    Experiance Requirements for D-Unit

    I thought WG is something that you have to prequalify for by having to work for FEXCC for I think 6 or 8 months before you can even be asked to join. I would think that the process would be the same for drivers and owner/operators. Correct me if I am wrong, please.

You all may not agree with me, but I pay my lawyer to keep me out of trouble and I ask a lot of questions to make sure I do stay on the right side of the law. With that said I...
