    Taste is clearly in the eye of the beholder! I figure you are a snot nosed Millennial and likely only drink Craft Brewery Beer! You can have it.
     
    Old_n_gray and ElmerFudpucker Thank this.

    He was talking about owner operators in that post as in doesn’t hire them anymore. In no way did he mention his employees.

    I don't think you have a taste if you drink that.
    And I'm not a Millennial.

    I probably don’t. Thankfully I will be OK without your approval.

    If you don’t get it why don't you ask him to make it clear for you that he has only company drivers.

    You’re not gonna twist your dumb on to me. We all know including yourself that you were referring to him paying those owner operators (when he had them) at 50cpm on a 1099. So take your lick and move along hot rod
