    Another year for Favre

    Could he be hanging on a bit too long? It's hard to see one of the greats struggle, even if it's not all his fault. Watching Arnold Palmer in his last few years on the Seniors Tour was tough. It wasn't fun watching the King shoot in the 80's.

    Driving in snow tips

    RE: Drive Gently RE: Driving in snow tips The only experience I have had in this sort of thing was a hydroplaning situation. I steered in the direction the rear end was going and pulled out of it. A change of clothing was in order when all was said and done.

    CEO of FEDCC

    Good idea. I wonder if Jeff would interview himself?

    The late Anna Nicole Smith

    I was shocked. She sure looked healthy to me.

    Driving in snow tips

    Steer in the direction the rear end is coming from? What if that points you to a ditch? Steer in the direction you want the vehicle to go.

    BroomPilot...Camera System Question.

    I agree with your outlook on this Broom. I haven't darkened the door of the Ford dealer in my town since '01. The value of the issue was $140. I was clearly right and some said I should have pushed the issue. I argued the situation with the owner and he apparently felt $140 was more important to...

    Hard to believe

    Not all have the same procedure, but most of the time you'll pick up the phone by the pumps, answer the questions they ask, and then begin transferring the liquid gold into your tanks. Or, did you need to know how to get the caps off?:+ :P :+

    Back Office Support ???????

    I agree. He should definately knock on wood. Customs officers don't make their own rules, although their training is not always as current as it should be. The mt manifest thing is being phased in, it's not required at all crossings yet. Also, customs doesn't fax things to the broker. The...

    Site Outage

    I noticed we dropped to 1 active member. I guess we've become assimilated, like the Borg in Star Trek.

    Leaving expediting

    Panther_Art, I'm just wondering how long the terms are of these payments. $900 dollars by itself is high, unless the owner took a shorter term on the loan. Does the $1000 go toward the equity the owner has in the van? If the result of this arrangement is that you have a paid off, late model van...

    I'm in Heaven!

    Some, when talking about what a load pays, will talk about what the company makes, not their cut. The Roaring Express guys in Canada do this a lot. I thought they made great money until I found out what they were talking about. Their dispatch did it that way and it was up to them to figure their...

    I Shouldn't be Alive

    This reminds me of a couple that sat down next to me in the TV room at the Indy J a few years back. They had a newborn whose age would still easily be measured in weeks. They were hauling the kid around in the truck with them. But that's not the worst part. It was football playoffs and the room...

    FedEX C.C vs White glove.

    Nightcreacher, I second that roflmao and move that we send it to the floor for a vote.

    Back Office Support ???????

    I think some multi-tasking would probably occur in the interest of keeping everyone busy and helping things run smoothly in general. But, people with the primary task of border issues absolutely makes sense. I only had a very small handful of problems crossing, but, when I did, guess who I...

    Visteon to close Connersville, IN plant Sept 1

    Good point Dog House. The Big 3(yes Greg, I know, but for all practical purposes...)were fat and happy. When the tide began shifting they laid a guilt trip on us(Buy American! Your neighbor depends on you!)instead of getting busy. Now, the Japanese Big 3 are building plants here and turning out...

    Visteon to close Connersville, IN plant Sept 1

    Greg, have you heard about Fords solution to their problems. It can't miss! Change the name of the 500 to Taurus!! Problem solved, everyone back to their work stations.

    Getting perscription on the road

    I do the same as Terry does, only with Walgreens. They're all over the place and some states are even putting them on exit signs. Just hand them your bottles and your out in minutes. If you take Crestor and you get to the Mexican border, it's worth the walk across. About a third of the price.

    Time to clean up NASA

    Somebody in a "high achiever" position going off the deep end is nothing new. I think you could have all kinds of checks and balances in place and still have the possibility of this happening. It would be nice to get more bang for the buck from NASA. Privatize?
