    that's really helps answer questions doesn't it? Is it because you don't have an answer? let me slow it down so you can under stand. why did you buy a trailer instead of leasing one from mercer in case you didn't work out with open deck? it was a straight up question, but you choose to answer like a 3 year old.

    I'm not "playing off" anything. For an exact quote I said if he was "only home every 90 days, he didn't have much of a life." And I stand by that. When I was much younger I acted in a similar way. I didn't have "much of a life" either. Now if I'm gone two consecutive weekends it's a long time. At the time I didn't realize I was missing anything either. But I was; just like he is and you are if you are out for 3 months at a whack. Is it "wrong"?? Hell no. It's a choice. In my opinion an unwise one; but if your business model dictates you be out that long you do it.

    As to the freight. IF you are only leaving the home 20 four times a year.............as I said earlier.....getting a "good" rate is no big deal.

    that also directly what I said you said, it might not be what you would do, but if it works for him that's his deal, its not for you determine what life he has or how much of a life it is, that's a bit overstepping the bounds.

    You are obviously referencing one post about getting a load out of Texas for $2/mile. That doesnt reflect what I am getting across the country. It ok pumpkin, I can already see that you didnt want to comment on anything else.

    You told us what your flats average & I'm not gonna post on here forklift rates, especially when you already did! Like I said you have 22 posts now, someone with your intellect should breeze through that in a few minutes!

    I could care less how you work, you came on here flapping your gums like your some big shot, saying I spend to much time at home, saying how easy it was getting out of TX at $2/mile, calling people pathetic-uneducated-idiots, you think no one's going to respond to it? We were arguing for days, not one of us resorted to name calling, or calling some one out to a "trucker challenge", that shows the mentality! I hope you can drive circles around me, you need the extra miles to make the same!
