Jeanie: Save me a spot by you & Susie - am looking forward to seeing TeamCaffee's new truck, [it will be sad to see them without Molly, for the first time, though], and need to swap one broken Save-A-Load bar, sigh. Do we get to do the Health Walk in jammies again?:D

It's not in mine, which isn't FedEx. Nor does it say I must be awake and dressed to drive ;)

Pookie: if you advised dispatch of your agreement to take one skid, and only one, before accepting the load, then I apologize. But you didn't, did you? The issue was presented only after you arrived at the shipper and found it was two skids [though still within your contracted capacity.] PS...

One other thing: locals say the exit the bus was about to take is often the scene of large vehicle crashes, because of the need to get their speed down a lot in a short distance. It might be that the bus simply couldn't decelerate from 'very fast' to a low speed exit - at times, the posted...

There are several different versions being described, such as which lane the bus was in, and which the t/t was in, and whether the t/t clipped the bus, or the driver simply overreacted to a perceived possibility that it might make contact. There's a couple red flags, like the bus company's...

Pjjjjj: in general, I agree with what you said, but there are two points that negate the whole argument you made: 1 Pookie did NOT specify to dispatch that he would take the run "if it were one skid". A load offer came over the QC specifying one skid, and was accepted. As a dozen folks have...

That's exactly what it's all about: volunteers serving as insulation between the mourners and the protesters. No one interferes with the WBC's right to free speech, they simply exercise their own, without saying a word, or holding a sign, either. Their actions speak loud and clear, and the WBC...

Thank you, Diva - that's the one I couldn't recall the name of. And IT WORKED! Another one I just read on Wiki: in Boston, volunteers organized a call-a-thon: folks called in donations to gay/lesbian groups for every minute the WBC protested. I like that one! :D

What's too bad is that there is a way to discourage them, exercising our own right to free speech. Volunteers have helped by taking all available parking [the WBC needs to publicize their plans in advance, of course], then surrounding the grieving family with a ring of silent support. When the...

I'm so glad you're back - good stuff. :) He said "FedEx has van dimensions" because, you know, it's THEIR fault for assuming he had the required equipment, including provisions for both drivers to sleep.:rolleyes:

This one's a keeper! I could spend weeks just reading the 'reader's comments', lol. :)

Like the Highway Star said, I like to start the morning with a good laugh - thanks, Danny! Now I need to clean the coffee from the keyboard.:eek:

Until Mr Pookie can understand the difference between what he is contracted to do [pick up & deliver the load] & what he would prefer to do [sleep in comfort every night], he is destined to repeat his error, and continue blaming someone else. PS When teaming in a van, I once napped on top of the...

Hoping for good news, as you take care of what is most precious in life.

Throwing Mom & Dad under is even worse, lol. :eek:
