    Some guys you can shake hands with and that's the contract,
    My brother was leased to the same guy,
    Someone once told me this " Is a free country " when was that ?
    Gooberment messes everything up.
    We don't even have freedom of speech, say something that's not politically correct and see how long you stay in office.

    My four months with NFI is what screwed me,
    b4 my 4 months with NFI I never had to put, I was fired on an application,
    b4 my 4 months with NFI I never had a bad DAC
    b4 my 4 months with NFI I could get a job with any company that had an opening
    DAC doesn't belong in a free country
    We have more alphabet organizations in this so called free country, than Russia ever dreamed of.

    That handshake doesn't hold much water, in a courtroom, when you are trying to collect the money you have been beat out of.

    I wasn't concerned about him not paying me,
    I did get concerned that some brokers wouldn't pay him though,
    All was paid just took time, sometimes.

    Call Farm2Fleet. I think Bill will give you 80-85%. But that's between you and him

    I get a rate I am more than happy with over 85%.


    And it's not his " big check at the end of the month".

    Why would he give me between 80-85% if you are getting over 85%?
