    Your a good friend for helping out your "friend". I hope he appreciates everything you do for him.

    He has done a lot more for me that I have for him. Trust me he doesn't owe me anything. I am glad that he is able to get back on the road and hopefully take full advantage of this second chance.

    In somewhat related news I get my living room back. Woo hoo!!!

    If your "friend" isnt smart enough to do his own research i say he is doomed for failure at this point.

    Im still a noob but one thing i know is this isnt an industry where you can expect folks to hold your hand through it.

    I think you should make a special effort to have you friend register here, and join us.

    I don't think you know my story friend. You should do some searches on some of my early threads on this board.

    To put it bluntly at this point I could not give two ##### about what she thinks. And as far as letting me? Yeah, that will be the day.

    Dude is 52 he is not computer literate and in fact hates computers I mean up until I would say 2 years ago he was still carrying around one of those old verizon black phones the big ones you had to flip and that the screen only gives you black numbers.

    I tried several times and if he had, I told him this, he would have probably been able to avoid a lot of the dumb rookie mistakes he did make that eventually almost cost him his living.

    Even though I haven't driven in almost 2 years I love this board every time I come here I feel like I learn something and I am filled with the love of the road that I miss so much.

    Has he pulled his MVR and actually seen that? A police report doesn't mean it's on his record.

    His MVR is clean its the DAC that's killing him also the fact that it was a jackknife. Still he is off to the races with his new company I just hope he doesn't have to stay there too long to get somewhere better.
