    What board I'm not at liberty to say at the moment but it's the Board of a Cargo Ship Line that's coming. We will have a few of our own trucks the rest of the cargo will go to outside trks. To answer your question ( What Board ).

    So what you are saying is there is a port that you frequent that is not going to allow glider trucks?

    It would be nice to know if one of the ports is going to prohibit gliders, you are asking for info but you don't seem to be willing to share what info you know.

    Sounds like the company was gonna spec some gliders for new equipment but changed their minds.

    The best thing that came out of this mysterious boards decision, is that there will be one less company that can haul in compition with us. I have noticed that the more drivers with gliders the more sucsessfull they are and the less overhead they have. I'll consider this a blessing. And mean while will pray he doesn't have all the problems almost every other new truck owner is having.
