Let's pray that this is not the beginning of something bigger. Layoutshooter

I saw some drawings, I think they were in the "J" magizine, where some guy that designs race cars was working on a "slippery" truck. It is about time they are really going to pay attention to this stuff. Layoutshooter

We need several thousand of them, blade to blade. Then just go for it!! Layoutshooter

Make it walleye and I will give it to you!! :D Layoutshooter

We already have one of those here. It is commonly called the Detroit River!! Way more fun than those fake water thingys. REALLY good fishing!! Layoutshooter

I am not surprised. I would be willing to bet that England has changed little since I was there as well. Layoutshooter

I go along with leveling Detriot and much of the surrounding area but nix on the amusement park. We are going to re-establish the wetlands in the area. Maybe we can get up to having 2 or 3% of the wetlands that used to be there. I would like to see more but I won't live long enough to even see...

The Ozarks were ahead of parts of Japan and Europe. I was in Japan in 1971-72. There were large areas, even around the base I was on, where people were still living in grass roof huts with hard dirt floors. That is kind of tough in the winter. Lot's of heavy snow there. Much of the country then...

I just re-read this, it is a UN thing, that explains everything. I, for the most part, discount everything that the Useless Neighbors organization puts out. Between the graft, corruption and the in-action when faced with threat they seem to do nothing. All they want is to be the seat of the New...

Can't see the chart. Kinda hard to look at things that way. Layoutshooter

I lived in England where they had VERY high taxes. It was like stepping back 30 years or more into history. I lived in Japan and it was very backward at the time compared to the US. They had much higher tax rates. I would like to know what organization produced this artical and the methodology...

Things will get much worse in Detroit before they get better. The dependence on a single industry has really hurt the area. Couple that with a out of wack tax structure, a rather high cost of living and non-competitive wages and it is very difficult to attract new industries. The area needs...

That is really cool. You ae looking a the wave of the future. I read somewhere that our mirrors account for 10% of the drag we deal with. Paying attention to aerodynamics will give a huge boost to our mpg. I wonder which ideas or combination of ideas will make it to the production stage...

Yeah, wait they hit him up for the taxes!!! LOL! Not to worry Piper1, we are right behind you on the taxes. In fact, I bet we get hit for more than you guys up there soon!!! Layoutshooter

How did I know that was coming? LOL :o Layoutshooter

It is not right to be happy over others mis-fortune. It will not only be those who were just screw up. Many good O/O will drop for any number of reasons. Yes, some will do better and it will cause rates to increase. A little compassion is in order. Layoutshooter

There is also likey to be more, not less, "special needs" freight. High value etc. Our industry will change to meet those needs. Carriers that can't, or won't will fail. Those who go after that freight will will. It is that simple and that hard. Layoutshooter

Well if it is that bad, the world will soon end and none of us will have to make our next payment. Don't act like a polition, everything is NOT a crisis. I promise you, if EVERY carrier and truck goes bad SOMEONE will come up with a even better plan. Life goes on. Some will make it, some won't...

There are many of us just holding on. You will come out ok. There is always a new gig to move on too. Layoutshooter

I am sorry to hear you are not going to make it. Many of us won't over the next several months. Good luck on whatever comes next. Layoutshooter
