    Hey,

    New to the forum, I wanted to say hello to everyone and start anew with writing and reading various forums.
    My Dad drove for 45 years until a disk issue in his back said no more...He owned a small trucking company. 10 rigs and drivers to man them. I've been in business development in the trucking industry for 20 years so trucking and truckers have been part of my life.

    My username was painted on my Dad's last rig and a take off the biker's saying.... The name is a tip of the cap to him....

    Welcome aboard, always room for one more. You'll find we're all bozos on this bus, and no topic is off limits( pertaining to trucking) and no question is too stupid, although some DO test our patience. One today has the luxury of this sites varied amount of "experts", literally unheard of in my, or your dads day. I come from your dads time, started in the late 70s, and can't believe what a different world it is today, thanks mostly to what comes through here. Stuff that would make your dad cringe, I'm sure. I wonder how your dad would react to the mega pileups of today? Thanks for the visit.:thumbup:
