    They're in the 50's and 60's. And can't even use a simple email program.

    Most don't even own a cell phone fancier then a basic dial pad.

    There a good company, I am lease on with them, the only bad thing is with a refer you must work for on agent, you can not work on Central dispatch with a refer, I would be very careful with a agent you don't know anything about, not saying all agent are bad, but yes we have some very very bad one here, if you should decide to come here, please what ever you do don't touch the ATL agent, there nasty very nasty, look at the agents out of NY are pa are tx and cali, I have been here over two years and going well with them, refer is not a hot market for us, it's going to be all broker loads, some abena have customer loads ,b but not a lot, power only is very very big here, that is we're the bulk of my money comes from, a good week in 6 days I can Gross 14k, a bad week 5500 gross, work are not that is a bad week, and I can back it up

    I got my CDL in 1991. I manage to use my smart phone. I am handy at using excel. Certified at one point in low voltage. Have programmed PLC’s throughout my career.... heck I even built and programmed a mega squirt ECM for my off road, fuel injected, turbo, car I built from scratch.

    But for some reason I can’t back up my I phone to the cloud or download music.

    Lol

    Our first computer was an AtARI game station then a Texas Instruments 99. No cd rom or even floppy disk...... it used a cassette tape. Monitor was a TV.

    I didn’t think I was that old but the way you guys are taking I guess I am?

    The same way they turn it on.

    Windows is capable of shutting down now in the normal routine with the power button.

    It's no longer crash and burn.
