I hope today is the day..that it finally kicks loose and we can kick butt again.

Good news is...it's 20 degrees above.

Bad news is...there's snow on the ground again.

I agree with Juju (like any smart man would). Last week was improved again over week before. So while not where I want it, we are trending for 3 weeks in a positive direction.

At espar..blower motor is bad. Bad thing is that the warranty is good for 2 years or 2,000 hours. I have 5,095 hours on mine.oh crap. But i need to get it done, as i burnt over 120.00 of gas over the weekend idling the van to stay warm. But why now when it is so slow? Never good timing. Otherwise, a beautiful sunny morning out.

Doing well. He had a lot of start up/set up work to do. Right now he is focused on hiring additional territory reps and building everything we need to support a number of additional reps. But he is very focused and I don't think I could have hired a better VP of Sales.

I am VERY confident that this will be a good year for the fleet and the company. We are not going to grow and enrich the company by changing our pay plan. We will do it by investing in sales, operations and our fleet.

Do you know what I like best about you John?...you walk softly and carry a big (stir the pot) stick. I mean like a motivational stick..stir the sales and stir the dispatch office up...the boys out here need you!:)

Well I believe in what we are doing. I believe their is a better way to run a company and to succeed. Not saying other companies ways to succeed and make money are wrong, but they just are not the Load One way. I believe that in the world, fleet capacity is flat or maybe shrinking. Ultimately it will be the company that can sell service and coverage that will beat the companies that sell on price. Now, in the van world I am less sure of this, due to the very disorientated view of supply and demand that the multi-van model has created. But, I also see signs that, that the model may end up being less predominant as insurance and other things bring pressure upon it.

Gosh..I know you see things in the bigger picture..and I know Ken does too...

From my point of view all I can do is watch to see when he runs so I know which bills to pay..much smaller scale than yours...*lol*

I know i have the faith in john and load one like i have never had before in a company. Before coming here it was a challenge on just surviving. But here and now, i actually have goals set in place for the near future. I am just so proud to be a part of something so great, something i believe strongly in. Anything i can do to help, just say the word.

Seriously tho....this has been a tough period for us...and I am sure.... wait..I am positive we are on the right course to build Load 1 to a bigger and better carrier....to borrow a phrase..."be the best we can be".....when we get thru this quarter will be even stronger and unstoppable force to reckon with...
