    Great Lakes left to die

    OVM - probably those Gobi fish or zebra mussels. There's stretches of beach along Lake Erie that are like walking on razors with those darn shells.

    LayoutShooter is a Chicken when it comes to Debate

    Don't care about the debate one way or the other. Haven't been to the expo since it was at the Detroiter. Is it pretty much the same event still?

    Ford brings Hybrid jobs to Michigan

    Yeah, it's a handful of jobs in the big picture, but still a trend I hope continues.:) Ford Motor Co. announced Monday that it would invest $135 million to expand two Michigan plants to build batteries and powertrains for its hybrid-electric vehicles. A plant in Ypsilanti will assemble...

    Do Dispatchers Lie?

    I was a dispatcher for a while too. We were paid by the hour and no bonus - didn't need to lie. If the dispatchers are getting a bonus based on what they cover; that's when I would look for the lies of omission and flatout lies to start flying.:(

    Could Marcy Kaptur Be Worried?

    She should be voting according to her beliefs. If that doesn't match up with her constituency, then they should vote her out.

    We Don't Need No Stinkin Vote.....

    There have been a couple of attempts that didn't make it very far. Example: the two fellas from TN that had the trip planned. I agree with you though. I'm surprised there have not been more attempts. Although maybe there have been and they have done a good job of keeping it quiet. I do not...

    Run on my own authority or go with big guys

    You also have some shippers that don't want to deal with a carrier unless they have a minimum # of trucks or that you have had your authority for over a year, etc. Like Dennis said, it can take some deep pockets to make it work.

    Isn't Lake Erie cleaner in large part due to Zebra mussels?

    coleman cooler problem

    I have one of those and I just plug it directly into the receptacle. It has gotten only slightly warm after running for a few hours. Had it for years and never had a problem. I'd take it back.

    i have question .should i stay or should i go

    Have you looked at trucking outside of expedite? There are other sectors of the industry that would not keep you close to home. I would imagine that somebody out there (airlines, freight forwarders, regional carriers, etc.) has runs between Phoenix and Tuscon. My point is just to not cut...

    Why does the Census cost 14 billion?

    Nice pinpoint accurate forecasting there 14 - 30 billion. It'll cost that much just because of how inept the government is. It took us a year and a half to get a birth certificate from Wayne county---because they couln't wrap their heads around the fact that he wasn't born in a hospital...

    scoring brownie points in michigan

    People - all legal considerations aside, there was URINE on the seat! As somebody else mentioned, who knows what else you'd encounter there (needle stick,etc). I'd avoid just leaving empty beer cans rolling around on the floorboards---seems like asking for trouble. Ours always end up in...

    Isn't it kind of Ironic?

    Maybe they're just worried that if they make it easier to get out of Michigan, folks won't come back.
