the ones I see that goes under.
