Free stuff

My son did that to me last night after I went to bed, woke up in the middle of my sleep rolling in teddy grahams.

 

I pull reefer so I get plenty of free aggravation and just enough praise to make up for it

 

150 pounds frozen Delmonico steaks
50 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts
A 50 pound bag of onions
A couple 50 pound bags of potatoes

 

So you never worked for prime but you know all about them eh?

We get a lot of O/O's coming in our section of the forum such as yourself. Many upset at us for their sort comings in business. They run business which aren't financially fit enough to compete with us as a carrier. Usually that's because those O/O's are low on funds and don't have enough capital to invest(started mine with $125k so who you calling broke) in order to be as profitable as they would like. Sometimes its because they aren't willing to run an efficient business. They want a shinny and fast truck not an efficient one, they won't invest in things like apu's, low rolling resistance tires, they want to idle and waste fuel, they don't want to slow down to save fuel, they don't want to use a fuel purchasing optimization program, etc, etc. They got the "I ain't gonna's" and the "I don't wanna's", I ain't gonna and I don't wanna do that even though its what's best for my business but yet they expect to be compensated anyway. Talk about entitlement. This type of folk is usually dependent on running for some pie in the sky unrealistic rate which is the only way they can make their necessary profit is to expect the market to pay more to compensate for their lack of dedication, again entitlement attitude. These folks dont like the fact that this business has become more competitive with time they don't like the elogs and the more efficient aerodynamic equipment that the big companies are running and they are convinced that the large companies are ruining their chances of getting the rates they need. They always want to try to convince everyone else that they are running for too little money in order to do what they can to push rates up to where they need them to be, instead of getting proactive and trying to figure how to do the work necessary in becoming more profitable.

Not saying that any of this is you, but after you began trolling here unprovoked it sure is how you're comimg off.

 

Ouch, That sounds too much like free market.

 

I'll occasionally get a free meal from some of the places I deliver gas to.
