    Laredo

    It's real simple. The cross dock transfer places will shut down. Laredo will go to a small border town that pregnant Mexican females can use to have their baby thus making a new US citizen on ADC and whatever else they can find.

    Poor recruiter interest

    Unforunately your experience is not new. I don't know if it's a question of the recruiters having too many irons in the fire or just flat out lazy. The days of Bill McCloud,Lou Fry,Jeff Gara etc are gone. These guys and others had territories that they would cover, not sit in a building waiting...
