Thank you, John. We have truly enjoyed being on the team and you are a class act all the way, which is reflected in the enterprise you have built. Second to none, in our book. Please be sure to look us up whenever you are in the Twin Cities!

It's interesting, sometimes, hearing the misconceptions many have about this business.

IMO, there are more options at the 33K level. More carriers, more loads, more money, more comfort. Trade-off is higher entry cost and more DOT involvement.

I''ll stick to geocaching! LOL

There are still required records to keep, including odometer readings and routing, etc. by the "recommended" format. GPS tracking is a good tool, and we used that when we ran our own IFTA, but when we were audited it sure was good to have the required records (including fuel receipts) to...
