This is why when the money stops, the work stops. Dont work for free.

[jessesward]

Bro you violated the grease gun 😂 never seen it used like that

[justicedunham]

To me, that should be criminal fraud. You knew you didn’t have the money and lied for months. Everyone from that company who lied should be in prison

[southerndualsport]

All businesses deal with this, you simply DO NOT EVER GIVE CREDIT LIKE THAT.

[baddog]

And a week later they re open as a new company.

80 yo lady walked into my store earlier and said her otr trucker husband of 40 years had died in the sleeper . Took two days to find out and the company told the widow it was her problem to find a way to get the body home. Now fighting her for his life insurance. Worked for them 40 years. I am still livid and I don’t even know the people

Had an old boss in the trucking industry. He had a long time relationship(and contract) with a company. They snaked him and got in bed with his competitor. He was doing a demo on the side and found a massive 20ft hornet nest. Instead of going the legal route, he carefully transported and dumped that nest on their warehouse, which closed them for 2 days. Somehow he got away with it too. That industry is no joke.

If a company is worth your trust, they pay on time.

[brucegrimmett]

His practice of allowing a customer to fall that far behind was absolutely stupid.

Same thing happened to a hotshot driver friend of mine. He was hauling tiny homes and storage sheds from one roadside location to another for a flat rate per unit. This went on for weeks "we'll pay you when they're ALL delivered." They stopped answering the phone and never showed to the location. So, he's got 3 tiny homes and a couple sheds for sale. 😂. I got one free. Now he won't take multi-day jobs from new clients without DAILY payment. No pay today, no work tomorrow. It's in his contracts. He was in the middle of a job and they stopped paying. He told them he wouldn't be back tomorrow. "That's fine. Well call you next week." Next week he was in Wyoming and they were pissed he hadn't been at home waiting by the phone for their call. They had stuff they needed to be delivered! Shoulda read the contract. Man's got to make a living...

This happens in lots of businesses. I had my own boring company for 7 years and finally gave it up over this very issue. Not getting paid is the most sickening feeling that i know.

[acohen]

Moral is dont work for free for 6 months then ask for your money. If they can’t pay monthly they can’t pay in 6 months.

[tremors]

It’s not just trucking, it’s everywhere. If people can screw you, they usually will. Get everything in writing and never overextend yourself on an IOU

[Grumpycat]

Never, I repeat NEVER push harder to help any company, even relatives would screw you over money, people have no control or self respect anymore .

[nightrider]

Never ever let a company get into you for that much. No good dead goes unpunished.

[ARVash]

If you take them to court early and you don't have this problem. Frequently they buckle at the first letter from your lawyer. A few hundred bucks isn't much to get a few hundred thousand.

[acgstereoman]

My rule of thumb is simple: nothing comes out of my trailer until I get paid. Has always worked for me.

[ericmartinez]

One of my employees told me he went to a gun range one time to see how much a membership cost. The guy at the register told him he'll give him a one year pass to the shooting lanes for a hundred dollars. Two days later, the range shut down.

Who the F showed you how to grease a 5th wheel

Forgive the debt, then inform the irs. You can then claim the debt in your taxes, and the irs will go after said company for the taxes on 750k.
