    That would be relatively easy for me if it could be loaded on an 80’ stretch. If it requires anything more specialized than that………

    Times must be rough at Landstar for a guy that takes winters off. Look like you had your track pants on, must be too cold for the flip flops or a load today. I was in a hurry, thought about coming up and offering ya a couple bucks for some jeans and a pair of work boots.

    @blairandgretchen is a solid man with a big heart. He saved an animal's life and became attached to that animal. Some made disparaging remarks toward that animal. I suspect that Blair chose to take a break from TTR, and I hope that is the case and everything else is okay. He and Gretchen have dealt with a number of challenges in the past few years.

    I consider Blair a friend, and know without a doubt that he would go way out of his way to help me if I were in a bind. Hopefully all is well with he and Gretchen.

    @blairandgretchen is without a doubt one of the best men to grace these pages. Hopefully he comes back on here. He provided so many with real world numbers and positive help. Bumping this up for the man!
