    I don't know why he called paperback a dickhead, he is my owner, and I don't think that there are many owners that would leave their house to do this. I am happy that he did this, he also paid for hotels, and $150 day for being broke down. I don't think a lot of other guys would do this. So...

    No, I did not secure the freight, and yes it was my fault, and he does have insurance. My question was, is it reasonable for him to ask me to pay half of the deducible, $500.00? He said some owners would have the drivers pay the whole deductible. He said he would take a little out at a time like...
