    Well, gang, for those of you who have been following along on other threads, you know that our company recently got its own authority. Along with that we also got a huge new account. We were recently tapped by the owner to help him get the show on the road. So, after 9 years in a truck, we're going to be flying desks.

    I haven't seen any threads on here about standing up a small fleet and I was wondering if you guys would be interested in the trials and tribulations or if I should just sit in the corner and eat my hair all by my lonesome?

    We leave today for Louisville.

    Sounds very interesting to me. I haven't been following the other threads though. Maybe, if you have the time, a brief synopsis would help us to understand the events leading up to the founding of the new fleet. Thanks and good luck.

    Welp we got down here in the ice storm. 7 hour trip turned into 10.5. Ugh.

    Heading off to meet my drivers and owner this morning and let's see if we can get the shoe on the road!

    I'm betting she's busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

    Maybe we should go easy on her?! Lol
