    I'm sad to read this, I was pulling for you to beat the odds and put some pies in some faces. Best wishes to you on you next endeavor!

    It takes a LOT of guts to be this transparent with someone you know face to face, let alone on an internet forum.

    No one condemns you for at least trying, at least I don't.

    You'll be fine...

    Are you going to keep your options open in the interim for other company positions that may be more lucrative for you? I suspect you have some good experience & value built up now that could go a long way in such a competitive market right now.
     
    UturnGirl Thanks this.

    Yes a new thread would be good.
    Your upfront honesty is very refreshing.
    Many on here would be interested in hearing how it ' really' is at Jbh.

    Sorry to hear the news. Like many others, I was cheering for you on your journey. I would highly recommend other potential lease/purchase folks to read this thread. Not saying others will face the downfalls you faced but simply to show the risks that they COULD face.

    From a staffer's point of view, if you are going to discuss your company driving journey (and I hope you do), PLEASE start a new thread. Some folks won't be able to keep it straight from the L/P side to the company side if you keep it in the same thread.

    Best of luck in your new journey, UTG.

    I’ve enjoyed reading your thread...the ups and downs, the jokes and the troll spray you used every once in a while. You gave it a shot...and you learned from it and have many stories to tell know. That’s living life.

    Please continue to write of your journey as a company driver...I think many would enjoy it

    Best wishes
     
    7-UP, UturnGirl, 88 Alpha and 2 others Thank this.

    I hate that you are throwing in the towel I definitely wanted you to succeed at this. I enjoyed the way that you posted the good and the bad. You have a sense of humor about it and took the criticism very well.

    It can happen to anyone at any time no matter how much money they have put back.

    You did come on here and state that you was going to give the good the bad and the ugly and I applaud you for that. Some people get into a lease and state the same and when it gets bad they disappear never to be heard of again or they blame the company they are leasing from. I know a couple of these people personally.

    I hope that you are allowed to have your animals ride along with you.

    Yes please start a new thread and let us know what it is so we can keep up with you.
