One my first as well. Nice, clear and cool morning here. No wind for a change.

Major understatement of the year there OVM!!! :p Must be short on coffee. Mornin Ken.

We don't have a set cpm that we won't go below. Each load is taken on it's on merits. Like Phil said, sitting waiting for loads is not free, it has a cost as well. In most cases, not all, we will turn down loads that do not make us a profit.

Good, it is not a carriers responsibility to pay for others bad life choices.

Really? I did not know that. They don't have to pay for it do they? I know with FDCC if I test bad and it is proven not to be a false test, I am toast, as I should be. No drinking and driving or doing illegal drugs. No problem.

Well, I can show proof of everything that I have done in my life if you so chose to come by the house sometime and see it. It is all documented. OR, you can just be rude or even call me a liar. Your choice, matters not to me. I guess I should apologize for working hard, succeeding at most things...

We sometime eat at Denny's or Cracker Barrel. Most of the time it is when we can't find a place that serves food!! :p

I have done both, I have experienced both. They both have their issues. As a manager I stood on hard concrete day in and day out. As a worker I destroyed my hearing working code and signals. I watched managers drop dead from the stress. It is easy to dismiss what a manager may or may not do...

No, I have not. They are also not the same thing. In the first place, illegal drugs are illegal. They made a choice to deliberately break a very important rule, one that is NOT there just to mess with them. It was NOT an accident. They CHOSE to do this. It is possible to get a ticket without...

Good, my Dad LOVES their bread. Too bad they don't have a web site. That is a bit silly these days.

That happens in some places. The larger the company and the larger the union the least likely it is to happen. I do know one thing, having been union, labor and management, management is a FAR harder row to hoe than working the line is.

Here ya go Turtle: West Fenkell Bakery 15282 Middlebelt Rd Livonia, MI 4815 734-427-9860 My Dad said he bought 3 loaves today and has one half gone already!! :D

I will get the name of it for you. It's ok, you are safe in that part of Michigan, they only bake there, not make turtle soup!!:p

Most likely a little bit of everything. It is nice though. I could use October to be this good.

I hope this stuff keeps up. This week might have been our best this year. I have not looked back yet but I think it is. Sept is going to be one of our best months as well, even with the time we took off. I like this trend.

Hey ugly pants!! We ran just shy of 3800 miles this week I will have you know!! We were close to having hour of service problems. Ok now on that. Been VERY busy of late. This is the first time in a very long time that we don't have a pre-dispatch for Monday.

Go to Gilroy, California, during the garlic harvest!! Just breathing makes you hungry!! There is a bakery in Detroit that makes "garlic bread". Not the buttered sprinkle on kind, REAL garlic bread. It is a good Italian style loaf, chewy crust with whole garlic cloves baked in. My Dad buys one...

Didn't say you, just rambling as per normal. I am addicted to rambling. It's not my fault. Maybe the government should give me money!! :p

Why is everything a disease? Why could it not just be bad choices in life. You CHOOSE to drink, smoke pot, do coke, gamble. I have seen far too many who did these things just stop, cold turkey. Can you just "quit" cancer? Making every bad thing that man can do a disease only takes away personal...

The employee should cover the cost. The company is NOT penalizing the family. The one who did that stupid act is. The individual is at fault. Those actions are NOT mistakes, they are deliberate acts. They knew what they were doing. It is NOT the fault of the company. As a company I would...
