    Interesting, worked for him for many years and left pissed and from what I have learned, owed more than any other driver. Bill and Lauren sold the company and one of the new owners told me personally that he agreed to pay back driver pay that was considered valid. That was in May 2016. In June 2016 I got my money.

    If talking to others in the F2F office, the only valid claim I hear from drivers in Mark. Never talked to him other than an email asking him not to send emails with the language and sexual stuff. My wife and I shared an email at the time.

    So all the talk about crooks and stealing from drivers come down to a single driver. And that is from verified sources, many that lost jobs.

    If Bill is working for someone, why would that be an issue? Someone posted about the IRS. They are correct. The IRS doesn't forget and I would guess with the amount listed if that is a true amount (BK filings tend to take the worst case) they will be working the rest of their lives to pay it off.

    I would never work for a company that Bill owned. He lost control of things.

    Sure is. You get up, go to work to take care of your family. You're doing the best you can to provide for your family and run a business, and some jackwad steals from you. If he were in your house, you could empty your guns and call for a clean up.

    But he's not at your home and the Castle Doctrine doesn't apply at all. The laws are written by criminals for criminals and they protect him, while you, hard working honest man get absolutely no help at all.

    And the most amazing thing about all of this? Some driver, just like you, reprimands others for spreading the news to protect other red blood hard working individuals. The very person that should be on your side say that this story "has no value."

    That has to be, without a doubt, the STUPIDEST post of the day. Somebody has a habit of ripping owner operators off, but it should not be put on the biggest trucking forum in the world? Even if I were a company driver, I would want to know this. Just because I couldn't use the info doesn't mean that I wont know someone who could. Work with us, NOT against us.

    And I do appreciate the ADMIN for allowing drivers to post this info.
