HAHAHA... Rob is correct. I'd forgotten about how small the print was on the paper desk pad on his desk.

I was sent down there in the 80's to pick up a cheque.

I had to call from the phone booth in a donut shop across the street. He would come downstairs and unlock the door. Boxes and papers everywhere. But I'm sure the place I went was on Spadina. I'm sure he's moved a few times since then. I have no Idea how he gets freight. He doesn't seem to be the type to ever leave the office.

and he did it before the advent of the computer. I worked for him one summer back in 1985 where the phones were ringing off the hook. Anyone wants to reminisce about Sheldon, or talk about getting good loads , you can call me,
646-683-4036.

He's a legend ... and a dinosaur. Much of what he does is just loading renegades ... he doesn't care about the equipment or the safer stats of the carriers etc. Everyone has done business with him under one guise or another. His real name is Sheldon Langner but he's called himself Gerald and Howard recently as well. Hiding from the authorities.

If you're in the GTA and don't mind going down to his office at Bloor/Bathurst, he'll cut you a check on the spot. But he's allergic to stamps. If you have any interns working in your offices, send them for the pick-up, his office is a sight to see for sure.

Ah, Sheldon. That guy has been around for quite a while. There's someone on this forum who has known him a long time. He's legendary lol. I'm not so sure about his ability to pay bills.

Quite the man he was, when I ran a fleet of trucks I would have a driver in the middle of nowhere and that man would find me a load, rate sucked but it got us home. RIP Sheldon, used to love sitting in your office waiting for you to pull my payment out of your paper bag :)
 
I remember him juggling a few phones, no hold button, me freezing my ass in a pay phone on the docks in NJ, but he always came up with something, not big money but did get you home. Collecting was interesting as well, he'd scribble something an a slip of paper and send you down around the corner to BMO give the teller the scrap of paper and she would peel out the cash. He was definitely a legend. RIP Sheeldon
