    I think we all get to the point of wanting to strangle our "trainer." Evidently I won...

    No bodies, LOL! Must have broken his spirit - last time I heard, he was lumping out in LA!

    He got "grass is greener over yonder" syndrome, and a gal he met on Myspace got involved somehow. Gal dumped him, the promises Sharkey made about a grand a week, home every weekend - turned more into waiting beside the road for road service in that busted-down junk they are pleased to call a "truck."

    He ended up in Springfield doing some kind of apartment management, then it was in LA running a cash register, then he told me he was going to start lumping. Hope it works out for him.

    Met Gator at Sapp bros in Peru Ill just a chance meeting he was telling my trainer about his fall, and I was like I know you lol! well what a nice guy, anyways almost time to go in for upgrade, im finding i can do just about everything without any help or forgetting any of what needs to be done, can honestly say im ready to get my own truck, teaming is fun and all but you can only be confined in a small space with someone for so long before you find yourselves ready to strangle each other, well hope everyone is doing well and Making money, U2 my condolences for your Grand Mother.

    Get out on your own Moose, You only get paid what he decides to pay you. On your own you will make more. Go company for at least a year to learn the business before you decide on a lease
