Any of you folks stuck down in FL right now with the storm coming in?

Fortunately we are not even though we live there. We have family there but all are use to it, being longtime Floridians! Ya just hunker down and hang on for the ride!!!

Much of our freight comes out of Miami International Airport so several of the trucks leased to the same carrier as us are there now. We have riden out hurricanes (95 mph winds) in our T/T and straight truck in the past. We just nose her up into the wind, dolly down for stability, and hang on cause it can be a pretty exciting ride!!!

Hope no one gets hurt or has property damage.

AND, I hope it's nowhere near Bristol TN Friday or Saturday!!!

If it gets to Tennessee, it will be there by Thursday. By then it should just be a bunch of rain without the winds.

It's my twice yearly "redneck sabbatical".

Gotta get a re-charge now and again!!! What better way to do it than with 165,000 others who share my "religion".

I don't exactly worship at that 'temple', but I sure do like the 'revs'!
