    How about a shotgun?

    Greg With all do respect, the lawyer would also be used for the civil suit, by the defendant if he lives and by his family if he doesn't. Some of you know me and what I do for a living. Although I am licensed to carry as working permits in several states, not to be confused with personal...

My point is that we are attempting to mitigate liability, costs and become more efficient. You...

    Driver Referances

    As a business man, I am 100% responsible for the success of my new-hires. This includes a number of things: Did I perform a proper and thorough back ground on them to include talking to previous employers?

    Sleeper for Sprinter?

    Reading between the lines here...If he is retiring from Chrysler, chances are he can get a hell of a deal on a Sprinter as an employee purchase, and this might very well be a one time deal for him. The freight slow down appears to be superfluous to his decision, and assumes that he can weather...
