    That sucks for you. I can name 5 catfish places within ten miles of here. All equally delicious.

    Im 38, My dad and Gramps were hauling for them in about 73 or 74 after Hennis. The old operation VP is originally from my home town and his dad hauled steel with gramps and took my dad under his wing back then. I worked for few different outfits in the Shop. Dad would not put me on. Said you have to make your own way. Ended up at my last W2 job we did inspections for them and worked on company trucks, and swung coils with the wreckers for them. Most will say they didn't have company trucks. Yes as of 2013 they had 4. Just not alot of people knew about them. I also consulted on the side with equipment purchases. I guess I can say that. Had to hide it for years from past employer. Dad said Ma Kaplan in her 90's sat at front door checking your bill and log books and greeting everyone at the Bessemer Ave office. They do own Horizon Frieght too a crap sea can outfit. I wanna say someplace in the 1999, 2000 A name of Ferrelly or something like that bought it from the family but still private owned. If some thing has happend in the last 12 months IDK. Have to call my guy. He is enjoying a log cabin and retirement now.
    But had a long family history with them. I should dig out the warning of termination of lease agreement dad had save. They were hand typed and some written warning of excessive over weight. There was alot of them. I have been cleaning dads shop since he passed away. My first real job was for Bowling Transportation in the shop at 17 and still in high school every night. That was a education you can't buy. Sorry so long.
