In an effort to support a couple close personal friends I shared info on a carrier and there treatment of there employees, apparently that crossed a line in some peoples minds and that's fine, I am apologizing to those who I offended on this forum but I stand by my belief that there are plenty of carriers out there who treat people with dignity and plenty who to not, I personally work for a respectable and honest company and that in and of its self makes me happy in my choice of carriers, like I said if I offended others ( you know who you are ) than I do apologize, as offending the people who use this forum in the manner suggested by the manufacturer was not my intention!

Hope that was what you wanted from me.

No need to apologize for speaking your mind. Some people go out of their way to feel offended.

It's just an opinion you shared, no reason for anyone to get their panties in a wad.

Opinions are always great as long as they aren't conveyed as the actual facts. Facts are what they are .....facts. Everyone has a opinion on a carrier and it is great you have a positive one where you are currently at. But make no mistake, every carrier has flaws. If not, everyone would be there. After doing this for awhile, there isn't a carrier out there that the seasoned folks couldn't criticize in some form or fashion.
And to be fair, we sometimes have fun doing it. ;)
Call it "cheap entertainment".

Very true,but I still felt I needed to apologize to everyone, my intentions were good, my delivery of said intention needs work, I'm using this forum more now and plan to continue using it, I have gained many friends on here and have learned things that would have taken twice the time to discover, so I do again offer my apologizes to those I angered and to those I didn't I'm sure I will make it to you in due time

I enjoy being treated as a number by my big carrier. They don't know my name, until a random drug test comes up. No special favors either way, just business. I like it that way. I reserve the warm fuzzy feeling for my SO and my cats.

That is what I like about working for the bigger companies. You can turn down loads and take time off without feeling guilty. It's strictly business. What a great philosophy to have!

No need to apologize for speaking your mind.

Well..........I would say No Comment......and Considering that I've been ostracized by so many around here....and have been demanded to "Apologize" for speaking my mind.....I'm just going to stick to NO COMMENT.............:p

Some people go out of their way to feel offended.

Aint that the Truth!!! Can we get an AAAAMMMEENNNN here!!!

Opinions are always great as long as they aren't conveyed as the actual facts..........

Again.............Can we get an AAAMMMEENNNN here!!

..........and possibly a new Rule & Regulation as this added to the boards TOU.

(Free George Zimmerman!!!)


OK........back to topic..............:)

Naw man, if you're sincerely sorry for something you have done that has affected others, there's nothing wrong in letting them know that. It actually takes a stronger person to recognize and admit that.

On the other hand, if you're apologizing because you think others think you should, or you think it will help you save face about some action or words on your part, well, you might as well stick to your guns. It will be obvious.

I stuck up for a close long time friend, he was getting shafted by his superiors ( IMHO of course ) and I did the sticking up thing on here, in retrospect I might have went about it in the wrong fashion, I in no way shape or form have changed my opinion of the carrier or the people involved and I could care less about saving face rather I apologized for my approach and my actions in anger on my thread, thx for the decent comment I to appreciate it

The trouble with second hand knowledge is just that. It will always be doubted and with good reason. If the person that things happen to are that offended then they need to be the one posting not another party sticking up for them.

Normally there is two sides to every story in this case its three.
