Exactly if you don't need to shower credits why would anyone fuel up there

Yeah, I'm pretty much a price watcher now. As long as I have the funds available, the J is just a place to do my business and get free ice if just passing through. How many shower credits at that price does one person need. Heck I even filled up for $1.99 a few miles before dropping off and settling in at my current J which was 41 cents more

Well finally found someone to take the20 boxes off my hands or it was wait till Monday and deal with Boston traffic... Between security coordinator , event coordinator , convention manager... And Major League Baseball event manager and the list goes on
And pocketed almost a $100 bill for my trouble.... But all in all just another day in the life of an expeditor!

Don't forget to mail Murray his cut of that hundred dollar bill. Is that, what, twenty percent? lol

Unless we can get something like $100 for an hour's labor. And if that required something like 6 calls, 9 emails and reworking a contract. In that case, yes. A slice of $100 per hour helps pay for the work we put into the assessorial item. But many times, not.

Or if standard detention pays a van $20-$25 an hour, and if we can negotiate a higher rate.
Same principle. Work for the driver as hard as the driver works for you.

Picked up a tub of ice cream, chocolate with fudge and chunks of pure chocolate. Before I knew it I'd eaten half...suddenly I realized I didn't have an address, and had to go back to the shipper to get it...i heard the conversation over the phone as the angry customer started swearing about how long it had already taken, then started talking about how bad the owner was at running her business and canceled the order..then I woke up

Hope I get a run soon, I'm losin it

Not horrible 23 & 33% DV respectively with less calories and fat. Compared to a big mac at 40% sodium or anything behind the J's Magic window

The ready meals I picked up may have been a promotional sale. But at about $2 I grabbed a few to try out. Pretty good and filling. Also, first time I ever used the J microwave. Pretty nice that you make it right in the bag, don't even have to open it. 1 min and dinner time. Sure beats cold chef Boyardee out of a can. Yeah, I eat it cold lol.
