That's interesting. Basically you've downgraded
yourself to something like a company driver right now.

It looks the modern temporary problem is
lack of capital. -

That's not a gentleman's manner.
Some people may offer some info but it should only be up to them to do so, and sensing that a member doesn't want to talk about it should not be that difficult.
If I lost my truck tomorrow, I'd not exclude possibility to do nothing for an extended period of time, or do something completely else.
There's still a waiting period for a new truck and spending money on inframe or outframe, or even another engine, may not be the best solution at all.
Perhaps waiting on those 3-4 year old truck to come down on a price in a few months is better.
Irregardless, it is not uncommon for a solo owner operator to go do some work as a company driver during the time of resolving the issue, and if that owner operator is able to procure a truck on temporary basis to continue his operations that's even better. -
I have no problems if a member doesn't like to share
such info. But then not much is left out to argue about it.
Probably you missed the part when he mentioned
not having enough money in the bank to fix the old truck.Last edited: Dec 7, 2022

He’s just wanting to pick a scab, to make it bleed. Not the most classy thing to do.
You know, one truck operation that is leased on… Things didn’t go well…Nothing wrong with temporarily ceasing the way you do business. Consolidate, take another look at things, bring it in, circle the wagons…whatever and come up with a game plan. Little guy or corporate boards, are doing it now. That’s part of business.ducnut, rollin coal, gentleroger and 9 others Thank this.
