    How foolish some members are....

    I'm sorry Phil but I gotta thank you for the chuckle of the day! Being a "hero" in this business is not about how much your truck (or mine) is out of service and meeting "Four Star" criteria. Its about getting much needed Tamaflu delivered in record time during a flu epidemic, or that...

    How foolish some members are....

    Steve, they say things happen in threes! What next? That really sucks especially since it wasn't long ago on the other repair. Hope she wasn't having phone sex when she hit you. Not the climax she was hoping for! :p

    How foolish some members are....

    Ours is both, including lawn chairs and a dog! ;) We do use our tractor as our RV when we are OOS and even when we are availible. Seriously speaking, our carrier is considering more leases based on increased freight availibilty, not OOS trucks. They are extremely careful so as not to lease on...

    Property Free No More

    ATeam's approach on this purchase is interesting and even makes since. When making this kind of purchase I believe you have to be able to look it exactly as ATeam does, especially when its not your primary residence. We've actually discussed when we no longer have the need to keep our Florida...

    Property Free No More

    From would have sold for 100K to sold for 40K in a two year period would equal a 60K decrease in value of the home over that two year period. Interestingly enough, although home values in our area of FL (including ours) did take a hit during these hard economic times, we've not seen the 50-60%...

    Fed dropping its standards?

    As we speak, the engineers are designing a mist system (after they're done inspecting the Florida mobile home). This will come complete with a water bottle that attaches to your belt, connected to a mist nozzle with a tube that will be placed behind the plastic propeller. This will be great...

    Fed dropping its standards?

    So, if one were to shave or trim the pits, would that change the game plan? Come on, I'm sure somebody out there does! :D

    Fed dropping its standards?

    I could'nt agree with you more and everything quoted above applies to us also, well most. We to have become more image conscious when it comes to serving our customers. Recently we had custom tee shirts made with our logo on the front pocket and an airplane with the words "We Love Airplanes"...

    Construction Zone Vigilante

    In the name of safety, I think its time to take back the construction zones along our highways from those whom choose to ignore the law by speeding and driving carelessly through them. Not only are they endangering the workers, they also are putting themselves and those driving around them at...

    ATeam's Florida Investment

    Shame on those engineers for not telling him about the hurricane proof, precast concrete manufactured homes currently being built by a company in Broward County, FL. Looked at them myself out of couriousity and they're really decent looking homes but a bit costly.

    Unlike many unsuspecting buyers, I'm sure Phil has had a wealth of knowledge in his friend Glen.

    ATeam's Florida Investment

    Mind you, not that I make it a habit of reading Phil's blog page (LOL), I did read his entries for 5/20-5/22. I did so to see how the closing on their Florida home had gone. According to his blog, it did not go for reasons stated in his blog. Being born and raised in Florida and living there...

    Fed dropping its standards?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but based on what we have been seeing lately, is the Fed dropping its standards regarding the trucks its willing to lease on? Now first let me say that it is now two years since we left the Fed for greener pastures. During the five years we were leased on to the Fed...

    Property Free No More

    Two successful people? LOL There are many more successful expediters besides Dave and the ATeam that live in the same state (FL), like my wife and myself. We are so succesful that we even own the land under our house. LOL Plus our house is made of bricks instead of sticks! Hope you got good...

    RV'ers and those with porta potties

    Darn! My holding tank is to big to drag into the J's bathroom. Tried it once and it wasn't pretty. So much, to fast, hard to control once it started comming out. What a mess! Guess you could really tell me that I'm full of crap, and get away with it! LOL

    Cruise Control in a Construction Zone

    Thats why I just posted what I did. We can clean it up and make it fun like it was years ago. You just have to want to do it. I'm willing to be one of those takers, but won 't be the only one! I do have to wonder who the winer was that got the other post locked. I was just getting started...
