    IF, I were of the attitude that I had already made my $2.98 for the month, and the load was taking me to my doorstep and my fat rat recliner chair (that is important to many), then........maybe.

    Well yes, when making a sales call, if the first or second thing outa yer mouth is "the only thing that goes on that truck is your shipment", then that is the way it is. Seems foolish to me tho, having a 24 foot truck going down the road with 2 skids and 2000 pounds. And, if they want to pay...

    Maybe. It could be that they are having trouble getting their "exclusive use" prima donnas that won't bump more than one dock for pickup to haul their freight. Dunno? I wuz tinkin more on the lines that they want to keep their folks busier. Dunno?

    Please Help!!

    Where should I locate my company?
