Just throwing this out there.

And as usual the thread goes off topic. Which is fine. I have come to expect nonetheless from this site at this point. I am truly disappointed in a lot. As I have learned a decent amount from a lot of the folks here. Not once did I ask for a pay site. I don't know where that came from. I just asked for a little area that we O/O could get away from the silly CB stupidity that we have to deal with on a daily basis. That was all. I guess this may get me a mini vacation however, it needs to be said. What most of us would like is a place to discuss business. Not wannabes or anything else. A business discussion forum. Call it Elite call it priveliged I don't care. BUT, it is the folks still out here making it and striving and surviving to be around and call themselves O/O. Please do something.

Talking about off topic....Sound like a rant to me.

Crazy D · Aug 24, 2013

Nope. No rant at all. just stating facts. It is proved time and time again.

You are exactly right. I want a forum where I can go and talk pure shop with other independent owner operators. I do not want to have to wade through all the BS questions and conjecture from guys who are possibly thinking about maybe someday, when all the planets align, getting a truck of their own and want to just ask questions about how to get started or what kind of money there is to be made. I and the other independent O/O are already doing it and trying to survive and grow our business. We need to be able to bounce ideas, learned life experiences and opinions off each other without all the distractions caused by guys who have nothing to offer because they have never experienced what we do every day. And yes there is also a big difference between independents and leased drivers. We have many tax, regulatory and business concerns that leased guys give up big money and freedom for so that they do not have to deal with it. This is why it is critical to separate them. It makes giving and receiving the information much more efficient. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to get an email to a thread I have subscribed to only to open it and find out it is a company driver with a smart ### comment or worthless question that adds no substance to the conversation. I eventually just unsubscribe to the thread because it is obvious it is permanently hijacked and is never coming back.

I wear clean clothes in the morning, dirty ones at night. They get that way by working. My truck has bugs on the front most of the time, and sometimes I don't have time to shower everyday. But I get the load there.
