[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 139478, member: 4653"] Audi2006, based solely on your post-that's I'll I have to go on-I believe you're an intellegent person. The statement that I quote above proves our "overpaid" driver's point. The fact is we don't do the same job as any other transportation company. Their trucks are empty compared with ours!
