    Will Hold Time ever improve at Panther?

    Do this... the next time they call you, tell them to please hold and then mute the phone and set it down. See how long they hold on. :D

    In addition, a new set of Mood Icons have been uploaded. There's like 195 of them. There's actually 242 in the pack, but a bunch of them were done for explicit adult sites and really don't have any place here. The old Mood Icons were overwritten, so if you noticed your mood has changed, that's...

    Maybe prayers for both maybe in order

    It was a rhetorical question to illustrate why he didn't receive minute-by-minute updated national press coverage during his recovery. It's why the thousands of others in the hospital recovering from drug overdoses aren't getting the press coverage, either.

    The Trump Card...

    As has been noted, a wall in and of itself won't keep anyone in or out. It has to be part of a comprehensive plan for it to work.

    It's not a bad idea at all, but not necessary always, always. For use with "always" I would choose "prudent" or "smart" rather than "necessary," as in "Would it not always be prudent..." or "Would it not always be smart.." to chock the wheels. If I'm on flat ground and so is the forklift, and...

    If the forklift operator plows through the parking brake, or if the parking brake fails, you're right back to no parking brake. We're circling, with the key phrase being "plow right through the parking brake." "That's what I used to do until I saw a forklift operator plow right through the...

    October in Load 1 Nation

    At least the NFL Network showed several Bengals naked (censored video) in a live locker room interview with Pacman Jones. Ironically, of all the asses and dicks in the shot, Pacman is the biggest. yuk yuk :JC-hysterical:

    Fold Out, Wall Mount Bed

    Yes, I do. One reason is, the second load I ever had in expediting was in a 2-skid Ford van carrying 2 skids and no place to sleep on a run from Chicago to San Francisco. I ended up getting a motel room twice to sleep. I learned rather quickly that wouldn't work long term. Most of the time it...

Just a couple of weeks ago I had the parking brake on and the van in Neutral, and as the forklift operator was loading the second metal tub...

    That's what I used to do until I saw a forklift operator plow right through the parking brake and shatter the parking gear actuator inside the transmission. Now it's in Neutral, with the emergency brake on, and then wheels chocked if necessary.

    One little tip for when someone does slam the van with a forklift... it's a good idea to use the parking brake with the gears in Neutral instead of park.
