The same number of cars will be built after these plants close. There will be plants that are now running 2 shifts that will go to 3 to compensate. So should'nt that mean parts will still be needed? As Friscomike says, they are in a mess. One of their own making. The Big 3 made their bed when...

Better than sex? Dude... Your boys put on quite a show last night. If it was played today it would be hard to bet against them. But 2 weeks break and the neutral field should be the great equalizer.

Don't forget the cabover Mack. Did you see King Kong yet? That monkey ROCKS!

The wheels on The Bus go round and round...

I'd like to see the Steelers take it. Cowher deserves it, and how can anyone not like The Bus?

The median is wide and wooded from around the 23mm south to about the 12. There's a herd living in there and the authorities can't decide what to do about it. There was talk of bringing in sharp shooters but it would be too dangerous.

Excellant reply Ateam. I would suspect that some of the people who were willing to get home at any cost may have modified their outlook as the price of fuel has gone up. Broompiolt, you've made it clear that you miss your family when you're out. As someone who has been there when my kids were...

I could'nt agree more, Rich. I saw this as more of a general lifestyle kind of thing instead of focusing on one issue. For sure, the more I read about fleet owner issues I'm glad I did'nt go with the seemingly common advice of starting out with a fleet owner. When it goes well it seems to be a...

I looked at them in my recent job change. Adam called me at a bad time and said he would e-mail me some info. It never came. I called and talked to the other guy and he said it would be there that day. Never came.

HondaKing, I can assure you that most people don't have the cavalier attitude about bankruptcy that you seem to have. While there is a lot to be said for the enthusiasm and fresh outlook of someone taking on a new challenge, I would prefer my advice from a grizzled veteren. Take my advice from...

Good point on the CB. I am one that has mine off the vast majority of the time. The example you gave in the "tired of it" thread is a good, if not tame, example of the bovine excrement that exists on the airwaves. On the subject of stopping for someone on the road, I need to see someone...

What you're talking about is an NLM thing. I think that different companies have different arrangments as too window time rules. At Thompson we went through a few sets of rules until we got to where we could just call in our arrival and go in. There are a few plants that are strict with window...

The walkie-talkie is a little bit quicker. If they want to bid on something, they scroll to my name and push the button. Then I can tell them, "Of course! Puh-leeze, I want to work, not just sit here!" It's good for unlimited use too. I have several friends on it and I have racked up over 30...

Thanks Lawrence, those are the answers I expected. The negative points over a disagreement made me think of my ex-father-in-law. Whenever we had a disagreement there was always something wrong with me for not thinking like him. I know... I should have gone along to get along. But sometimes...

My company requires Nextel. The trade-off is no Qualcomm, a wortwhile trade in my opinion. I'm going to go against the grain and say that I'm pleased with them. It's not perfect, but none of them are. I'm considering a second phone so the "Bat Phone" can stay free for work. My short list right...

Cingular is also advertising push to talk.

I have a couple of questions on how ratings work. First, should'nt people not be able to give themselves points? Second, is it fair that someone would recieve negative points because of a simple difference of opinion. Apparently Teacel got negative points because he did'nt agree with someone on...

If the van is equipped with signs, he may have a problem. It is unfair that someone can park their high-top conversion van without a problem, but someone with company signage would have a problem. I know a guy who lives in a condo that had magnets made up to cover his signs. If they hassle you...

Our contracts "continually renew". It saves them from having to assemble a new one for everyone every year, or whatever the time period. It also allows them to easily make changes like this at will.

Spontanius(sp?) Pringle Combustion? I think Art Bell wants to talk to you about an appearence on his show.
