    I spoke with a driver that went. He said it was mostly Scott regarding the cameras.

    I was at meeting. Nothing life altering. Will give more details later but 3 biggest takeaways were

    No new ownership was announced. Im sure @JohnBoy is just waiting till hes done driving to become the owner.

    No statue or memorial was unveiled of @MidWest_MacDaddy. I think they are still looking for a heavy hauler to bring it from the quarry.

    And 3rdly (and most importantly) since abilene is driver/freight heavy and administrative support team light, they need all the help they can get. So think of what the next person has to do and help them along as if that were you.....ie, dont vaugely scribble your truck lights dont work, then go ask for a load, drive truck to dinner and then wonder why truck wasnt magically fixed while your pet trex was still inside and your load didnt get delivered.

    That's funny… I can just see it now the internal cameras pay you an extra five cents a mile if you have sunglasses on.

    If It wasn't announced, he must be a silent partner.

    There's Flying J's up there in Canada, I've fueled at a few. It's the same procedure as in the states, except its in liters.
