Wow, I wish I got that much. I don't even average 25% of that per truck each month.

None taken, I also have 5 trucks of my own that I run too. With both companys there is 15 total trucks. We went from 8 total trucks to 15 over night. The owner has never been in expediting.

No Phil you don't. One of our truck was hit by a drunk driver a few years back and it wasn't a pretty thing to see. The drunk driver sadly lost his life, our drivers tried to help him but he bleed out. It was a night I will never forget and neither will our drivers.
