Hello Dick. Since I last spoke with uou I’ve decided to quit trucking for now. I’ve been unable to support my family with my lastest job. I’m now washing cars and opening a FiveSCreations office in the city of Dothan, Al. Whenever you stop through give me a call and we will have lunch, My treat….I’m in the process of pursueing to implement my “It’s All About Safety ” program and selling my, “Following to close signs” to truck companies in America and abroad. I will contact Perkins in regards to the signs. Keep up the good work and may God bless you and all the truckers out there on the highways. Look for the FiveSCreations Van with the handle, “BLACKHAWK. Have a CB Radio and will be on channel 19

Wow, was I surprised when I got home and clicked onto your e-mail. I made a trip up to Aston, Pa. and picked up a load back to Orlando, Fl. During the trip I thought about our conversation and how the Lord work in mysterious ways. I ended up spending my birthday on the road where I received a ticket for traveling in Maryland on route US 1 with a 53 foot trailer and I also left my cell phone i a resturant. I refused to let any of what I thought was a dissappointing birthday get to me. I made up my mind that God is always in control and I must follow his will and not let the things of this world get to me. On the way south on highway 81 in Virginia, I saw on of the worst truck accident I’ve seen in quite awhile. Two eighteen wheelers on the north bound side had collided and the road had to be shut down. One of the trucks was upside down off the road and the a reefer with a load of fruit had burnt up in the center lane of traffic. I would love to know what caused such an accident. Well, I made it hoe safely and I’m preparing to return to the road tommorrow. Thanks for taking the time to speak with me and for telling a portion of my story. Let’s pray that this administratlion will recognize fthe situation in the trucking industry and assist us in making this an industry which a person could make a decent living and be paid properly for the work we perform delivering goods throughout America.
