I hope your new boss will let you put a bulldog on the hood.

Something I just realized (what with all this UNION driver talk)!!

I just made the trip from Beaumont TX to Toronto and back (by way of PA), and I did not see one single ABF truck on the road...and very few YRC trucks! Mostly I saw city runners for YRC and a few USF Glenn Moore units!!

Well this Friday will be my 1st day. They wanted to start me on a Friday so i can get all the paperwork and safety meeting BS out of the way. Monday i will start in the truck and a guy will ride with me for a day or two.

If anyone wants me too i will keep updating this with pictures of some of the things i will haul and all the other BS i go threw. If anyone cares:thumbsup:
