    Going Independent

    Yes, bad trucks and barn sour drivers can make it challenging. A fella just needs to understand the prospective drivers "warts" and decide to live with em or not. For a truck to go down that soon......may have been an underlying problem that was not thoroughly explored.

    panther and owners pulling trucks out

    So.....just what would you consider a "nice truck" and what would you consider "killing yourself trying to pay for it"? Does a 379 Pete and thousand mile 4K weeks sound OK?

    You’re going to tow my truck where?

    Well....now you know. Maybe jes go to Wally, unplug the link, turn off the phone, get some sleep till the appointed time. Then, deliver. You'd saved towing fees, loss of sleep and this thread. You'd still get the awww crap letter you are going to get, but...you still could have done the deal...
