I'm just visiting but it is funny how the gentleman in this car cut us off twice, with no blinker. Upon catching up due to the traffic, and he's on his phone. Then before getting off, he not only cut off another couple cars, but a diesel truck. Nevertheless, I know for myself I enjoy living, and maybe your workers should actually pay attention on the road and not be on the phone texting. If you want the picture of the car with the license plate number, I definitely grabbed a picture.

These guys are crooks. Forget about the poor service. If you're not a big contract, they will step on you, or even discourage the business you offer. Great business model W E Carlson!
