[QUOTE="Dino soar, post: 11397744, member: 208212"]I honestly don't think anyone here called you stupid. I learned a long time ago not just on internet forums but the written word like text messages and that type of thing is hard to determine someone's intent. Sometimes it requires very carefully crafting questions and answers and sometimes the questions and answers in responses are not interpreted by their true meaning. You have to realize that on this forum there are probably threads every other day of someone that wants to buy a truck. Many many many many times it's someone that doesn't know how to drive. They want to buy a truck and put somebody in it and count the money. Or they just want to buy one and and drive for themselves without ever having driven anywhere and they have no idea what's involved including insurance cost and including the pitfalls and problems that they would have avoided just working somewhere for some period of time. No one knows who you are, they're just trying to figure out where you are in this situation. Well some people are more critical than others this is true. It's kind of part of the nakedness excuse the term, of exposing yourself on a forum to a group of people on the internet. Some will be harsh some will be more gentle most will try to be helpful. I'm not going to go back and re-read everything but just from what I remember I think most of the members were trying to figure out where you're at in this as I said earlier. Because like I said many people like yourself come on here and they don't see the obvious stuff and honestly this business has a 95 percent rate of failure. I'm not sure if you're aware of that or not but it does. And there are a lot of things that seem obvious that are not obvious about this business that seem very obvious when you're on the outside looking in. There is a reason why that failure rate is so astronomically High. Like I said I'm not going back through all the posts to look at it but I really don't recall anyone calling you stupid or that type of thing. But believe me there are plenty of people coming on here asking something similar to you that have never even sat in a truck. If you have that many people around you in trucking I would think that you'd have all the resources that you need right there. Maybe this particular forum here is not a good fit for you. Good luck in your Pursuits.[/QUOTE]
