    Finding one with parking is the tougher part. I will check into that, but to enroll the whole company might get expensive really fast even with a discount.

    Good states have been harder than Texas this week. It really just proves the point that you can not plan that well and it is just better to roll with it sometimes. A good decision one week is a bad move the next week. Just one of the many joys of the expedite industry.

    Both items are still on my list. Trust me when I say the list will be addressed one way or the other and cleaned up at some point.

    Right now we seem to be about out of room everywhere. We are out of space for staff, lol. The only place might be the back building, but that isn't 24 hours so that doesn't seem very workable. My wheels are still turning on the idea. It takes a few weeks. Your body goes into ketosis in...

    I need to someday get some treadmills at work for everyone. I think it would be a great addition to put in a small work out area for the staff and drivers.

    I used to do it for years, but fell off the atkins wagon last year and slowly started gaining weight. With my hectic lifestyle it is tough but it is the only diet that works for me. After a while it really becomes more of a lifestyle than a diet. Took off 15lbs so far, hoping to drop 10 more...

    I don't think anyone here had bad intentions. We all know what shop we are talking about and they have a long history of doing great work for our people and putting Load One as a priority. Let's not make a big thing out of something that may be nothing. Now everyone play nice :D

    There goes them YRC loads some carriers do.....

    Doesn't sound like a big change except they are going to quit competing with the other companies they already own. Amazing it took them years to figure that plan out.

    Ideally we never want to relocate a truck during "prime" hours. We have little shot of getting you a load while you are a moving target. Generally we will wait till early evening when we see volumes dropping down before we relocate a unit. A method to this madness

    Sorry, when that happens, dispatch knows about them but I can't see them on my screens. The clock resets when a truck is dispatched, we don't have the ability to over ride or reset it.
