I guess he was hired to be a forman. Year around, salary and a pickup to drive home. First day on the job he tried to fire some body. That went over well and he was informed THAT WAS NOT his job. Recently he got demoted from forman to equipment op... to fired. Fired is the word on the street. I dunno yet if its true.

| im not surprised, i think the only reason he survived at DS so long is ole double D does not fire anyone, ever. i personally think ole BJ braidon got to big for his britchs and it all went to his head. hes a nice enuff guy but as a boss he was horrible. i was on a job with him a few years ago up canyon ferry when he threw a screamin fit becuase HE could not get a skid steer to do what he wanted, and then a few months later, he threw anouther of his hissy fits and flung his hard hat into a mud puddle at the hospital.....yeah they were impressed with "our" foreman. |

| Trying to get out there again. Do you guys know anything about Gmc Buses, the right front Kneeler is stuck in the down position. Had a mechanic look at this evening and he said he thinks it is a relay valve. He is giving the report to the buyer from california, now if he comes It will be off my hands. and I also spoke to my recruiter from landstar about going and getting this truck after looking into how much of an inspection they do. I wanted to know about them fender mirrors on the hood. She said, if you dont have them they will get you set up for them. Just one more thing hmmm |

Blind spot mirrors are required. If your truck doesn't have them Landstar will give them to you. Its up to you to put them on. I was not used to having them and did not think I needed them. But after I had them a while and trained myself to use them I can see the value and like them.

| blind spot mirrors, Oh, I am not against having blind spot mirrors, just that i am already looking at 5 different kW 900l's, and wanted to make sure I have the right equipment. Now if I am going to buy one, I am even thinking of putting that side cam on it that was a nice safety feature. |

I love the W9 but a T6 will get you much better MPGs and you'll still have the KW interior and a decent looking truck over all. With today's fuel prices its all about the MPGs.
