On the subject of bad drivers, they don't get any worse - poor owner [literally - that truck is half his assets!] is left trying to collect from the DEA. Pretty soon, he'll probably be another 'lazy bum expecting handouts from those who work for a living', sigh.

This one's for Blizzard, under the heading 'it could always be worse' Texan demands DEA pay for damage from drug sting - Houston Chronicle

OTOH, if you ARE a lawyer, I sincerely hope the alleged perp hires you to represent him. Do you use that sigline on your business card, too? Just wondering.

Why the passive aggressive hostility? I mean really - if someone doesn't answer your request within minuets it might be because they're busy elsewhere, not because they don't intend to. And who's 'we'? Is it the royal 'we', or do you represent others?

The OP is a well respected member here - I wouldn't suggest he'd give anyone bogus info of any kind. The driver in question is a different sort of person, the sort who plans for being sought after, and not with pleasant results. Those sort of people don't make it easy to be found, is what I'm...

Lugnut: people who expect others to come looking for them with pitchforks [and rightfully so] don't keep the same phone number for long, they most likely use prepaid throwaway cell phones for just that reason. I'm against tracking devices for several reasons, mostly philosophical , and resent...

The worst part is that it's the 'little guy' that gets slammed - jerks like that driver know that the bigger carriers have the resources to thoroughly check backgrounds & references, and to pursue those who don't live up to their commitments. But even the littlest guys can network and exchange...

Perhaps it would help if you could say why you were fooled by this guy - did he present a good work history, a convincing story, or what? I hope you'll keep us posted on the progress and outcome, it might be a good lesson for some who think that abandoning the van/truck/freight is no big deal...

Blizzard: hats off to you [and Lawrence & John Elliot] and every one who founded a company, and made it work - it's more than most of us have done. Risk is the American Way - or used to be, anyway. [Funny how investors forget that, too!]

Thanks - but I'm thinkin if you need to plagiarize [or borrow] a suicide note, you're probably not really ready to go, lol. ;)

You're presuming some things are fact that may be entirely in your head. "Realized he wasn't a very good business person"? "Knowing he was going to keep their [drivers] money"? You know no such things, and accusing the man of it on a public forum is not the brightest thing you could do. Because...

STOP WRITING!!!! Remember 'even a broken clock is right twice a day' and 'even a blind squirrel finds a nut now & then'? See, you haven't lost your mind, [good thing, as I agreed with him too - in fact, I said much the same first, right?] The OP is right to be angry, but wrong in assuming that...

A tour bus driver is qualified to own an expediting business the same way anyone [including you] is: he decided to do it. Odds are he had the best intentions, but it just went south - it happens. If he has good character, he will try to pay everyone, if not, then you learn from your mistake...

What exactly is this post meant to accomplish? Do you suppose there's just one fleet owner in the Chicago area, or should newbies & wannabees regard all of them with suspicion? I'd give you the benefit of the doubt, [assuming you meant to be helpful], but every last one of your 10 posts is a...

Dave: if you donate a truck, please retain approval rights over the colors for the paint - the screaming blue & yellow was the stuff of nightmares, lol. ;)
