Was that necessary ? Sometimes a couple weeks settlements makes a huge difference.

There aren't a lot of vans here, but the ones that are here have been here for a while. Looks to be the same for straights, but I've OOS for a couple of days. I think my breakfast at the TA Monday morning poisoned me.

Actually, yes it was necessary. This is in fact REAL life. Tink about it Dale, worrying about a couple weeks settlements this time of year......ain't a good thing. Maybe, jes maybe, they should jes go home BEFORE they run out. Or.......suck it up and go for it!!!

I hope they do one or the other, rather than jes whine.

I have no idea what you're talking about, so you and I have that in common. Thanks for trying to be a know it all and not helping at all...........Now I'm just guessing here.....really big belt buckle......right? Next time you "tink" something, keep it to yourself.

I really have no clue why the sudden attack. All I was saying was that because we took a full week off we need to earn two weeks settlements before we start earning a paycheck, I wasn't whining just stating a fact, sharing a thought. I should have known better, just about anything you say on this virtual truck stop will lure a ******* super trucker over to tell you how it oughta by God be......by God.

Actually, no belt buckle at all. I'm sure you don't have a clue..... Nope, kant tink bout someone whom someone who could use some hep, but don't know whom or what to ask without commenting.

There IS lots of experience on this forum, but it is hard to share by typing here.

ftp, sometimes what a person types speaks louder than any response you can ever make to their post.

x06col is like that old man from "pawn stars." He speaks his mind freely; and more times than not it isn't anywhere near being politically correct! He means well at times; he just sounds arrogant and condescending! lol!

My recommendations is to listen and put aside the emotion when he speaks. He and a few others are some of the best sources for info on business that is on this site.

That would be fine if he had made any effort to answer the question. Instead he made incorrect assumptions and criticized me based on them. That ain't wisdom where I come from, that's just another blowhard blowing.

Well maybe you are right but read some of the other stuff, get passed the personal things and like others who are like him, there is a lot of info there.

I think one of the problems can be he, like others don't put the fluff of the successful expediter into the posts which a lot of people can't take.

I know are trying to help and obviously defend an older, more frequent poster, but that's crazy talk. Based on his stupid reply he obviously believed I was failing and in a panic, now you seem to be saying that my post contained "the fluff of the successful ". How bout this, I asked a simple and resonable question and he posted the fluff of a dick. And since I've got less posts than him, or maybe he's your old pal you defend him. Stop trying to make him out the wise older statesman. He may very well be a fount of useful information, but in this case he was just being a jerk.
