    Gotcha...hard to believe with all the drivers here that help one another out that he couldn't find someone to give him a little light tug to get him out.

    Well if you follow my path you’re only 5 od loads away from pulling a 16’ wide 100’ long $3+million dollar wing. Some say I was “fast tracked”, I like to think of it as “sink or swim”!

    He’s still here, still running the on road breakdowns and servicing. I was shocked when I found out he’s been here for 30 some years. I didn’t think he was that old. Now since covid he’s one of a few people that still work from home. Which is disappointing, I always enjoyed dropping by his office and bothering him!
