Absolutely to much here for me to consider,but this week, I've run into some real professionals,and they were suppose to be W/G also.I've seen drivers with flip flips,blown out knees in their jeans,to badana's on their heads.Made me ashamed I was even there. The business we are in,and prices...

Kevin,do an extra 5 miles for...
