    Things we thought everyone knew

    We bought the Silverstars and loved them. 3 weeks after we installed them, they both failed at the same time. It was 10 degrees and wind howling outside. :mad: We didn't think about them having a warranty, so after an extreme amount of cussing from my frozen husband, they were tossed. We might...

    Laundry

    I use the zipcode and Google satellite imaging to see what's around. We've found quite a few places that way, including shippers and receivers. It's nice to be able to see whether there is parking or not.

    How did you quit?

    Now that the taxes on cigarettes have climbed into the stratosphere I am again thinking about quitting. I have tried in the past, the longest time being 4 weeks, and just didn't have enough willpower to stay off them. I keep thinking about the taxes and it irritates me to no end that the...

    We use the CB mostly at night. Some of the best conversations can be had once the "solar powered trucks" are off the air. ;)

    Where are we? April 1st

    Petro-Portage, WI April, 1 2009 we've had 3 load offers today. All reduced rate loads, and the last one took the cake. It would have paid .77 for all miles. Someone took it, but we sure can't and stay in business for long. :(

    Expediters, cut above the rest

    Scuba that's a terrible generalization! Company drivers can be just as professional as the O/O, or be just as bad as the O/O. The behavior you have described has been seen in all aspects of this industry including Expediters. I think that it comes down to accountability. It seems that the...

    Borders

    Personally, I'd rather not cross either border. Make Detroit the new Laredo, create a market on all the borders for cross docking. Just call me a "home body" ;)

    My previous comment "easy targets?" was just a joke, but I do see what Turtle is talking about. If you think back to TV, what started the whole "men are inept" thing was having to do with those stay at home dad's that couldn't change a diaper, run a vacuum, wash clothes etc. Women were...
