Well, this is fun. Ron, there is nothing wrong about helping other drivers. I commend you for doing so. However, your approach is wrong. If those you help are owners, then give them the benefit of your experience. If they are drivers for fleet owners, you can overstep your bounds and interfere with the owners wishes. Based on what you posted, you did that in regard to FV for one thing. As an owner with drivers, I would take exception to that. The driver should come to me with questions or problems. That said, you violated these drivers trust by posting here. Those of us that do help others don't say anything about it, and we definitely do not post about it.
As far as family is concerned, I'll tell you a story. Most here know I have two daughters. Last July, my youngest got married. It was difficult for me as I realized that my involvement in her life would change. I am no longer the only man in her life that she trusts and respects. She embarked on the next stage of her life, and I had to step away. While I may not agree with everything that she does, it's no longer my place to say anything unless asked. I did the same thing with her sister when she married. I do not wish to lose their trust and respect by meddling.
Why is this relevant here? Because it seems to me that you risk losing the trust and respect of this community because of your actions. Help others, yes absolutely, but don't talk about it and certainly do not post about it. Whoever gave you those numbers now knows you posted about it. Will he trust you again?? Will the fleet owners of the other drivers appreciate you meddling in their business??
You and I have met and had several conversations about the business and other things. We agree on some things and disagree on others. Your way is not the only way anymore than mine is. If you choose to keep that attitude, you may find yourself very lonely one day.
I'm not saying anymore on the subject. I have enough on my mind watching my dog slowly approaching the inevitable to deal with any drama.
Everyone have a nice day.
I am having all kinds of fun today! Finally got my blower relay fixed, went shopping, partook of the free shower provided here (thanks John!), now hanging out inside waiting on my FREE laundry! I like perks! Did get offered a lovely 163 miler or so for Monday afternoon... I respectfully declined.. she said she understood, both trucks in front of me declined also LOL.
PS.. I didn't know to put "Tim" for layover pay... I thought Brian told me I didn't really need to put a name.. I've sent them blank (only 2 or 3).. and hasn't seemed to be a prob so far.. guess I'll start putting "Tim" on them tho, if that's the accepted way.
Think I'm gonna watch a movie while I wait on laundry

Thanks to many Load One drivers who came to the show and helped support our efforts. Great to see such a positive group of people. Nick and Jenny did a GREAT job! Vince and Brian did awesome as well.
Saturday after show party was a lot of fun with our crew and a lot of other expediters. Great to see people like Jeannie, Caffees, Moose, Susie, Rod and so so many others. Thanks for all you guys did and all the hard work.
