RE: haulen My Pet Moose

Hey any one seen My Pet Moose? I went runnning tonight while in

Ripon CA while staying at the Flying J. I spotted a big German

Shepard on the back side of the Road running adjacent to the Flying J

He came out and greeted me. He hadn't seem my Pet Moose neither,

While on my way to shower I got a call, and I Said no to BBBG on a

BLD.

I asked if he had herd any news on my Pet Moose and he said he hadnt.

Well I hopen he shows back up so to help in the matter Ive tied some

carrots together and hung them on the Trailers back door.

I hope to catch him in my Special Moose Trap I made.

Its 1250 now I think Ill go Check my Trap in about an hour as

about 2ish was alaways his snack time. As he always kept me company

when I drove at night.

Wish me luck I hope he finds his way back.

Marvin,

How long were you in the service of Uncle Sam?? Marine Corp. I believe you said. I just want to say that I think you gave a LOT to the Corp. and I don't think you will ever get it back.

Bless you,
Danny

Don't feel bad. I am not old and I swear everytime I cross back into the US and the agent asks where I picked up and what am I hauling I look like a deer in the headlights.

I read this post the other day, but yesterday at a consignee in Elizabethtown, KY I thought of it again.

I pull into an auto glass company. Inside receiving and everywhere else in the facility for that matter are hundreds of steel racks with automotive glass stacked in them. I back my cargo van up to the overhead door and Joe Bob, maybe it was Ricky Bobby drives up on his forklift. My back doors are open clearly displaying the exact same type of rack that this guy stares at all day long holding automotive glass that he moves around on his forklift all day long.

He actually asked me "Whatcha got?"

"Auto glass" was my answer.

Ok, I still had not pulled out my "Here's your sign" sign yet so he could hold it up and everyone would know he is an idiot without having to waste time finding out...So, he fires out the next question.

"Where's it go?"

I think I just walked away at that point.

From now when a receiver asks what I have I am going to say "TV Dinners." I can't think of anything more idiotic to reply with. Then, if they still ask me where they go, I can tell them "the freezer, or they will melt."

The next worst thing is when you are at a shipper and you tell them you are picking up and they ask you "Have any paperwork?" because they aren't sure what freight is yours. Shortly following is the question "What are you picking up?" I reply with the piece count and the weight and they say "No, what are you picking up?"

Aren't they the ones who manufacture or warehouse the goods. Holy cow!!
