Cheap freight hauler asks for donations when can't pay repair bill

I'm surprised the mega companies don't offer loans out to their contractors. Seems like a good business opportunity to keep the suckers hooked in

 

Lol you have a good point there

 

To be honest i didn't even watch the video. Too busy driving today aaaaaannnnd frankly.....most of those videos are the same "me ####ed up, gib moneys plz" so wasnt planning to either.

But again i didnt have info and my point remains. Until i have info i dont make snap judgments and stay in the middle until i know more. Course im also a skin flint tight wad so i dont hand out money often. Last time i did was to my favorite fox rescue shelter. Otherwise its food or stuff like bork boxes.

 

Hmmmm....well....I've heard in the past that it's good to help a driver out. The brotherhood man.

 

Saw the video yesterday and showed my wife. Ironically, we were discussing how fast money can go when Broker misleads you on an load or your truck has unexpected issues like this guy. However, as Adults we shoild have levels of retainers especially when operating a business. In Most cases larger carriers or any company foresees issue ahead with lesser prodit margins a lot have that emergency fund, have linea of operating credit and watch their margins. Margins is everything in any business. Unfortunately, this O/o did not learn that yet. I don't believe on kicking someone by laughing at them when their down & at their worst. In todays market it can happen to the best who lose their focus. The GoFundMe account helped him for now so hopefully he will learn his lesson. It takes guts for a grown man to go on camera like that and beg.

 

If it genuinely helps (read: doesn't enable) then yeah. We've all been down through no fault of our own.

I'm happy to give somebody a hand up. But I won't make it more comfortable for someone to stay down.

 

I’ve always agreed with that myself. A hand up is something I’m happy to do, a hand out I’m not interested in. I hadn’t watched any of the videos but from what KW6969 has posted the guy has no business being in business and is just prolonging his demise. Heck, he’ll probably get people so sucked in that he gets 35k next time!
