    Reasons given by office so far for LAME business practices so far since middle December:
    1) Holidays
    2) Holiday weekend
    3) Time of the year ( Fired him the same day )
    4) Family tragedy
    5) Missed work due to family tragedy.

    Credit given on my settlements due to these reasons:
    1) none

    Because we are in this TOGETHER

    Alaska, flying up there with a co-worker to bring two trucks back. Think one day cab and one truck with a sleeper. No personal gear except for clothes. It isn't my normal truck as I don't have a normal truck. I drive whatever they ask me too which could be anything from a pickup to a semi to a MCI motorcoach. The weather I hope will be better at that time of the year. No matter what we do we always have issues at the border crossings with paperwork. I have never had an issue getting into the US/Alaska, just Canada.
