    So it is considered trolling when someone points out obvious failures ??:biggrin_25523:

    And you think it ok that a owner operator cant support his family or keep the lights on ???

    so it must be ok just to keep chasing the dream of being a big rig driver regardless of being able to support a family or keep the electricity on ???

    instead of banning someone (which is the norm here), back up why it is ok for these drivers who cannot support their to keep going.

    The fact of the matter is, you have downtroded on someone who is working his hardest to make his business work. He comes here to vent his frustrations with the industry, and you kick him. Thats not right.

    My husband is an O/O and is struggling as well, would you like to take a shot at him?

    MM's posts are here for everyone to read about the struggle that the AVERAGE O/O goes through. Its not all roses out there. He speaks the truth in his venture and you feel the need to trample all over his thread. I suggest that you think about this a bit, and ask yourself, what if this was me, or someone I love, going through this.

    Stop bashing the man for trying to support his family. :biggrin_25510:

    What's up with you? Did you get fired from your driving job and miss jabbing at people on the CB while hiding in your bunk so much you have to come on here and do it over the internet?

    Gotta love the internet! It gives people like this the anonimity to harrass people without fear of reprisal. Yes sir, the internet is the new Ch 19! Well pull on over driver so we can whoop your ###!

    If it was me, a friend, or a family member... I would be the first to pull the plug and the first to tell a friend or a family member to get out and go back as a company driver or a different job out of the industry. Providing for and supporting ones family comes first. What part of that concept and duty is not making sense ?

    You have 14 posts, and 3 years driving experience. I highly doubt that you are qualified to say pull the plug, or have any concept of what the business entails.

    What you have underlined is exactly what MM is trying to do, but you clearly can't see it. :biggrin_25513:

    Can you please take your negative garbage to your own thread so it is easier for everyone to ignore you?

    Something tells me you are the type that would stand over someone's death bed and utter those words...

    Yes you are trolling. All you have done is post BS that is intended to start crap. I never said it was OK for a O/O to not be able to support his family......fact of the matter is, it's not my business if he can or can't.
    I #### sure ain't gonna make it my business, just as you shouldn't.


    If you think banning is the norm, and you don't like it, go find another site to hang out at. I really don't care if you're here or not.

    Sometimes a good derailment is necessary.
