Had the great pleasure of finally meeting the famous "shelled one" at the Bordentown Petro a few minutes ago.
I knocked on the door, and he actually came out even after he found out it was me. :D
Thanks for a nice chat Turtle, we look forward to meeting up with you again down the road.

Start looking for another owner....

first thing out of his mouth was a lie....Ready to roll and it wasn't.....not a good way for a trusting business relationship to start.

If you are as good as you say....you'll not have a problem...

55 you have to be strong, even almost forceful....be positive and take control of your situation...no time to moan and groan and whoa is me....get moving....and good luck.:)

55 it is friday, get on the phone with panther and get a LIST of available truck and owners...take the weekend and call them ALL, weed through them and find one that works for you...keeping busy will lessen that stress and you will feel as if you are accomplishing something..and chances are you will!! You aren't a newbie, you have a proven track record, use it to your advantage..but do not jump on the 1st seat, talk to all available..then make the best decision for YOU!!

You can do this!!

Hey Chef, it's Thursday. Other than that, good post.

55, when it begins with a lie like that, what are the chances that it'll go good? I'd rent a car, put my stuff in it and head home. The idiot owner can get the truck out of the shop himself. Good advice from Chef and the Dakota Van Man.
