    Boyd is doing fine. Still running miles and still home on weekends. Ive read your other posts on the Boyd threads and have summed it up. Boyd is here to stay. Read my post in the Would Anyone Recommend Boyd thread.

    Honestly job hoping will hurt u anywhere. Especially maverick. If you can hold out try to. How long has it been since you drove a tractor?? Thats what Boyd will look at. If it isnt to long ago than they will hire u and put u in a refresher course. Call our recruiting number and talk to Lanese. If she isnt available ask for Betty. They will let you know what the best thing to do is. Keep me posted.

    Can you tell me anything about the Tx. Regional fleet? I recieved a card from Cynthia with Tx. written on it. How old of a tractor does a regional driver get? Usually they get the old ones.
    Will appreciate any update. Thanks and be safe out there.
