Many Documents have been traded back and forth with SMI
over the last two years. Scanning those documents into the
record and posting them here for everyone to view has been a
dificult and expencive task.
As older documents are scanned in, and as new documents
are recieved, they will be added in some sort of reasonable
order.

• The Big
Lie
"a.k.a. The "HUMP" letter.
Pam and Calvin claim that ALL SMI trailers have
air bags- they don't -, and that additional driver
training is needed - it isn't - ; AND, that there
was a "Hump" at one of the Receiving Bays -
there wasn't.
