    Cholesterol + Blood Pressure + Weight

    A1C plays in too.

    Smoking and alcohol are also factors.

    The two bigs are Cholesterol and BP.

    I will second the tanker idea. Best move I’ve made in trucking.

    Switching to tanker was the best move I made in trucking other than the years I was trucking with my dog.

    Hogan seems to be into every aspect of Trucking. Big presence in Ohio. No experience with them, except through their Brokerage. I’m impressed with the amount of different accounts they have.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Millis has a terminal in the Middletown area. I believe Roehl does as well.
