    ***Looking for Expedite Brokers/Dispatches**

    Looks suspicious, maybe, but it's just coincidence. A lot of people read here and never register unless and until they want to post something. We have things in place now that detects and prevents people from registering a sock puppet, and lets us know when an existing one tries to post. In...

    Feel The Bern?

    It may be that one of the ingredients contains some residual email SAP and some allergic reactions will develop.

    June idle chit chat and banter and freight hauling

    Wait till you get a load delivering in Manhattan at 0900 and you need to go around the block to deliver in the alley behind the building but you can't because there are 'No Turns' (left or right) so you go 12 blocks and turn left and go 12 blocks and turn left and go 11 blocks and then you can't...

    ***Looking for Expedite Brokers/Dispatches**

    Well, if you look at his posting history, you'll see the question is a little, uhm, odd. Lawrence asked the salient question, as the only person who would be looking for additional brokers - because their business is growing - would be a manufacturer / shipper looking for increased capacity...

    Cargo Van I got kicked out of a Flying J

    When I'm there I park in one of the 4 spots in the NE corner of the lot.

    Well, that and the fact they'll ticket you in a heartbeat. Trust me on that. :D

    Yeah, there are tolls. But mainly to get into the city. They'll let you out for free. :D Don't get on a Parkway. Any road named parkway, stay off it. Parkway or not, if the sign says no trucks, pretend you're a truck. In NYC you're a truck. Depending on where in Brooklyn you're going, if...

    The Trump Card...

    (continuing) The judge has made several rulings in accordance with the wishes of the plaintiff's attorneys that absent any connections or conflicts might be viewed as a little odd, but nothing to get too worked up about (despite possibly being grounds for an appeal). But when you add in the...

    The Trump Card...

    The funny thing about Trump's "racist" remarks about Federal District Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel, about how Trump wants to build a wall across the Mexican border, Trump's remarks about Mexicans, and how Curiel's Mexican heritage may be a conflict of interest in the two Trump University trials in...

    Looks good in the movies, but trust me, there's not a beach towel or blanket big enough that will keep all that sand where it belongs.

    Thinking about Retiring? This could be fun.

    Royal Caribbean is pretty consistently ranked as the #1 best cruise line for the money. I only have the 2 cruise lines as a references. Been on 4 different ships, though. They (whoever they are) rank not only the company but each individual boat. I keep hearing that a Disney cruise is pretty...

    Yeah, that's what you want - sand in all your nether regions, and then apply vigorous friction. :squirrel:

    A turtle without a shell is neither homeless nor naked. It's food.

    Thinking about Retiring? This could be fun.

    A transatlantic cruise would be pretty awesome. I've never actually had to pay for mine. All 4 that I went on were company retreats for the top portrait salespeople and photographers at Olan Mills. The first one was a 4 night cruise to the Bahamas on Carnival. Went to Nassau and Freeport...

    Thinking about Retiring? This could be fun.

    I think Norwegian is the best cruise line overall. They regularly have last minute deals as low as $50-$75 a night. But the main thing is their rooms tend to be the largest of any cruise ship, and they have more free activities, like the music, comedy and Broadway shows, that cost extra on other...

    Growacet, new drug.

    I never said anything about not being able to whine. Clearly you can whine. All I said was that the whining in your first sentence wasn't really a good indicator that you are showing an ability to stay on topic.

    Growacet, new drug.

    Once again, a brilliant addition to the conversation. That's a line from Prince Harry's soliloquy from Henry IV, where he concludes that by earning the people’s disapproval with his current behavior, he sets himself up to appear all the more glorious when he finally decides to earn their...

    If that's all you gleaned from my post, then it's not hard to understand why you can't post in the Soapbox.

    Take your time. By Tuesday afternoon the weather will probably be beautiful. Between now and then, though, at least 4-6 inches of rain in Jacksonville. The eye of the storm is passing through NNE just north of Jacksonville. And it'll be raining a couple hundred miles on either side. It's hitting...
