    Express Deliveries

    Thanks for the reply guys. Brisco, I went to the thread you recommended and after reading it, the numbers I have been given by this company are not as good as the ones GMC was talking about. There is no way I can see that a person can make it on the numbers I have seen so far. Thanks
