    About 3-4 min5hs ago. I stopped reading every page, and switched to readinbg every now and then. So from what I gather at some time you switched trucks or leases. Now I'm reading your hanging it up. I am very very sad to hear this. I had/have nothing but high hopes and the best intentions in mind for you. I was soo looking forward to pointing you out as another successful lp person. Wish you had of been at my company. With your work ethic NO WAY in the world. Would it have not worked. Good luck in whatever is next.

    Let's see..if mover man was uturn does that make you mu-turn?
    Hardeeharhar. Yes, I could have made it work with the right truck. Just wasn't able to maintain when the miles and rates plummeted at the same time the second truck headed for shop time. The way these leases worked I would have been much better off buying a truck on my own and bypass lease companies . Funny thing is...after losing all with the first lemon truck I wanted to switch to company to recover then and there but was in a weak place. With 2nd truck I knew it was a gamble and a long shot but took a run at it anyway.

    Now I'm going to company and it will be a pleasant schedule etc. But man oh man am I in the hole financially.

    I read in the news lately that some people made some serious spending money with a Go Fund Me account! ;) Seriously tho, I worked for JB for 8 years and 5 of those years was on the intermodal acct out of Kansas City, I did that til I retired in 2006.
     
    Dave_in_AZ and UturnGirl Thank this.
