    I’m pretty sure @blairandgretchen felt like he was herding cats through most of it. Lolol

    I’m pretty quiet until I know someone fairly well, then if they ask I’m going to tell, I don’t do well at short stories.

    I agree 100%. I told my wife if I die away from home, like in a hospital or accident etc, not to even claim my body. Tell them to keep it (me). She ain't buying it. Yet.

    Nice interview Blair. Smart guy and a lot of great information that’s often overlooked on how to win at trucking.

    Last 5 minutes is golden. Dispatch will call and say "so-n-so" has a load for $1650, I told him I'd have you give him a call. For some reason, everyone acts surprised when the rate-con comes in for $2700. Of course all of this goes out the window if 11 out of 12 loads were happily covered with no negotiations from the drivers that took them.
