Yeah, It is most likely coming. You will all be supporting me soon. At my age, shoot, finished.

One never knows 
I think they are doing that because UPS has something similar from another manufacturer.

Re: How Will California Budget Woes Affect Expediters?
But Dave, I'm confused, what is the excitement over the Cryoport shipments?
I see it as FedEx offering cheaper rates to the customers and cutting out WG then CC completely, the thing can go on any truck.
Their worry is now the Teamsters, Congress and UPS, they are dumping money (MILLIONS) into the fight and may just lose.

EVERYTHING is going against the small business owner in this country now. Fascism does not LIKE that. It wants all state owned business and industry and unions that they can control. Get used to it. Old guys like me are toast.

Re: How Will California Budget Woes Affect Expediters?
California's fiscal year came to an end last night and no balanced budget is in place for the 2009-2010 fiscal year that begins today. The state will begin paying its creditors with IOUs starting tomorrow if a last-ditch effort to agree on a balanced budget is unsuccessful today.
Why IOUs? Because it is as the governor said on June 2: "Our wallet is empty. Our bank is closed. Our credit is dried up."
Even if a budget is agreed upon in the next few hours and IOUs are averted, bilions of dollars in spending cuts will immediatly follow. This will reduce economic activity and bring the reduced-services possibilities mentioned above closer to reality.
As expediters who sometimes haul freight into, within and out of California, Diane and I continue to watch this story with great interest.

Re: How Will California Budget Woes Affect Expediters?
Many moons ago when California was having a similar revenue problem, I and another driver got stopped by CHIPS for exceeding the speed limit near Barstow. At that time, the CHIPS officers had not been paid for about a month. The officer checked my license, registration, and bills of lading. Since the other driver had passed me going down a hill, he was more interested in the other driver. After about 10 minutes of chatting, he let me go. No warning, no ticket, no nothing. So, I guess it could go either way with CHIPS and law enforcement.

Re: How Will California Budget Woes Affect Expediters?
How Will California Budget Woes Affect Expediters that the is burning question: The answer is :We are in the business of moving freight this is what we do our job is secured .Nothing moves in or out of that state without wheels.Either from the Airport from seaport or from the railhead to the crops in the fields it's freight shippers will pay any price to move it . The only thing that I see is the price we pay at the pump,but that is an easy fix .fill up before or after you leave. I welcome your reply. KEEP THE FREIGHT MOVING.
