    I’m about to roll out so i won’t be able to respond quickly, but how was your time at DSV? Wilson treated me pretty good especially compared to the stories i’ve heard from other starter companies.

    Dsv is the current company im with . They are here in missoula. Treat me good and leave me alone to let me do my own thing which i think is the greatest part ... has its bs just like any company does but overall they are great company and thankful i found them . Planning to get a place and move all my stuff from arizona up here to montana by the end of the year

    You're definitely making good money if you can afford a place in Montana.

    55 years seems like a long time.
    I bet speeding will be on that list before long.

    55 yrs WTF? Soon they’ll start using your permanent record from Grade School. Lol. I bet the wreck was Fed Ex. They almost got me this week. 2 past me, then hit the brakes, when a third pulled off the shoulder right in front of them. The front one was able to change lanes, and barely missed him, The other came to almost a stop in front of Me. It was a close call. Very stupid moves.
