    Welcome back, Amigo! THANK YOU, Ray and Kris! This scenario makes me a damn proud American knowing there are still small family-based companies out there like Leslie Transport. If we don't have faith and share guidance with future generations, then we become part to blame for failure of our country. Obviously he's a Wildman, and not without flaws, but he seems like a risk well worth taking. Dakota- it's now up to you. Life is short, enjoy the ride, but enjoy it responsibly.
    LESLIE TRANSPORT will never be the biggest, but I would say they most certainly they are the best!

Congratulations man you made it back! But again, shout out to your boss for being such a G and bringing you back aboard, people like that are extremely hard to find in the workforce.
