			"...  THat's good.  It cost that Jartran
	weasel $0.00 to screw ittvax!dipalma out of his/her truck.  
	Why shouldn't he/she have an equally costly opportunity to 
	screw him right back?"
----------
The tone of this note seems to suggest that Jartran is in the
business of not renting trucks. Maybe that's why they went into
bankruptcy a while back. I very much doubt that they were happy about
not having a truck available. I don't see what you expect them to
do about it, call the police to go out and collect the truck that
they thought was going to be brought back in time to be rented out?

As for your comparison with Ryder, I'm curious why you think that
the fact that they had a truck when you needed one implies they're
better at this than Jartran. Surely the vast majority of the people
who use Jartran also got their truck when they wanted it.

I'm not saying Jartran may not be mismanaged, I have no knowledge
of that or of their scheduling procedures and I have never used
them myself. But I think the best way to get through life is to
assume they're doing their best and that your experience was just
bad luck. One observation is insufficient grounds for complaint.
