    "Real quick note on the "Arizona Heat" and pets talked about here a couple of pages back. Homeowners who have pets do have strict regulations in place when it comes to keeping pets out of the heat during the summer. Was watching "Animal Cops-Phoenix" on Animal Planet channel a while back...

    Political Correctness in Mexifornia

    I was under the impression that this was the United States of America. We have a Constitution, freedom of speech. Everyone can display our flag, it is our right as an American. I was under the impression that Cinco De Mayo was a Mexican holiday, not a U.S. Holiday. Many places in this country...

    Depends on where you find the "rat" dog. I have seen working Jack Russels in Scotland and Yorkshire Terriers in North Yorkshire. I can assure you that they are nothing like the silly yippers like you see in this country. The "jacks" are used to pull live foxes out of their holes. The "yorkies"...

    Labatt's is better than Molson or Bud. When I drink beer I prefer beers by Great Lakes Brewing, they don't make "cookie cutter" beers. I like the "Edmonds Fitzgerald" brew. I would rather have Jim Beam Black. I would allow a truck with a dog that was delivering that!! :p I put a link to Great...

    Carrier Awards/Rewards

    Yeah, formal recognition is OK, more money per load is better!! Carriers could do much, but that would require an imagination and a willingness to want to do something. There are far too many out there willing to jump in and take our spot if we leave. The carrier is not all that worried, warm...

    Carrier Awards/Rewards

    Had to struggle? LOL! You mean STILL struggling!! :eek: That is not strange when large companies are involved. I am not saying that it is how it should be or even right, that is just how it is. When it gets too bad the company will start having problems with contractors, in our business, or...

    May 2010 locations

    We have the possibility of a hard freeze here, Sunday and Monday nights. Temps could get down to below 30 in some areas. Still too early to plant gardens. Not that we ever do being on the road all time.

    Carrier Awards/Rewards

    Normal for many businesses. Throughout much of my life I seldom heard from bosses unless it was negative. Once a year you would get a silly "performance review". They were often "inflated" with "outstanding" rating for everyone. Performance rating should be done on an almost weekly basis...

    Larry Brown Ticketing Truckers

    Larry Brown Ticketing Truckers

    Please give us some more info on this no stop thing. My wife was told in no uncertain terms by a PA State Trooper that she was REQUIRED to stop or she would be arrested. This was after I told her never to stop, more so at night, for an unmarked car. I told her to drive to a police station or...

    truck stop bums

    Well, at least they have a roof. :rolleyes: People in the '30's, often had little prior to the crash so losing a little was not as hard as it would be on today's spoiled babies. Also, back then at least in those people that I know, family was the main thing in life, NOT toys and "things" My...

    truck stop bums

    Oh, I agree that the recovery is a sham and times will get MUCH harder. We have yet to see REALLY hard times. The BIG difference between the 1930's and now is people, generally speaking, were not nearly as spoiled and lazy as they are today. They also pitched in to HELP each other, planted...

    Did business die again?

    Don't know, we have been out of service for a while. We did get a call a 6 this morning asking us to go back in service a day early. We were not able to help. Back up and running tomorrow.
