Looking good eb! What became of that beautiful coral colored recliner? Was it upholstered in genuine Naugahyde™???

As an O/O I like to stay under the radar. The less carrier recognition I receive, the better. I just do what I do. An increase in RPM would be a nice form of recognition though! Early in my expedite career I won the coveted PBO Of The Month Award. Hey, I was a newbie and learning the...

Okay, I got that part. Are you actually signing a lease with another carrier and running under their authority for these loads?

Yeah, until he made me chauffeur him from his truck up the hill to the truck stop. I shuttled Cheri and Bryan between her truck and the main building a few years ago. I'm running a cargo van, not a limo service. Lazyass truck drivers!

I'm still confused. Why do you trip lease?

I agree and since deregulation I can't think of a reason for someone to trip lease. Prior to deregulation I drove for a small company that had limited authority, they could only haul paper products. If they couldn't find a backhaul that was paper related, I would trip lease to a 48 state...

Coffeyville (like the drink, only spelled different) Kansas for an A.M. delivery. Had a nice visit with Highway Star in Des Moines this afternoon.

Most careers offer some type of side benefit. One could: Join the Navy and see the world. Enter politics, lie and get paid for it. Become a gynecologist, practice medicine and meet women. Buy a van, become an expediter and tick people off.

Don't ask me. I'm not from Hibbing.

Maybe I should rethink my paperless society comment.

I'm going with the computer. The computer allowed us to become a paperless society. Now that we don't use paper, we have more trees to carry about. How "green" is that. Does the Pope scratch his back in the woods?

Often when picking up at LTL terminals the carrier will only offer their delivery receipt for you to sign. I always ask for a copy of the original shipping order whether the freight is damaged or not. I have the consignee sign the carrier's D.R., my carrier's D.R. and the COSO! Airfreight...

Pictures are great. Make sure you also have written documentation of all damages.

CC, if you properly noted the damage on the BOL at the point you received it and had the shipper sign off on the exception you should have no problem. Proper documentation of damage will show the origin carrier responsible and all claims would be against that carrier, not the interline carrier.

FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN" FROM CHINA . Mandarin Oranges from China? Who'd have thunk? Glenfiddich Scotch from Scotland? Say it aint so. Once upon a time Minnesota had a Governor, often referred to as Governor Goofy. No, not the...

Moron with a moran sign.

Yesterday I had the front coil springs replaced, 4 new shocks and new front wheel bearings. With the new springs there is about ½" clearance between the A-arm and the stop block. Currently sitting at the tire shop getting the front end aligned.

Also, Peter Sellers as Chance The Gardener in the movie "Being There."

This is what I was trying to convey. Like you stated: "One of the greatest challenges of a manager is picking a staff, then allowing them to do their jobs."
