    E-track straps with a shorter lead line, like 1 or 2 feet vs 4 feet.

    Does the stitching done a shoe repair shops meet DOT/MOT standards?

    High Wind Warning

    I was going to say something but I figured you were at Isis again and would not see it. I FINALLY seen that place the other day. Is it even in business? If so, to people go there of their own accord or are the forced. Looked kind of "off" from the outside.

    Where is Jessie?

    I NEVER said that white people were going to riot because of this incident. I believe that we may be headed for riots because of the state of things is the city, that would lead to incidents like this. The lawlessness is that great. The hopelessness is that great. If there are riots it will be...

    Where is Jessie?

    I was 16 during the '67 riot in Detroit. I spent what seemed like endless hours working a relief station where people could shelter when driven out of their homes. I will NEVER for the sight of regular US army troops on the streets. Tanks. Coming out of Detroit on Fort Street, M85, there were...

    Where is Jessie?

    It is very sad. There is no excuse. Detroit's racial make up is almost 88% black. It is those same black people that are being harmed the most by what is going on. The "thug" or "tribal" attitude of a large minority of the people of that city is a big part of what is holding it back. They need...

    Where is Jessie?

    The ONLY reason race is an issue is because Jessie, Al and Barry keep making it so. Why we accept, even condone, this sort of thing is beyond belief. Why do I say condone? It is allowed to go on. It CAN be stopped. It will not be stopped until the majority of the people stand up and say enough...

    Right now $.75 per hour would be GREAT! I am making NOTHING right now! That is part of the problem with rates dropping, working more, or even the same amount of hours/miles, to make less money is NOT the best choice.

    Where is Jessie?

    There was ANOTHER man attacked by a mob in Detroit yesterday. This time the man was killed. After they beat the guy they ran him over with a car. Where are all the "leaders"? There is little outrage. This time the victim was black. No word yet on the make up of the mob. If nothing is done, if...

    I had to order the cables for the hood. Paid an additional $18 to get them here tomorrow. WITH any luck, which I do seem to be short of, we can make it back in service on Wed at the latest.

    I was 22 years old the last time I made $5.15 per hour and I am now 63. When I DID make $5.15 an hour that was VERY good money for the time. I can promise you one thing for sure, IF I were your age now I would NOT be driving a van, OR working for $5.15 per hour. NEITHER sound like a plan to me...

    I understand that. No matter how you look at it the pay is too low. WAY too low. Expediting is reaching a point, rapidly, where it is not longer worth the effort. It is getting more difficult with each passing day to make the kind of money I need to meet my needs. The truck I own has to...

    Yep. My time is VERY valuable. Making less for the same amount, or more hours, does not meet my demands. I need MORE per mile, not less. MORE per hour worked, not less.

    They make less than I earn now. End of story. Besides, they look like perverted vans. They make WAY less per mile then I am willing to work for. The heck with it.

    NOPE! Unless there are MEGA changes in this business, when this truck is gone, so am I. It is NOT worth the hassles. The returns, at least from my perspective, do not justify the outlay. The idea of a sprinter is even LESS appealing. Don't want one of those ugly looking box doohickeys.
