I'll have to agree that it looks like we are entering an LTL world here. People just don't want to pay the price for expedited service anymore and we are nuts if we give expedited service for LTL prices. Business is self leveling so those of us who give super service for low rates won't be...

I'd like to give the present administration the benefit of the doubt but that's hard for me. I'll admit, I'm conservative but I have to agree with OVM. So far it's lotsa talk and feel good yada, yada, yada, chin music. I don't see any real action other than giving money away that we don't have...

I suspected there were more than a few old duffers on here. I always wondered why they didn't pass him that nickel instead of a lunch?

Yaaa Hawk, I watched it and it was real funny. Cheering up is a good thing.

I may be showing my age but lately this business has me feeling like the "MTA" by the Kinston Trio. I doubt very many folks remember that one.

Aha, Star, ... You're not at all interested in the news. It's the news babes that get you excited. You burst my bubble because I thought you were up to date on current events because of a higher call. Wait till you get 10 years older and you can get all excited about being regular and needing a...

Quit that Cheri, it's not good for an old man to get all weepy. It rusts our pipes. Thanks a bunch!

I'm out of service this week. I averaged 150 to 200 miles per week in the previous 3 weeks and all of 600 with 2 loads the week before that. I may go back into service monday but I'm just as likely to go fishing instead. Seems like it's easier on the budget to stay home and get those honeydoos...

Lets see here. I have hit one deer and had one run into me while I was stopped. I ran down 1 rattlesnake, 1 porkupine, a group of raccoons, a few small birds, a groundhog, a phesant, and a few unidentified critters that went by too fast to recognise.

I like to think I have a little experience in this business but things are very bad right now. If I added up all my paid miles for the last three weeks I wouldn't have 1000 paid miles. Vans just aren't running. I'm thinking of turning my Sprinter into a lawn ornament.

I was a sales rep for a large distributor of outdoor power equipment. I called on power equipment dealers in northern Michigan and the U.P.

I started smoking when I was 18 and in the service. I quit many times but the habit seemed unbreakable until I finally decided it was time to quit. my wife was pregnant for our daughter and it just seemed like the time to quit. It was by far the hardest thing I ever did but I quit cold turkey...

I'm home and been here since Saturday afternoon. I'm in service and have been all this time. I've never sat this long in the Grand Rapids metro area. I sure hope this isn't starting a trend.

Mine is never on. I use it when it's needed at a drop or pickup and that's about it.

I did go in and do the software updates a few minutes ago and I'm looking forward to trying it without her snide remarks. My maps are a year old but I think I'll wait a year and just upgrade to a newer model. Thanks a bunch for the link Turtle, it's much apprciated. .............. TJ

I have not updated the system and I know it's overdue but my present business volume makes me reluctant to do it at this time. I suppose I can afford it but income is so low it might put me into a loss for the month. I have always felt the business should pay for itself and I have general...

My garmin c340 does something that makes me want to pitch it out the window. I'll be driving along happy as a clam when suddenly it will say ",a better route is available," just out of the blue. I have looked this up on line and in that rediculous excuse for a manual and there is no explanation...

I'll never forget that day. We were on vacation and camping at the Michigan state park in St Ignace. We were leaving to go home that morning and I was hooking up the trailer. I remember being a little grumpy as my daughter was inside watching TV instead of helping me. She yelled out the window...

I can fish now because I have discovered dynamite. All you need for true fishing success is dynamite and a rake. I was just passing by and wanted to check out your new diggs but I had to keep moving. I would have called and offered to buy lunch if I had more time.

The Petro in Oak Grove is a nicer stopover spot but Peculiar has such a nice ring to it. Those free showers at the J are hard to beat too. Us little guys can't earn free showers at the Petro.
