It seems in recent years they've gotten a reputation for never being happy and willing to strike over the littlest things. The Buzz Hargrove influence?

You've gotta be kidding! That was sarcasm, right?

My comment on the sticky thing should have been followed by a smiley, my bad. It wasn't meant in any kind of mean way. Lawrence has never shown a desire to use this forum as his own bully pulpit. To expand on the history that you talked about, that has changed a LOT since the 90's, hasn't...

Good point aging one. There are those that say the private jet issue is much ado about nothing. These guys are CEO's and that's a standard perk. IMHO, what it is is a small snapshot of the mindset that got them where they are. Like Sen. Dirksen said so many years ago, "a billion here, a billion...

That part is just not true. I've hauled for Honda a lot, quite a bit for Toyota, including several trips to the Georgetown plant right down the road from you. I've done a few for Nissan, none for Hyundai but I know people that have. These companies have made big commitments to this country and...

Dragon, could you point out what you saw as a smartazz remark in the 2 posts that followed your initial post? I just don't see anything remotely close to anything like that.

I'm happy to report the celebration went well. Thanks for giving us an excuse to break out the barley, hops and malt!

But Turtle, isn't it your patriotic duty to spread the freight around?

Geez Lawrence, is this a sticky because your opinion is that important? If one, or all, of the Big Three go milk modules up, cars will still be built by someone. Parts will need to be delivered to those plants. Those plants will still need suppliers. A company making fenders for GM, could easily...

Exactly! Charles, that was a well written essay and I totally agree, in theory. But, let's talk about the real world. We don't know what kind of rate the guy that took the $250 load got to get out there. It could very well be that he could run that cheap and still hit a good overall number...

How many 39's is that? I'm on my 15th! Just kidding, Happy Birthday!

Unless something changes, and an expediters life is always subject to change, I'll be there tomorrow evening.

What if some Wesson Oil were thrown into the mix?

I talked to Broom a couple of weeks ago. He's doing great, as he always seems to do. That's why I call him Golden Boy.

Is there an official start date yet?

Personally, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me that a frontal lobotomy.

Sorry about that Moose, I misunderstood. Generally, I'm not one to scare people away from this business unless they seem like someone that wouldn't adapt and do well. I don't get into selling it much either. Right now, I just think it's better to sit back and wait for things to pick up again...

ROFLMAO! Good one...

Well Moose, judging from the sarcastic tone I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're doing well right now. That's great! I have no doubt that some people are. But, if you've been reading the Forum you know that there are some that aren't. If you've kept up with the news, even a little...

The power to change history with the mere tickle of a keyboard. What a talent to be blessed with!
