It would not surprise me to find out the Barry SUPPORTS them. :mad: I don't trust Obama as far as I could throw him. Which at my age and shape is not very far.

That is also why we always wear a CLEAN uniform when with a customer. Even if it is NOT a White Glove load. A clean neat appearance is VERY important. So is a clean truck, inside the cargo box or out. No matter how bad the weather the cargo area should always be neat, clean and ready to load.

Always be careful of what you wish for. As bad as Gadhafi is, and he is REALLY bad, it is possible to get worse. Al-Qaida commander calls for Islamic rule in Libya CAIRO – A top Libyan al-Qaida commander has urged his countrymen to overthrow Moammar Gadhafi's regime and establish...

Yep and you will find the same sort of thing in ALL pro sports and forms of entertainment. I guess that form of "self -medication" is less harmful that drugs or booze.

Yes Greg, I know what sites we have. I also know what is needed to launch vehicles of this size and where they need to be launched from for different types of orbits. he fact is we do not have a lot of options, Kennedy and Vandenburg are our two main sites for very good reason. There is...

Guess that works out then, a balance. I would never live around Atlanta again, I hate hot weather. Atlanta is too crowded too. Shoot where I live is too crowded and there are only 10 houses. More people live in the cemetery than in the rest of the township. Nope, big cites just suck.

Did a bit more research and that system just MIGHT have enough umph to put this particular bird up. Still it is NOT a U.S. built launch vehicle which is required for all DOD type launches.

I don't think that can handle launch vehicles of that size. Could be wrong. It would have to be moved a LONG way for a launch such as this one. Wrong geometry for orbit insertion. Looked it up. First off, WAY too small of a launch vehicle. Second, the vehicle is NOT a U.S. made system. Other...

I don't remember ever reading about that.

I doubt very much that FedEx would discuss personal matters.

For some it is a release of stress, a diversion from the boredom and grind of everyday life. I prefer to hunt and fish but to each his own. Some people go to rock concerts, country or an opera. Those things are no different than a sports game. Just entertainment of different forms. I don't...

We, the United States, owns only has a couple of launch areas. Cape Canaveral, and Vandenburg AFB are the two main areas and I understand we now have another one somewhere on the northern west coast. It may even be in Alaska, not sure, I have never looked it up. These systems HAVE to been...

When we contract at a "C" rate we agree to carry a load that can, and often does, equal or exceed the weight limit for "C" rate loads. When it exceeds we get "D" rate pay. I have to be ready to fill my truck as required. I would think that a van is no different but then I have never, and...

Yep, and the BEST hunting and fishing of the year!! :D

Summer is a BAD word!! Let's hope it is cool and short. :p Not long until June 21st and the move to FALL!! :p

The launches are kinda hard to hide. The make a LOT of noise and light!! They have to close air space etc. The payload is what is classified. Any good analyst from any country knows, at the very least, what kind of orbit that bird is going into, and has a basic idea what the bird is for. It...

There are minimum requirements that MUST be met to put a truck on with FedEx. You should not even get as far as a lease if you have not met AT LEAST the minimum requirements. You can ALWAYS exceed them. The MINIMUM specs for a cargo van listed below. Vehicle Specifications Cargo...

Obama could not lead a frog to water if they were both sitting in the pond!! He is about as useless a person as I have EVER seen.

It is really hard to believe this thread is STILL going on!! I have a lease with FedEx. To get that lease I meant the requirements to GET the lease in the first place. Those requirements set MINIMUMS for usable cargo space, number of straps, pads, bars etc. I exceed all requirements.

I have not been able to connect for a hour or so at different times today. I have also not been able to post more than once without getting bounced out.
