    Tornados

    I'm doing DoorDash, and I went over to Paducah to do it today. After touring Mayfield, my very first delivery was to the hospital. Someone had ordered food for the lady I delivered to. She was there visiting her husband, who had been transferred from the Murray hospital to Paducah just this...

    Tornados

    This morning I went to Paducah and drove through Mayfield to get there. I got to the bypass on the east side of town and everything looked normal. So I decided to go on ahead through town. In the south east side heading in, Restaurant Row where Walmart and Kroger is, everything was fine. No...

    Amazingly, power to Murray and Benton was restored mid afternoon on Sunday. Like 36 hours after it went out. I'm stunned that those transmission line towers didn't take a week.

    Tornados

    It's likely the worst tornado strike ever in Kentucky. For those who remember it, it's Joplin-level bad. Mayfield is only about 10,000 people, though. The TVA transmission lines got damaged. 60 of them in KY and TN. The TVA Kentucky Lake area dams, KY Dam, Barkley Dam, Pickwick Dam, is where we...

    Thank you. I'm fine. It slammed Mayfield, which is 20 minutes west of Murray. I've got family in Mayfield and they're all fine and accounted for.

    Dood, I'm not calling you out for driving Uber. I'm calling you out because I'm hella impressed you have the stones to drive around NYC all day. I've been doing DoorDash for like 3 months. I expedited 17 years. So it's not like DoorDash is the only thing I know. How would you know? You don't...

    Big Truck Insurance new authority NY

    As of a few months ago I retired from expediting. I started in 2004 and then got the Sprinter in 2006. Back in May or June someone ran me off the Interstate in Michigan and totalled the van. With 930,000 miles on it, a flat tire would total it. But it was still running good until the accident...

    That's exactly it. :p Driving around NYC, on purpose. Every day. OMG. It almost takes someone who was born and raised in NYC to do that. I lived in Central Jersey for a while and got into Manhattan often, but more often than not it was on the train or on a bus. And expediting I've...

    Best way to grow the company is to either have a stable of reputable brokers who can feed you freight, or lease on with a good carrier.

    It's Called Self Defense.

    You quoted me and now you're using the word "you" a lot, so it sure seems like you're addressing me personally instead of what I wrote. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that's probably a mistake. Inching out further, oh, it's definitely a mistake. Yes, you have mentioned it here numerous...

    "Non sequitur" is French for "off-topic personal attack." If y'all can't figure out how to discuss the issues at hand, reply to the post and not the poster, imma lock this thread. The Rittenhouse trial is over. Verdicts were rendered. For that reason alone this thread should be a ghost town...

    Rittenhouse had precisely as much right to be there on that date and time as anyone else. What you or anyone else thinks of his motivations or reasons for being there is wholly irrelevant. A jury of his peers after examination of all the evidence found him not guilty on all charges. There's...

    Same here, as well as the legit oil experts at Bob is the Oil Guy It's a web forum, so it's full of goobers like all web forums, but they also have the actual engineers who design and build these engines and spec the oil, and the engineers and scientists who make the oil. They all say the same...

    In our neighborhood, the trash truck comes about 7 AM. If we miss it, the truck comes back down the other side of the street at 1:30 PM.

    Rittenhouse did say he wanted to move someplace else and lay low for a while. He named a city in Florida that he's always wanted to live in, but I can't remember it. But I don't know if he'll go there now.
