    Any info on A. Blair Enterprises

    Well armin, you are not their employee, you are the o/o's employee. Actually you are a contractor to the o/o and not an employee. Your phone call should have been to the o/o and not Blair. Blair pays the o/o who pays you. this applies to ANY company in this situation. Call the o/o to check this...

    July Locations 2011 ;) Dollas!!!

    Never encountered a moose but heard moose stories. NEVER blow your horn at a moose. He will take it as a male challenge and stand his ground. Wipe out a van? Semis lose to a moose. That is 3,000 lbs of instant roadblock.

    Who takes the least out of your check??

    Suggest you make some calls or go to expo. Most companies want 30$ a week for qc. Say 25$ea for occ/acc and then the inevitable slush fund for repairs. Brokers don't have any of those charges.

    Is The Future Ethanol?

    yep. i made biodiesel before expediting. mileage went done from 25 to 21 mpg on the 1983 300td. bio-d has less btu per gallon than pump diesel so the mileage goes down. same i guess for corn gas. the subsidies need to be there to offset the lowered mileage. the .20 cpg just about covers the...
