    you need to calm down and cool your oil:biggrin_25514: But according an earlier post of his " no idea I was cooling oil as I went down the road.LOL "

    Owning a TRUCK or TRUCKS is not for everyone who thinks they should try it.

    I was set up to haul Landstar under my own authority.Big difference between that and being a Landstar L/P.Nothing more than a glorified company driver and keep and eye on the news.These tax dodgers tax shield will soon come crumbling down.

    Ok, let's get this straight. Landsatr and Mercer both use guys who OWN their own trucks. Not "lease/purchase" deals. You take YOUR truck and run under THEIR authority. Nothing shady or dodgy about it. ENTIRELY different than a carrier trying to pay a driver on a 1099.

    I will say in kindness that in addition to being better informed you are going to have one h ell of an attitude change if you are going to succeed in this business. Attacking and disrespecting those that are doing well and have years of experience is NOT the way to do it.

    Attacking and disrespecting? Get over yourself,I haven't attacked anyone just stating problems of and industry I have seen go steadily downhill for 30 years.The stories and nightmares are contained in all 3 truck magazines I read every month.You TTR cheerleaders are doing nothing to help the plight of others as for every one of you super happy truckers there are a thousand who have seen the industry for what it has become.You may profess all you want to be and expert on the Landstar business model,but I have talked to them first hand.They buy trucks and trailers through Landstar just like all the other trucking travesties taking over this industry.

    the surprising part is you actually have no clue that you have no clue to what you are talking about. landstar doesn't sell trucks to their owner ops , neither does mercer.

    yep, in stead of an oil cooler , you need a brain.
     
    FLATBED Thanks this.

    Skate.............it's pointless. He got his 30 years experience reading three magazines a month....I can't compete with that. I've only been out here DOING it on my own since '92.......I gotta get readin' to catch up.

    You TTR cheerleaders are doing nothing to help the plight of others :biggrin_25523: and what would you suggest be done to help the plight of others ? when 98% will not listen to any valid advice that is given or imply anything positive is a LIE
