As we sit today we have 126 runs for the year. 51 runs were pre-dispatch. It is nice being able to plan ahead. Nov. was slow, we were concerned, but Dec has been extremely good. Hopefully, it will continue when we come back mid-Jan. Over-all, 2008 was a very good year for us. We grossed...

Hi India, This is something I've heard on the radio for years. I dont know who did it or wrote it, I too laugh at it. Its a tradition, like listening to "Alices Restaraunt" at Thanksgiving or Dickens "A Christmas Carol" at Christmas. It is in our Family Recipe Book as well.

I think the % of those here who lambast their previous employers is about the same %, + or - a few thousand words, who sing their current carriers praises. They are both at the opposite ends of the curve scale and their opinions would not be part of the sample. Go figure.

We have had a TomTom, then a Garmin and now a TomTom. We gave our original TomTom to our Daughter last year and thought we'd try Garmin. Linda and I like the TomTom over the Garmin so we returned it for another TomTom. We got use to the layout of the TomTom and the info it gives out. It was...

We are in a "tuff" economy. One that will challenge everyone. How we have prepared ourselves, the time we took to understand our business, the steps taken to insure or assure sufficient funds in a downturn cycle, and tenacity to address the new face of business ( as it changes daily)...
