    T/A steps up to the plate

    I am probably going back to T/A's since Pilot decided to get cheap wwith reward points. I have had issues with the Flying J miserable incompetent clerks so I refuse to go there. I like the TA's in Cartersville GA,San Antonio, and Eloy AZ as some of the best in the T/A chain. Now most Loves are...

    LTL vs. D unit update

    I wouldn't be supried if Overnight has some serious financial problems. A couple of weeks ago I made a pick up at their Savannah GA terminal and it was a pigsty. The parking lot was full of holes,the docks had trash and junk scattered everywhere, one look at the rest room was enough and the...

    Stern on Sirius

    I was a subscriber to Esquire Magazine which always was a class mens magazine up until last month when Howard Stern was on the cover and featured inside.

    Road to Detroit is paved with bird droppings!

    Why do 2 guys who live in Michigan root for the Seahawks. You would think they would root for the "once mighty.once feared,once powerfull" as Howard Cossel used to say, Detroit Lions. I lived in Taylor Mi for a short stretch and went to Lions games. Back then they were one tough football team.

    Criteria For Turning Down Loads

    I totally agree with all of the situations especially Number five. Like Terry, when I was new I ran loads under conditions that I would be parked and sleeping today.. When you run off the road and possibly get hurt the next message you will receive is "Call us when you are back in service".

    How will Ford changes affect you?

    In one way or another it will affect us all.Assume 500 Expedite loads every day are dedicated to the Ford and GM locations plus their suppliers, the companies that presently are satisfied with this freight will go looking elsewhere. In many cases the smaller companies have less overhead than the...

    Movie

    Last night the wife and I had a minor "Date Night",went out to dinner and a movie. We saw the movie "Brokeback Mountain" about the 2 gay cowboys. Leaving that issue alone the acting was superb and I could see why it won a lot of awards. However one thing stood out to me, the opening scene shows...
