An old friend where I used to work always told me...just after I started working there... "you've not been here long enough to have an opinion, shut up 
". So, with that in mind, I'm going to go right ahead and offer an opinion (same as I did with that old fart )
From what I understand of the system John has in place with the layover and empty move pay, it is there for a reason. It's not there just to remove money from John's balance sheet.
If used properly, the situation more than likely corrects itself when John has 20 units all sitting in the yard, collecting layover pay. It may take a few hits, it may take a few ugly conversations between John and dispatch. I believe though that the system was designed with a purpose and, if allowed to work, might.

Stepping into shower. Beat Guido here. Lol
This too, shall pass
No, you're not "full of love for me, brother!", otherwise you wouldn't have done what you did. The above non-apology apology certainly doesn't diminish or dismiss what you did, nor the consequences of your actions. Even if what you said about me and my van were true, it should have never been posted in a public forum. What you did was not because you are full of love for me or anyone, it was out of pure meanness and thoughtlessness. You can't slap a cross on your van and tell me you're "full of love for me, brother!" while at the same time having failed utterly, even after learning of the consequences of your actions, to apologize publicly or privately, and think everything is OK.

A hug in an improper context fits the legal definition of battery, and possibly assault. So probably not.So i gather a group hug is totally out of the question...
Chris not now!

Last year i sat at the expo with John, just me and him enjoying lunch and good conversation, both business and personal. Sometime that during that conversation, He ask me "what about Load 1 don't you think works right?" At that time i was still pretty impressed and couldn't really offer much..but i found a few little things that i can't even remember now...I do know they weren't anything to write home about...as we were talking john had his laptop open and he kept looking at it, making note and both mental and on the screen..our conversation turned to "units sitting" and how he hated it..i knew this from the e-mail i got from him when i had sat 2 days in atlanta on one of my every 1st runs with Load 1..his e-mail was an apology for me sitting for 2 day.....anyhow, that laptop was open to a screen that showed him where every single unit in the fleet was and what its "status" was...not just the expedite fleet, ALL of them, every truck Load 1 has either their own or contracted with..he knew what was going on...
So yea, John knows whats going on and he has no poroblem hearing about "issues"...because he is looking to fix them and make sure that we as contractors are taken care of....post all the "stuff" you think needs attention...its not a problem...
As for the toilet...way to go Kenny!!!
