Re: BOYD on for April 16& 17

Yup.  Rather than going by number of their employees, budget, whatever, we 
are offering our service based on the only data of importance _to us_ - how 
much of our service they plan to take up.  How much volunteer labour, how 
much room in our truck.

We also allow ourselves room to make exceptions - based on what they want 
to bring us.  We'd gladly take a lot more stuff from GLP for example.  Most 
of that stuff will sell!

We need to save room for all the really little places that only have a 
half-ton truckload or less.  If the school board wants to bring us a 
half-ton load, we'll take it.  They still will have so much else they will 
have to find another solution, but we won't be filling up our truck with 
their stuff and leave no room for the little guys.

Last time we used this same criteria - and we nearly filled two transports! 
I don't think we can increase it.
