    Yep!
    I made sure that I asked for him by name and last name and the lady in the front said he was no longer with us.
    Like the old movie title says "gone with the wind".

    I'll put up with a heckuva lot but that'd be the day I head back to Richmond and clear out the truck.

    I'll press 1 that one time to let them know, though. As a courtesy, o' course.

    Oh geesh... so now who is in charge of Equipment???

    It’s a good thing they don’t print out an Employee Directory as to who to call for what areas... they would be printing new copies every other day and still be two days behind.

    Well, it seems the West Memphis Terminal is coming together... they are now Dispatching everything within 150 miles of West Memphis... like Wytheville... (trying to be very supportive of our team in WM)

    Ah, for the halcyon days when AKJ himself was dispatching loads from West Memphis.

    Broker load of egg cartons out of home time from Wenatchee, WA to Wasco, CA. Hadn't been to Wenatchee in many years, nice mountain views. Think I had a load of apples last time I went up there.

    Might have been me. I was up there Thursday and Friday. Delivered in Portland, reloaded in Molalla then headed down 5 to SoCal.
