    He showed up missing equipment, minor things like a front sign, only one flag, but what really made me mad is he didn't have a tape measure. What you you have done?

    He has been removed from the approved escort list, he told me when he left he would get a $200 no go, told him to go for but it would not happen, so I got him off the list as a bonus.

    The people we use are top notch, all retired oversize truckers. They even teach me a thing or two from time to time.

    I do see a lot of idiots out there though. When you pass them on the road, you can usually tell how good they are by looking at their equipment.
