My hats off to you Gary, another job well done  My apologies for taking so long, it's a great book.

Utilization of an aircraft depends on a good loadmaster that doesn't waste time on the ground. Pre-planning is very important when moving freight.In reading this book about worldwide travels I know a good loadmaster like \"Tup\" whom I have flown with on many trips has made different companies a good return in a days work. This is a well-written book that should be read by cargo airlines to see the importance of a good loadmaster.\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHolger \"Jorgy\" Jorgenson 40 Years Experience and Multiple Chief Pilot Positions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Tup Tupper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0990345467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780990345466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alaska Dreams Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Gary Tup Tupper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120567120127,"sku":"9780990345466","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5257a715-5b46-4872-8d65-8bdba58cdb16.jpg?v=1687415037","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/truckin-the-skies-gary-tup-tupper-9780990345466","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
