The sad thing is most of the owner operators we got completely buy into this line of thinking "works for the company, must work for me" then they wonder why after 4 years their truck is having so many problems and has become so unreliable that it's time to head back to the dealer for another new one. These aren't new O/O either, been at it 20+years most of them. They don't got shi#t to show for it and many are in debt to the company, which is really sad cause they were making big bucks on percentage for most of their career.

"Any fool can make money but not everyone can hold onto it"

I equate that kind of thinking to someone trying to get from A to B as fast as they can, -- pushing their truck as hard as it will go along the muddy road. They are trying with all their might to get somewhere, spinning tires and not getting very far, frustrated as all hell, driving all day in that mud, it holding them back and slowing them down. ---- All while getting mad and ignoring everyone around them trying to help them. They simply refuse to look around and see that the road they are driving on is in fact the ditch along side the freeway.
