Mostly true. That cartoon did not mention the garbage women who are there as well. When it comes to politics it does not matter if the "person" is a he/she or it, they all just seem to suck.

Heading up to my Dad's house in a few minutes. The company that is installing his stair lift chair moved the installation up to today.

Weather is the pits here today.

One story mentioned "medications". That seems to be a common thread. This REALLY needs to be looked at. The same can be said for those with severe brain injury. It becoming apparent that they do not have a handle on that at all. Early reports say this soldier was dealing with both a brain injury...

Double or triple that if your first payment on that new $250,000 truck is due in 10 days! ;)

Yep, it is only a matter of time

That may be so, BUT, it WILL happen to you and it likely will happen more than you would like it to. When it does happen is always costs you money. There is NO way to deny that unless you believe that, YOU, YOUR TIME, are worthless.

2-3 hours waiting to get loaded. Now you cannot deliver on the same day, SO, you have to sit on that load over night, deliver in the morning, where you can sit for another few hours, all the while keeping you from being available for another load.

True, but it is not so much pizzin and moanin when the problem being discussed is real and serious. I for one can attest to the loss of several thousand dollars in lost revenue and burnt fuel due to problems with shippers and consignees.

One cannot spread manure unless one is full of it.

It costs money to sit. That includes while sitting to load or unload. For many in here, sitting waiting to load or unload includes the burning of fuel in a TCU, which costs even more. In more extreme temps, one has to burn fuel in an APU, to maintain comfortable temps in the sleeper and cab. All...

"Would it not be smart on the carriers part to throw the driver some extra out of pocket rather than lose that customer?" The same can be said about not losing a a quality contractor. Showing that a contractor's time is worth something is just as important, assuming a carrier it able to think...

Unfortunately, for many of us, pork bellies may be a far too accurate description. We are worth very little to carriers. Just about any warm, semi-intelligent butt, is all they are looking for. Fair equipment is good enough. They believe that there is an acceptable level of failure and that...

You know the "Primary Rules of Expediting". Those rules have been in place since day one and will ALWAYS be in place. RULE ONE: If the carrier makes a mistake, it's your fault and you have to pay for it. RULE TWO: If the shipper or consignee makes a mistake, it's your fault and you have...

It will only get worse.

Thank you kind sir.

NO more worry about my dad falling down the stairs. Right now he is CRAWLING on all fours to go up and down to do his laundry. He will NOT put something like this on his own. We had to invent a fictional story about how it was being paid for, he is one stubborn old cuss to say the least, but it...

Now not going back in service until Tuesday next week. We are putting in a stair chair lift for my Dad who is no longer able to go up or down his basement stairs. I somehow managed to condense a 3 week process into one, and it will installed on Monday next week. This chair will take a load off...

STILL at home! We now have the truck work done, EXCEPT the tires. They will FINALLY be in later this week. I THOUGH I had planned enough time off to cover the repairs but I was short on my plan by 4 days.

I don't know enough about history to know the "journey" that the documents have taken over the years. I have seen, copies, of many documents, and with the help of a German linguist, was able to hear just a little of what happened, that was enough to make one sick. I really do believe such a...
