First of all if it was my truck and my driver did that I would have paid him in the first place avoiding this incident. Or did we forget the o/o did not pay me - THAT IS THE FIRST ISSUE THAT IS WHAT STARTED THE WHOLE THING OR DID YOU PEOPLE FORGET THAT - THE THE HONEST OWNER OPERATAOR TRIGGERED...

Snowball - Keep one thing in mind. There are alot of carrier company people on this site and alot of owner-operators. Thus you will get very very little support, comfort or understanding from them when it comes to a driver getting screwed over. It will always be your fault, you did not do your...

The truck was not loaded. The only equipment of the carrier on the truck was the QC. No I did not hold back BOL's. As far as a threat to hide or damage the equipment I believe I did not do that - I know I did not threaten to damage the equipment, hiding it would be up to each individual. Not...

A few more points to those of you I seem unable to please or give a big enough kiss on the tail to: highway star - the so-called name calling from me started after THawk questioned my morals,ethics and content of my case. So if you are going to bite me a new one, sharpen your teeth on...

davekc There was no statement in the agreement that specified I had to drive his truck to his location. rollnthunder I would have loved to name the o/o and the dishonest carrier as well. But this site feels it would place them into a possible legal situation and they can not risk that. I...

THawk - The safety manager told me that she did not know the circumstance regarding the incident. Her words were "the end result is all I care about and what I was told is that you refused to bring the truck back. So I do not care what led up to this the point is you refused to bring the truck...

davek - You are a funny child - a don't even drink so thanks for the rude and non-funny comment. I did not leave the truck as you claim! I knew where it was, had the keys to it, even told him where it was. Why is it I am wasting my time defending my actions and mistakes but yet no one seems...

tar - I have accepted blame or whatever you want to call it for my role in this incident. However, are you actually saying, that when a person makes this kind of mistake, and lets put getting shafted out of money, lied to about rates, etc to the side, are you actually sitting there saying I...

Terry - Let me get something through to you and make it very very clear. You said that I had previously sought advice, on another tread, regarding this issue and said then I would hold the truck if need be. I do not disagree with what I said, nor am I hiding the fact I handle this issue...

I am totally frustrated with the refusal of this site to allow drivers to question the ethics and business practices of carriers who advertise on this site. I have posted two statements on this site within the last few hours, this being the third, with the previous two being taken down. I...

I am being told by a few drivers that even though this is expediting we would still get more miles and longer runs. I really do not know what to believe. I am being told by several companies that teams get about 3600 miles per week. If that is true I figure that would be in the area of...

Bruno - I do not know about everywhere else but here in Indiana the person or someone representing the property owner has to sign the tow slip authorizing the towing company to tow the vehicle. I know this through my experience of towing vehicles for the private security company I owned. I...

OK. I have drove solo and enjoy the peace and quite, but I have a friend and both of us are thinking about teaming up with one another. To us it is all about the money. Now, we are leaning on going team with Express-1, or Tri-State. So we want some input from you vet drivers. Can we really...

Still another reason to use rest areas when ever possible. Sure, Pilot, Flying J, etc will generally welcome us straight truckers, but we still get weird looks from other t/t drivers. Rest Areas are quite, generally clean, the only thing missing is the traffic and the showers. So twice a week I...

Can't we just get along?

While this does indeed belong in a different forum, I will say, that I belive God does not know what we will do next. He judges us on those decisions - decisions which should be guided by the laws set by God's words. In 2007, I have set for myself, to allow God into my life, to deal with the...

RE: YOU HAVE TO QUIT EXPEDITING - WHAT WILL YOU DO I am not sure I could retire. I think I would first go after my dream job - in an orange juice factory, but I just dont know if I could concentrate. After that I would try to be a tailor, but I am not really suited for it...mainly because it's...

We can all sit here and discuss the economy and the direction expediting is going to go. The point I want to make is no matter what the economy is doing, no matter if it is going into the tank or taking an upturn, do matter if the expediting field is going to the toilet or some how staying...

I agree with Hawk. We need to look outside our comfort zone and be flexable. However, I firmly believe we as individual drivers need to set our rate range at what we are willing to accept. Sure, we should 'go outside our comfort zone', in some cases, like if we are in a bad frieght lane, when...

Once again. It is a supply and demand situation. If we can 'create' a shortgage of drivers willing to work for dirt cheap rates then we increase the overall demand for higher quality drivers. If we can create a demand for higher quality drivers we can see our cpm rates increase. It really is...
