I requested a run going over into Texas so I could take some home time, and Daniel B, who keeps up with my every move, just happened to be coming up from Laredo to the Dallas/Fort Worth area on I-35. I was south Bound on 35 going down into Austin so we met up in Waco, TX for a meal and a nice visit. He's a great friend, but that Russian background of his limits his ability to pronounce some of our Texas words in the proper way. Oh well, I still enjoyed visiting with him even if he can only try to sound like a true Texan.

Here we are sharing a meal at the I-Hop on 1-35 in Waco, TX. Pronounced "wayco", unless you learned your first language from your "Babushka" (Russian for Grandmother) then you would pronounce it as "whacko" and wonder why every one looks at you so funny when you say it!

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

... and don't forget "Lah-rah-doe" Tx ... or "Lah -rahm-mee" WY ... those crazy Russians ... at least the Kid doesn't drive with his feet on the dashboard ... don't I know if he has an Adidas sweat suit or not, though (but he DOES NOT drive a Volvo so that's a good thing!)

Daniel looks like he may or may not have cut a couple guys fingers tips off above the top knuckle when they've failed to pay off on gambling debts.
