who got 5% back? haven't heard of anybody getting money back!
 
I have not heard of anyone getting their 5% back. In fact I think the plan is to give back in increments over a couple of years..as in raises with our own money!...either way, it is good to see the biz making a profit again. New trucks and trailers, have you noticed our equipment lately? Swing door trailers i believe are going to be for linehaul...For the most part i think the doubles and triples are going to go away.
