Attempt to make things right

I used to have truckers come into napa asking to buy locking gas caps... they said they can't trust 90% of their fellow truckers.

Hope that doesn't applyto Neil too.

Not to take things further off topic but with $4 a gal diesel people will do anything for fuel. We have been dealing with this at work with all of the trade trucks that are out of service and waiting to be sold.

The fuel prices are getting really high. I have a friend that owns a truck shop in Sparta, Wisconsin, and he is selling because of all the small companies that are "pulling the pin" for the last time.

Lucky for me, Ashley won't be real affected by it for a while. Being that we are a private carrier, and only haul our own stuff out, we don't have to worry about whether or not the freight will be there for us to haul. If fuel prices keep climbing, they will just raise the price of the furniture here and there so soften the blow.

I appreciate your concerns, but I am not a thief. There are a lot of owner operators who will suck fuel out of your tanks while sleeping because of the prices. I try to stay in "decent" truckstops, and well lit areas. Ashley has nice equipment, and it makes us kind of a "target" per say. It's sad. I feel bad for these owner operators who are only trying to get by with freight paying what it did 20 years ago.

I know that the majority here still doesn't know me, or trust me. Looking at the title of this thread, I will try to make this right. That's what it says. Just bear with me, and things will work out. I know actions speak louder than words, so I guess you should just grab your bowl 'o popcorn, sit back, and wait. That's all I can really say. There's no tellin what the future will bring.....who knows, maybe Jake will find Jesus?
