Heck, I just fired a "salvo" to get things stirred up a bit. Too **** quiet in here!

Nahh, BigCat, nothin' to do with sleeves. I despise ALL unions. I even stooped low enough to join the Teamsters once when I worked for a lumber yard! Michigan wasn't, and isn't, a right-to-work state...yet.

Ahhhh....the acting of venting is such a powerful anti-irritant salve!

I'm happy for you your experience(s) have been so different than mine. As I told someone else a few minutes ago: If you are pleased dealing with that type of environment, don't change a thing! It must be working for you. As far as looking inward is concerned, yes, I'd have to say I have...

You missed the whole point. I fed THEM by buying about 35 Ford vehicles of all sorts during that 40+ years Ford and the other U.S. companies were trying to overcome their ineptitude (lousiness) while trying to recapture market share. I did my best to be a "patriotic" consumer by staying...

Good for you...but maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with the difference in our expectations of how a human being is supposed to be treated. I was relieved to reach a point in my expediting career where I didn't need to undergo the indignities of dealing with union slugs. By...

My fleet will all be indoors, under lock and key, during that period. No sense taking any chances...

Just be thankful, "Chancemaster", that you're lucky enough to be in the truck you presently drive to have little, if any, contact with the 'Big 3'. With other carriers you might have had the dubious distinction of frequently meeting the most rude, insolent, arrogant and disorganized shipping...

I will probably find EO University interesting, but will any of the refreshments include Double-Stuffed Oreo cookies?? Please respond by Wednesday morning as I have a long drive to get there on time...

Leo, you were the first person to talk to me at the very first driver orientation I attended back in October of 2006. The Sterling was brand new and you were prepping it for the road at the HQ of The Twin Dark Kitties. I agree with everyone that this is an important time to be close to your...

Yes, Dynamite, I thought we were pretty much in agreement; that's why I phrased it like I did. I was simply trying to emphasize how important I feel it is to have something to fall back on, regardless of what situation may cause a financial squeeze once an individual or team is out on the...

Normally, Dynamite, I would agree with you in principle. However, in this case the Finance Guy is probably trying to make a subtle point that having a cash reserve, especially for a buyer with marginal credit, outweighs putting every dollar towards the down payment, thus being left with little...

I don't care anything about the money. I just happen to have worn purple scivies since my adolesence and simply wanted a color coordianted outfit....

That would be Pure Michigan, m'dear. Where else are Wolverines accepted?...as surly as we are...

Nether a lender or borrower be... .....'specially of scivvies!

Gosh, I really feel comfortable here. Even though my mailing address is Garden, I only live approximately 1.5 miles from Garden Corners! Small world, isn't it?

We Wolverines have learned to be very subtle (out of self-preservation, y'know).
