    If you want a little idea where you stand. I came over with the Arnold acquisition back in 2010. My number is 487762, My last students number was 560859. 560859-487762=73097. They have gone through 73097 people since Ive joined in 2010. They have started taking people to train that didn't attend any school. That means they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to keep their numbers up. If the economy improves they are going to have some severe issues. Not to mention the fact that I never go to any customers that are happy to see us.

    That's the OTR side. It's unfortunate that it's like that but the money and the happiness lies in dedicated accounts.
