[QUOTE="jlkklj777, post: 2322582, member: 10886"]You read my post and concluded I failed? Wow! you need to reread that post. Here are the facts of my lease; The carrier I leased to FAILED. They failed to fulfill their end of the contract. Then they sold out to another carrier and closed up shop altogether. Had you more knowledge of this industry then you would also know Burlington Motor Carriers went thru several bankruptcies before buying out TSL and ultimately going out of business for good. The point to all this history? To illustrate that it doesn't matter how good YOU are if the company closes up shop you are left with NOTHING. Many times lease ops do not pay taxes at all because they are uneducated. They get caught by Uncle Sam and wind up losing their homes. You don't have to like me either. I know you lease ops bust your butt and do the best you can but you are modern day slaves hoping for a brighter tomorrow that may never come. If you last and make something of this lease with Prime then congrats to you but the cards are seriously stacked against you.[/QUOTE]
