    G'head, rub it in.

    Forget the weigh stations, I am flagging down the next trooper I see.

    I picked up this load Friday night and was parked at the Pilot Dealer on the north side of the interstate... Then weighed it and went back to Gatorade to dump off a pallet and then to the eastern FJ to weigh it and wash the truck.

    No, it was still Smithfield's fleet back then. Then it was combined with Gwaltney and then England took over. I left way before the last bit. I know of one driver that works here that was a driver at Smithfield. His name is Ron Gordon. I believe another guy was here for a while, but had health issues so he left. Talk about loyalty?! Those guys were with Smfd for a long time. I think the least seniority guy was there for 15 years. There were 2 guys that had been with them all their lives and they were in their 70s!
