    a bad and costly trend....Detention time

    "Would it not be smart on the carriers part to throw the driver some extra out of pocket rather than lose that customer?" The same can be said about not losing a a quality contractor. Showing that a contractor's time is worth something is just as important, assuming a carrier it able to think...

    a bad and costly trend....Detention time

    Unfortunately, for many of us, pork bellies may be a far too accurate description. We are worth very little to carriers. Just about any warm, semi-intelligent butt, is all they are looking for. Fair equipment is good enough. They believe that there is an acceptable level of failure and that...

    a bad and costly trend....Detention time

    You know the "Primary Rules of Expediting". Those rules have been in place since day one and will ALWAYS be in place. RULE ONE: If the carrier makes a mistake, it's your fault and you have to pay for it. RULE TWO: If the shipper or consignee makes a mistake, it's your fault and you have...

    NO more worry about my dad falling down the stairs. Right now he is CRAWLING on all fours to go up and down to do his laundry. He will NOT put something like this on his own. We had to invent a fictional story about how it was being paid for, he is one stubborn old cuss to say the least, but it...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    I don't know enough about history to know the "journey" that the documents have taken over the years. I have seen, copies, of many documents, and with the help of a German linguist, was able to hear just a little of what happened, that was enough to make one sick. I really do believe such a...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    They were "FINALLY" made fully public, by the German government in 2006-7 time frame. You are MORE than welcome to go over and examine them. My nephew did, he is still in Germany. He said that visit was one of the most profound moments in his life. Which is saying something, since he is a...

    What would war with Russia look like?

    The figures keep changing until we finally arrived at 6 million? 6 million is NOT the number that was finally arrived at. That number is the number of Jews that were killed. You need to double that number to include all that were killed. All of those deaths were recorded.

    What would war with Russia look like?

    13 MILLION by the Nazi's. MOST were not convicted criminals. Most were gay, gypsies, Catholics, Jews, mentally retarded and handicapped. IF I remember my history correctly Hitler used the guillotine primarily for political prisoners.

    From the same source: "In 1933, Adolf Hitler had a guillotine constructed and tested. He was impressed enough to order 20 more constructed and pressed into immediate service.[5][unreliable source?] Nazi records indicate that between 1933 and 1945, 16,500 people were executed by guillotine in...

    Should stay in Michigan to fish, record in Michigan for steelhead (rainbow trout) is 26LB 8OZ. MORE real science, there are NOT members of the trout family that are native to Michigan.
