Dave will be in his element in this position, doing what he does very well. Every time some half-*** elected official puts some idiot bill in front of the house regarding transportation, his job will be to represent the voice of Con-way with other elected officials. Call it anything you want, but the voice is needed for ALL LTL carriers up there, because you wouldn't like the end result otherwise, trust me. Look at this old fart Oberstar, from Minnesota or somewhere, who heads the transportation committee in Washington. He doesn't even have the courtesy to go into the field and see before he criticizes our industry for things he clearly knows nothing about. He has no respect for the abilities of professional drivers, and I would challenge him to go on a ride-along once or twice before he spouts off. That's what Dave will be doing, debating, lobbying and representing against morons like this. A necessary evil, if you will. It's going to make us stronger as well because we need a fresh outlook working along side John in Ann Arbor.
