Last year around this time I change company looking for liberty and cold cash going in with a nice saving . I was exited and drove this truck all over making great money life was good and all that I was paying was a $900.00 fee each week for 9 weeks. it was last year freight payed good I was happy. Then the owner pushed convince me that it was good to own So I bought and keep driving . But Right then had no clue about this business and business was slowing down working all winter spending my saving .At that point a new hired dispatcher with no experience was taking over and learning from is mistake on my expanse had no choice but to keep going thinking that the owner would correct my complaint and resolve my pain . I keep going and had no choice but to break the rules and drive more and rush to make ends meet. My wife was supportive and was alone most of the time made things harder on me. CUT THIS STORY SHORT BY now I have 14000 payed off bought new tires , clutch , power differential , and so much more hate up all my saving the truck had some mechanical issue was down for 3 weeks working small job to fix this . I Had enouph with this company I lost my temper might of say a things that was not pleasant and whent in but nothing again was done and I was back at it .So drove two weeks done good loads and my pay was taken starting with$4000 brokedown fee for rents and the owner took it upon himself to take my two weeks for other fees that just happen to put me under $2300 negative. knowing that I am at is mercy now I --pay or he takes ._--
THE QUESTION IS 1 do I take a loan for $14,000 to pay and keep the truck register insure and keep driving?
Question 2 or let it go cut free take a lost take all my things out and give her back and smile.?
I am truly hurt and feel so dumb that there is nothing I can do about it and allow someone to do this is difficult and I sure could use your advice before tomorrow.

Cut Bait and get out.
I wish maybe there is some kind of sticky that can help those avoid the siren call of the maidens that attracted most of the ship board crew leading them to abandon Homer during his Odessy.
The lure of 1099 and being owner operator etc. Is not worth it within the framework ofLease purchasing. And yes I bought a tractor which was a really sweet one back in the 90's but due to reasons beyond the scope view of this topic.. let's just say that the Lord knows best.
900 weekly net is not that bad. Here in the South it only takes about a thousand and then gas, electric and insurance etc. Hopefully your vehicles are paid off and your house will be soon. Then you can really start stacking that money. -
I am happy you have confirm my intuition . Its so hard to take such a lost in cash time and hard work. I was so confuse and hangry at myself so I look for someone to blame and crush that is responsible . As they watch me drown for quite sometime I resently confronted them all of them and shook up the company with some fear .But I tackle the wrong little tiny great looking fox . sure is ferocious . . then going back for two more full weeks of driving and gone with the wind they swallow my check. I am thinking of horrible things . but they got me by the balls and cutting them for a trophy. grrrr. as one say to me stay quiet and peaceful and get out of this will give me freedom.
THANK YOU EVERY ONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND WISE ADVICE.
