Help for stranded truckers, specifically a new Owner Operator?

Says he's an independent so you are correct. He's paid 1099.

 

Most of us have made our fair share of mistakes, and for the few who have never made any, congratulations on your brilliance.

 

I gave a guy a ride on May 4th back from Fremont Ne to Joplin, Mo, He had blown an engine.
Delivered his load the day before, can remember because i had broke down, due to a new oil filter blowing a hole in it from Speedco NLR.

Ask around, We were in the shop when he was talking about breaking down and such.
He paid me $300 to deliver his load with doubles, then bring him home, wasn’t much, but he asked what he owed, i actually said, “Help someone else if your able.” but when we got back to Joplin he pretty much forced me to take the money.

 

Most of us wouldn’t have our wives e-begging.

 

Maybe she's letting him walk home while he thinks about his mistakes

 

Rent a car and drive home. Or drive over and pick him up.

 

I think the poster said it’s his truck.So he would have to be paid as a 1099 since I don’t think any company hires a truck.So brilliant deduction on that one

Never would say where he was

 

If he did he might have gotten a ride home
