Dear Mods...

I got into it with a CR England Flease Op...He pulled into the jersey truck stop and was going on and on about how he was a O/O..He went on to tell me he is out for 4 weeks and home 3 days.He runs 3500 miles a week and he will ''NEVER'' own the truck....He went on and on and on...At the end of the B/S i asked him how much a week he actually brings home...He said...

$734.00...

 

WOW! He was certainly living large huh?
USA Truck are having a dump about my downtime pay due to THEIR truck hitting me when a DRUNK guy drove bobtail into my 3 month old Western Star. Idiots have zero comprehension about rates etc.

The same thing happened in MO with an ACT Drivers Flease..He was a nice guy.But man he was clueless..We ran from Kansas City and he lived in Columbia..He went on and on about how wonderful this whole ACT IS AND GETTING A PRETTY kENWORTH EVERY 3 YEARS...

When he was done and jumping off RT63 i asked him what he makes on his 2500 miles a week...He said i gross between 550-700.00.....

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz man...WAKE UP...

 

Maybe some people go lease because they're clueless and they know it? It's still better than being a company driver. But true O/O isn't something you should go into unless you're sure you have the brains for it.

 

The staff here at TTR has heard your concerns loud and clear, between this thread and another like, we are working on a solution to it. It does take time to come up with a solution and implement one that we feel will be a good compromise for all. We ask for your patience.

 

oh yeah, the company driver argument, incorrect and sad in the same sentence, way to go

 

I am not even gonna go there with the company arguement.

 

And yet here you bashing lease drivers. Even after this post still bashing. Do what you said walk away from this thread. I for one am tired of hearing you bash people when all of your examples are so generic it's laughable. Just walk away.

 

He's actually got is down to an art form ... He'll be back in the next LO thread.

 

More clueless comments from more clueless drivers, surprise surprise.
See a pattern here though? This of us that have been driving over 10yrs KNOW that they are a joke. Only suckers, oops I mean people, that dont see it, are the ones who know no better and fail to take advise.
