    Makes you wonder what they fear, having guards and all! And, storyteller, sounds like you hit the nail on the head!

    NaW!
    Sounds like a lot-0-work.
    After awhile, it's gut instinct. :biggrin_25525:

    I, Shakey AfterShock would not kid
    about that.
    That's SERIOUS!


    Shakey AfterShock approves this message.
    Well DuH!
    Obviously not if I'm postin' herein'.
    Might be lost somewhere betwixt shippin' &/or receivin'.
    Maybe it was the world class trip plannin', or lack thereof?

    Gettin' to a facility is one thang --- but I'm here to tell y'all, .... SOMETIMES gettin' back out and on your way is even trickier than gettin' there.

    It's a good idea to ask BEFORE y'all leave the dock to be sure out is the opposite of in.
    It's not uncommon for out to be a different way.

    Remember how y'all got IN though
    Just in case that's NOT the way OUT, too.
    If it isn't --- make a note of it for potential
    future information.
    Y'all never know ---- y'all might be back.
    Stranger thangs HAVE happened.
    Doncha know.

    But I digress ...................................

    I fear what they fear is
    fear itself. :biggrin_25524:

    I doubt it's due to too many hand-shakes, and thank-you hugs.
    Whatta ya thank? :biggrin_25512:

    Yeah,I understand what you're saying. Here's the part of the program I'd stay away from...
    "Lease your own truck and become an independent contractor running your own company.
    Lease your own truck six-month demo lease.
    Remain as a second seat at 13 cents a mile and continued company benefits"

    I don't know but I'd guess this program costs around 5 or 6 thousand dollars. Mine costed $600 and I wrote it off on my taxes, so it really was free. We also had a blast at the community college where I took the course.

    I DO however know some O/O's who have leased on with companies and are doing very well. Every one of them is experienced and likes the freedom and opportunity to make more money. Their arrangement is much different ,though,than the setup some amateurs find themselves in.
     
    AfterShock Thanks this.
