"Over the half the Con Way trucks didnt go to Panther so the numbers add up."
Bruno, if you live there and you saw it, then I believe you! Must have been quite a sight, 200 vans and trucks rolling down your street. A Con-Way convoy.
I didn't have any facts or figures to back up my disbelief. I just thought that if the owners of less than 400 trucks were offered $1000 to commit to Panther that the refusal rate would have been less than over half. Way less! After all, like you said: "money talks."
My line about getting into bed with a 2 headed cat was meant to go along with your theme of sleeping on the floor for a couple of nights for extra money. In no way was it to be interpreted as a long term commitment or an endorsement of beastiality.
For me personally, I was notified of the sale and the $1000 offer that Saturday morning. I verbally accepted and I think also by QC. I told Con-Way I wanted a paper check rather than have the grand loaded to Comdata. The very next day I was in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area giving my canoe a much deserved paddling.
I was gone for 8 days. When I returned I found a check for $1000. Which I promptly cashed. So I got a paid vacation. I didn't haul my first Panther load until August 1, 2006. I could have quit before that first load and still had the grand. No lifetime commitment.
Speaking of lifetimes. Are you a reincarnation of someone who posted here a few years back? Your style and subject matter seem very familiar. I just can't place the original name.
