LOL, my english teacher is turning over in her grave when I write in here. I agree somewhat about the degree and capitolism. BUT, don't apply it as the ONLY thing. Let's say I go up against a 25 year old for a job. I have 42 years in the work force and he has a degree in basket weaving (a...

I am glad to see the new macro, that will help. I understand the reason for the new dispatch system. I don't care for it much, from my way of thinking, not FedEx's. I prefere to speak with people. BUT, FedEx has a business to run, so do I. My business and FedEx's are some what tied together...

Tell ya one thing, for as much money as I am spending on fuel trying to keep this truck cool enough to breathe we could have stayed at a Ritz/Carlton and come out ahead!!! Had a clean shower, a real bed ................. Layoutshooter

Sounds like fun, a NW convention. Much like here in Phoenix this weekend. There are 5 FedEx trucks in the "J" lot, only 4 are checked in. Guess the other guy just likes sitting in 110 heat in a urine soaked parking lot. I know we do!!!! GEEZ. Layouthsooter

Got it!! I am a bit slow on the up take at times. You know, part-timers disease!!! What little brain I have left only works part of the time!!!! layoutshooter

Gee LDB, I can remember when job promotions were based on performance and ability much as you described. When being able to do a job was worth more than pieces of paper. When experance was worth more than book learning. Ever wonder why things are soooo screwed up any more? Not me. That is how we...

The only TA I know of north of Detroit is near Saginaw. I don't think I was complaining, just stating what I saw. I guess. Layoutshooter

What is the drought situation like there? Are the hills very dry? Could the deer and small game populations be higher and the cats are moving down after food? When they get down they would find "easier table fair" in house cats and farm animals. Cats and most predators are lazy. They will only...

OVM, I looked at the SD page again. The fee for Mountian Lion hunting is $15. That is for state wide. The limit this year is 35 cats. No tags are available for non-residents. What little I read suggests that they have a fair handle on the population and range carrying capablity. I did not read...

Most likey the cost is too high for most out of staters. I did not look at prices but I know from talking to people who hunt there that the fee's are high. I will have to look harder. Layoutshooter

Hey OVM, I was just looking at the SD hunting regs. They did not even fill all of the couger/mountian lion tags that were available. Sounds like the hunters there are letting you guys down. The application deadline ended July 31. Looking at the numbers of hunters in the state, it sounds like you...

I was taught by my prior owner and expediter mentor not to leave the house for cheap. He said "Never leave the barn for cheap frieght but you can take cheap frieght if it gets you back to the barn. " I have lived by that rule. If I have to sit an extra day I would rather do it where I have all...

Thanks, you live in the same town as OVM, do you know him? I wish I could live in an area like that. I have to stay in Michigan for the time being, family. My dad is still around. Doing well at almost 86. Still deer hunting. Who knows what the future my bring. Might end up there someday. I would...

Greg, anytime you need help with deer control let me know, I would be happy to assist you with that problem!!!! LOL The 10/22 is not a bad rifle, I own one. The Kimbers are really nice but pricey. I like the bolt action over the semi-autos, more accurate. A bit slower on a second shot but you...

Every time I lost my jobs when I was younger, in Michigan, I got another, sometimes two. At one point I was laid off from 3 jobs at the same time. When I could not find another job I moved to where I could. I always move or what ever. Those guys at the TA in Monroe are just lazy. I live in that...

The problem in our area is coyotes. Before we started expediting we had an older dog. She was VERY slow by that time and sick. We could not leave her outside on her own. We had to watch her every minute. Especiaslly early in the morning or late at night. She would have been an easy meal for a...

As to makes and models. If I don't have run over the weekend I will FORCE myself to find a sporting goods shop and look at a few. I will send a message to you with some suggestions in different price ranges. Layoutshooter

EVERY alien that came into this country by other than legal means IS a criminal. NO other word fits them. And I don't want to hear any whinning about my being anti-immigration or racist. I am only second generation here. My Mom and Dad where the first born in our family in this country. ALL my...
