Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceI was a dispatcher at WPS Trucking,at times I would get to talk with Neil and this one time he amused me telling that he had to repair the draw down board at the gate because the truck drivers would try to follow a truck that had just gone through and the second truck would break the board. Neil had one speed and a smile,I enjoyed talking with Neil.
