Do you know of any carrier that has a policy allowing guns in a truck? Especially the carriers who have freight in Canada?

That is really cool. Nice job...

Thanks you guys! It was a different type of birthday as we are at home! That has not happened often in the past eleven years.

I do not know many surface trucks who average $1.80 a mile and I do not know of many White Gloves trucks interested in the Flat Rate programs.

Trucking is a culture shock to many second career people including us. As a driver for US Xpress it was a rude awakening to a new world and frankly one we decided we could not handle and tried to get our of trucking. We found in a short time the wanderlust bug had grabbed us and we had to find...
