    He's a "Cousin" to A Friend Of Yours.

    Personally, I would skip the idea and roll SOLO.
    IF he were YOUR Cousin, it might be reasonable to follow through yet he might be a wee bit irritable and what then were he to produce such activity?!

    Thank You Judge.

    You should get a "feel": for his present intentions on the up and back. A lot would depend on how he recounts his prior misfortune to you., not a biggie, I really learned a lesson, offers lot of excuses. Sort the evidence he offers.

    I’m seeing a way out, he’s talking he wants to be home more..
    I’ll show him trucking.
    The load comes first!!
    Even I work 7 days a week, I won’t ask you to do something I wouldn’t.
    I delivered Christmas Eve and made it home Christmas Day about noonish.

    I think i can sloowwww this truck down and say it’s governed at what.., 60?
    is that prime?
    Or 57…?

    Anyway really lay it on thick so I won’t be the bad guy..
    Deception has to be the key…

    I'll be the Richard.

    Glad they gave him a way out of his situation. No way I would sign up to be his probation administrator.

    Who is paying for those randoms?

    He needs to get a random every couple of weeks for the first year? That is a dispatching and administrative nightmare.

    Followed by quarterly randoms for the following 4 years. No way I would sign myself or anybody else up for that level of oversight/overreach.

    Lotta people think that upon hearing a sad, sad tale; and you deep six it, that you did not "listen".
    I can listen fast and decide even quicker. One has nothing to do with the other. Sides, listen too long
    to some fool, and his tale and you will sleep in the streets.

    Use a small trowel while you are laying that on him. Give it time to adhere...

    Yeah, be very difficult for the loads i run for scheduling that. Gotta load and deliver on same day, sometimes you’ll not get unloaded til after midnight but you gotta be checked in before.

    I’m thinking of saying insurance said “No.”
    Then I won’t make everyone mad at me…
    At first I thought well,, a mistake, big one… but mistake… then all these drug tests are like how are they even random the first year at 17.

    And the lady said: You never tell me you love me anymore....
    And he replied: I told you I loved you the day we married, didn't I?
    And the lady replied: Well, yes...
    Then he stated: If there is any change; then, I will let you know.....
