A friendship ended today
By MrBoyd • Apr 22nd, 2008 • Category: Blog, PersonalToday a friendship between me and a nearby pilot car operator ended. It ended unpleasantly because he let things build up to the point of blowing up, rather than talking to me about what upset him. He is a generous man, a good man…but it got downright ugly and ridiculous. After I invited him along on a 1500 mile (plus) run, he wanted to charge me 5% administrative fee for billing Landstar through him.
I will not be doing business with him any more. I won’t mention his name to others when I cannot help them; I will not call him to help me when I need help on runs; I won’t offer my advice when he calls to ask for it; I’m just not answering his phone calls. We’re just done!
I am disappointed that it came to this.

It is really sad that the pilot car business has devolved into that way of taking advantage of others. It just seems to be more than “dog eat dog”, it is more like swimming with sharks…disheartening for a lot of reasons.
