With Sally Fields..Syble had if I remember something like 20 different personalities..So you never knew who you would get from that woman..This guy sound the same way...He is like herpes ..It just won't go away..Here we have some guys that made this web site..and let us have a forum..for free..to voice our transportation problems,our experiences,and thoughts to try to make our lives a little easier...we don't always agree or except what others write on here..but that's life..until you get this jerk..the web guys have so far that I know have shut down at least 2 of his sites..and now he has over 2 new ones...he has been asked to leave and told to leave...the web site owners have been very patient so far..but eventually hey will have enough of this and just shut this site down...That would be a shame..but could you blame them? Now this jerk at first said he was from truckstop.com...maybe we should contact these people and see if he is really associated to that company..or just leaching off them also...It is time for the gloves to be taken off..and I do believe that besides myself that those that have been hoodwinked into his little game are tired of it...but tat herpes just won't go away... People that go on computers think they are totally unseen and nobody will find out who they are..but like anything...computers leave a little trail...George,Stacie, dogwood,,TJ or what ever you are going by today..why don't you go bug some others website..like Swifts , or Werner..but here..play like a leaf and blow off..", "parentReplyId": null, "thumbUrl": "", "avatarThumbUrl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.bulkloads.com/user_files/profile/thumbs/default.png", "signUpDate": "2010-11-12", "dateAdded": "2012-01-11T21:38:21Z", "likes": 0, "dislikes": 0, "approved": 1, "userId": 3078, "firstName": "JEFF", "lastName": "PEARSON", "companyName": "C & R TRUCKING INC", "email": "[email protected]", "city": "PAYSON", "state": "UT", "userCommentCount": 927, "userLikes": 225, "userDislikes": 94, "links": [], "files": [], "iLike": 0, "iDislike": 0 }, { "replyId": 28985, "content": "Spoken as someone who has intimate knowledge of the other pseudonyms... otherwise, he has ESP and can predict what others are thinking. \n \n While that may be the \"'#1 rule'\" for poker, blackjack or internet discussion, this is a business forum where last time I checked the Constitution and the forum board rules, we were (collectively) allowed to voice opinions, be upset, share information and ideas, so long as it is not offensive and derogatory.
