According to Da Man, I am Black, Afro American, Non-caucasian. :D My business has not prospered or suffered because of my color. I started running freight with 1 customer shipping railroad ties, 1 customer shipping steel (that went bankrupt). I have built that in less than 10 years to a truck line with 14 trucks that I own and half a dozen leased on. I have a brokerage that calls on over 500 customers. In this business, its SERVICE that counts and as an Afro American, if you cant provide on-time service then you fall into that stereotype that Afro Americans cant be on-time. :D :D

My point is your color may matter to some, but your SERVICE will matter to all. I hope this answers your question and I hope that you are sucessful and want all of the soul brothers (including the blue eyed soul brothers) to be successful.
If you think Da Man is holding you back as an O/O then maybe you should pm me, but if your SERVICE isnt on-time, then dont waste my time. Peace, Love and Hair Grease.

There's a stereotype that colored folk can't be on time?

New to me.

I thought it was the "young guys" or "newbies"...

I'm a young guy, I'm late maybe 1 time a year that's my fault.

Of course I cannot make up for someone else's lack of planning.
