Re: Tropical Storm/Hurricane Fay

Fortunately we are not even though we live there. We have family there but all are use to it, being longtime Floridians! Ya just hunker down and hang on for the ride!!!

Much of our freight comes out of Miami International Airport so several of the trucks leased to the same carrier as us are there now. We have riden out hurricanes (95 mph winds) in our T/T and straight truck in the past. We just nose her up into the wind, dolly down for stability, and hang on cause it can be a pretty exciting ride!!!

If it gets to Tennessee, it will be there by Thursday. By then it should just be a bunch of rain without the winds.

I don't exactly worship at that 'temple', but I sure do like the 'revs'!
