    How much experience?

    I started expediting January, 1997 as an employee driving a company owned van or a leased straight truck. In May of 1998 I bought my first van and became an owner/operator. I may be a veteran, but I am not nearly as grizzled as Highway Star. He's as sun baked and weather checked as a 10 year...

    Today I read a Los Angeles Times piece about Paul Harvey. A couple of lines nailed it for me. "Part of Harvey's enduring appeal was his writing style, a kind of down-home flavor yet sophisticated quality. It grabs you and holds on to you". "He was always relevant to the present. Paul Harvey...
