How much was the repair? Sounds like the money never came through from the carrier to fix it. Sounds lke a $1000 pain in the butt. Best of luck.

 

That is a very nice thing to say, Outta Here.

 

You told me your email address was [email protected]. No wonder you never reply when I write to you!

 

I think you just hate me.... :cry: :cry: :wink:

Well my husband called the guy in Kaukauna and he was in a meeting so I emailed him a letter because I know how owners can be....very busy. I probably shouldn't have because I was in such desperation that he probably thinks I'm a freak but I never got a return email so maybe they are not hiring.

The repair on the truck was $3000.00. You know that term "rock bottom", I hate it here I know that people lose jobs and they get through it but for some reason there just doesn't seem like a happy ending here. He is out applying today but he has really dealt with alot of the locals already so I guess we need to look further.

I love this message board because we can all relate to eachother and everyone is so supportive. I just need him to sign on to someone because he needs a job like yesterday if we aren't going to lose everything that we have. Just keep us in your thoughts and for those of you that pray send a little one our way.

Thanks again and I'm going to email you when I leave work. I love your min pins, I always wanted one, guess I'm waiting now....lol.

 

Have a few more White Russians and you'll be fine!

 

3k for a radiator? :shock: I have put a new one in mine for less than half of that. That was 3 years ago. Still I truly wish you all the best. God Bless. :wink:

 

For Heaven's sake, sell the truck and have him get on somewhere as a company driver! I listen every day to guys looking for lease purchases or looking for companies with huge sign-on bonuses or immediate advances for fuel or repairs or I hear how their miles have dropped for one week and now their in danger of losing the truck.

I don't get it.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand the inclination to become an O/O today WITHOUT a rock solid business plan and 5 digits in the bank for maintenance, repairs, and downtime. It makes absolutely no sense at all. The owner operators on this board that are successful, are that way, not because they're running insane miles and have nothing but good luck; they are successful because they built a plan and stuck to it and have good reserves to fall back on in the event of something happening.

As far as losing the house goes, why would you even consider holding onto the truck at the risk of losing your house? :shock: :shock: It's like having a cinder block around your neck in the middle of a lake. Are you actually going to hold on to that cinder block and drown? Or are you going to cut it lose and swim to shore? Seems like a simple solution, to me.

 

The only thing I've learned is to not listen to you and a few other people. I have PLENTY of money in the bank and most of all, I'm much smarter than you so preach to someone else. It really bugs you people that I'm doing it. Hell, if you can do it, I sure as heck can!
