Well I would have already had my ring if my boyfriend hadn't got into a financial bind, and I understand that. He was driving a Peterbilt and the guy he had been working for quit paying him. But when John asked about where his money was he would always tell him "oh it's in the mail...it's on it's way...etc." so John would pick up another load and take it. Turns out he ran the company $90,000 in debt in 4 months! So the company had to shut down. During the time that John wasn't getting paid, he was having to run off his own money to pay for fuel and other things. When he finally figured out the guy was screwing him and parked the truck and told him he wasn't moving until he got some money, it was pretty much too late. He had $13,000 in his checking account when he started working for the guy and after 4 months he was left with pretty much nothing.
The man that owns the company is trying to figure out a way to pay John back for the money that is owed to him. So John has his own authority and Danny (the guy who owned the company) is going to cut him a deal on a 2001 Peterbilt and a 2002 Freightliner he has. All John has to do is find 3 drivers to put in the trucks (including his) and Danny is getting him three cattle trailers. Once he gets some money coming in he thinks he wants to buy a dump truck ($50 an hour, I said 'hell yeah!') lol
I was told at New Years that he wanted to get me a ring, and of course I got all excited. He asked my mom and dad for their permission and everything, which I thought was really sweet seeing as how nobody does that anymore and I really didn't expect him to! lol But then in February everything went to the sh!tter...
So I understand that he doesn't exactly have the expendable money right now to buy me one. But atleast I know that I WILL get one!
And atleast that asshole (or should I say asshat? lol) that ran the company in the ground and wouldn't pay John is in prison now
Sorry... I know that was
