    Old expedite pics?

    That "C' Unit was not mine. When I started in a B in 1989 there were a lot of them. Roberts down graded them to B's and caused most of them to vanish. They were pretty unstable. Roberts required 5000# payload for a "C".

    Health problem caused by truck driving.

    My dad drove for 25 years. He told me how most truckers get enlarged prostate. He never suffered from this. Not so lucky for me after 25 years I had to go on Flomax and numerous procedures. Finally I found out about Laser surgery. Now I'm back to normal.

    Retired, but still dream about my Expediting Career

    Even after being retired for 6 years I still dream about those days at least once a week. My Career spanned 25 years from 1988 to 2013. Most of the miles as a team in a "C". I started out with a B and ended up in a B. Thought I would put up a collage of my various rigs.
