    What makes you say that?

    after 24+ years driving in the U.S. I would think he can make it 2 months in India lol

    his seemingly low morale in the third video. he's obviously suffering from a nasty case of culture shock. will he be able to keep on truckin'? i dunno. if it was me over there rather than him. i don't know if i'd stay or go. it'd be a 50/50 chance.

    I see what your saying, money can also be a pretty good motivator though.

    If you look at some of his videos on his channel or go to the Mercer thread on here you can see why I say money is very important to him at the moment. Mercer ran him out of business, he had to give his truck to his finance company he was 12 months behind on truck payments. Because some guy at mercer had it out for him I can't remember all the details but there all in his videos.

    right now, having money is better than being in the halfway house, or driving for c.r. england, or prime, or any of the other coolie carriers.

    i've also been looking at options overseas. however, unlike him, if i do go for it, am selected, and end up over there. i won't be complaining about something i signed up for. i'll suck it up and get on with it regardless of how massive the urge is to complain.

    despite all the crap i've said about them in the past, yes, i have been considering them as well as other american companies out there. i've recently renewed my passport book. hopefully it'll arrive at my house in the next couple of weeks. i also need to renew my hazmat endorsement. i'll do that once i have my renewed passport book.

    If he was 12 months behind in his truck payments.....what the #### was he staying at Mercer for? Sounds like he ran himself out of business staying at Mercer.

    I wondered the same thing, thats the one thing I didn't ask him about. Wasn't really any of my business.

    One question though, When you lease onto a carrier, don't you have to commit to a certain amount of time?
