    We have to do the same thing. We used to avoid Florida, but we have been going down there a little more often. We also have a newer contractor that lives in Florida. Half the time we go to Florida, we end up bouncing to Brunswick. I think we will have 3 trucks down there next week and only one Brunswick load.

    Flatbed22: I glad someone is doing well. I'm getting off this UPS, just to few loads. I've gotta get back out on the open board again with my step.
