    One thing is sticking in my mind about the barn door model IS The fibre doors and some nut shipper, the damage would be very expensive and leave it almost, depending on the whack, undrivable compared to good ole metal and that back step looks to be aluminum depending on the thickness used good...

    For the Wannabe Expediter!!!

    One of the questions I asked was: Hows the mix of customer base? They said 60% auto, 40% GM, 10% Ford and 10% Chrysler. So I declined. The income question is so vague and subjective. It varies with your work habits and some luck ( right place, right time ). MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!
