    No problem. I have been quiet all this time and I am just finnally fed up with sitting back watching the posts knowing there is far more than what he is telling....
    Since I am not privy to the financial statements between Eclipse and Freight Pro , then all I have is what I do know.. He posted a $6k figure, I filed $5k and I got squat. As to my moving on,,,, well its in the works....
    If you will review the post I have kept my mouth closed and have kept any business between Rob and I out of here... I have posted my numbers with Eclipse which has nothing to do with Rob. When he boast of high gross and having his truck fixed then yes I have had it and finally opened my "mouth" on the forum.

    Eclipse won't separate our finances since it is all under "Freight Pro"

    This is my final post in this thread, so I leave you with this... if you had recieved what I did and saw that the other party was boasting high numbers and getting their truck fixed would you continue to bite your tounge. Sorry to mess up the wonderment of the Purple Hippo for the fans.....Signing off Waldo

    Since you're asking, I would have re-read the part about the truck, realized I messed that up and apologized. Then I would have asked for an explanation about the low payout for a reasonable explaination. Last I would realize that gross figure was a TEAM effort which would explain the good numbers.

    But that's just me.

    My truck won't see a shop for probably a month. That $250 was the first money I've received since I broke down. Whatever shoes you're in you don't want to be in mine either.

    You know, I used to have to get empty and full weight receipts when I was doing DITY (Do IT Yourself) for the military. Always felt odd going into a scale at a truckstop with a pickup and UHaul trailer, but I had to have the tickets to get paid!

    They might be doing something similar.

    Nope...The people in that picture were definitely tourists. Mom, Dad, and three kids. vehicle was packed down with luggage, bikes, etc...

    It was just an odd scene altogether, and I just shook my head at the time. I didnt realize that she had a picture of it until I saw it on here.lol

    BTW, that was taken on July,4th weekend.

    All vehicles have a GVR rating. I guess they just wanted to see how close they were to theirs. Maybe they were going to drop the bicycles and pull a boat or camper, or were worried about overloading the tires.

    I didn't know how heavy my pickup and car trailer were until I hauled a junker to the scrap yard the other day. I was suprised how much the combo weighed.
