Porsche, I already answered you on this one, did you miss it??

Yes Steve.... I did miss it. So I reposted because I spoke to him again, and again he insisted that he can do this. I wanted some proof that I could forward to him. So I'll forward this info to him before he gets into trouble.

If you want more info go back to that message and ask for more info instead of droping it in random places.

Oh Porsche, you are not helping your credibility here. This has been discussed ad nausium here. Go search for "independent contractor" You do know how to search the forum right?

Posts: 532 posted May 06, 2005 10:17 AM Nah, there won't be a blaze here. I have now done my homework. Porsche' has THREE cars registered with PUC - she has been around far less than the 20 years claimed and obviously is not on the level as most of us here. I asked you to fax over a copy of your student contract and gave you my fax number but you never sent it! Why? Because it is all b.s. - People know that you can buy a copy of my policy manual for $50 and modify it to your own operation. Many here have bought it. You send me yours Porsche' right now, today and I will send you mine FREE of charge.

My address is 317 Ming Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93307. Call me and I'll give you my FED-EX number so I can get the policy package right away. I will reciprocate and FED-EX mine to you.

I will mail it to your P.O. Box 8451 or maybe you prefer the Valley Florist address.

As you know, TCP #'s are issued in sequence. The 15000 series were issued in 2002. You have a 14000 series and hmmmm why do you think you named your company Prestige 2000? Because the company started in 2000!

You cannot have possibly had all these experience, situations etc. in the short time you have been around so please, for the love of God - stop blowing smoke.

You are a very nice lady on the phone. Just be yourself - like you were on the phone. Drop the charade. Stop trying to be someone that you're not (yet) and learn from some of the best here. I know it probably makes you feel good to have all the answers and be better at everything than everyone......but it makes the rest of us want to puke.

Let's start over my friend and we'll help you grow that three car operation to a twenty car operation in no time!

I am sorry that I have not been around much to jump into this. Our son got married last Saturday and my lovely wife had me so loaded with honey do's that I haven't been able to post. I can see once again that the model company from Santa Clarita, California is doing better than the rest of us spread out across the nation. Once again, she is better at something than those who have been doing it so much longer are. Once again she has better policies, she is gaining more corporate accounts and may soon take over teaching seminars for both me and Tommy! As she should! She has obviously perfected her business in a much shorter period than the rest of us. Now, personally - what kind of business sense does it make for a medical company to pay a limousine company two weeks in advance on the chance they may or may not need service. Does that make sense to anyone? Yeah.....right! I think I am going to start sending checks to my favorite restaurant that I usually eat at once a week. If I don't go eat one week, they can just keep the money.....cause I have more. Doesn't this sound like good cash management? But yet a corporate entity is going to feed a limousine company this way? I serve five funeral homes in my city. A funeral can last two to six hours depending on the service, reception etc. There simply is no way to know in advance to collect a check. I do medical transportation for numerous insurance companies, specifically workers comp cases. Unless they have a crystal ball, there is no way to know that an employee is going to be severely burned today at 2:17pm and will require a trip in the morning to the Grossman Burn Center in Van Nuys, CA. I need to bill them. They take six weeks to pay. One company alone generates about $3000 a week or $156,000 a year. They don't use corporate credit cards! The want billing. I get a check EVERY SINGLE MONDAY for about $3,000. Do I care that they take six weeks? Honestly, you answer the question.

I virtually pioneered the organ harvesting team transportation. There is no way to predict when a donor will be presented. When it happens, we get a heart team, a liver team, a lung team, a cornea & lymph node team, a kidney team etc. They give short notice and fly in, harvest the organ and fly out. We do the billing the following day. If you are in the "network", you agree to bill each of the teams. I do work in Bakersfield, Fresno, Riverside, Loma Linda, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and that's way too much work to give up because I won't bill!

YOU CANNOT BE TRULY SUCCESSFUL IN THE CORPORATE WORLD WITHOUT BILLING! Quit blowing smoke! It's getting OLD!

People in this great nation are laughing thier asses off at your ignorance of how this business truly runs. You are just a little too perfect Porsche in your postings. Come back down to our level please where people make mistakes, plans fail, accidents happen etc..
