    A family on the road

    Mike, We have very good freinds from the east side of Tennessee where this happened (I was passing through their town and stopped at the Wal-Mart) and they are flooded by Mexicians. So it is not a slam on the people of Tennessee or Mexicians who immigrated here legally but the people who have...

    Seal on truck

    I agree that documenting everything is a given but when you have a delivery where the people on the dock refuse to cut the thing, note it on the BOL. Many times I have had to deal with that situation, no one is willing to get off the dock to go to my truck to cut the thing so I can pull into the...

    A family on the road

    I am parked in Wyoming just resting at one of those road side stops and a Swift truck pulls up behind me. They all unloaded, about 8 of them, 2 adults and 6 kids. I can not understand why anyone would have 6 kids with them on the road like that. A couple of the older ones climbed over the...

    Seal on truck

    After a lot of sealed loads, I got into the habit when I am get to the delivery to ask them for a dock number and if they want to break the seal themselves or have me do it while they watch. Only once they watched and once they did it themselves, all the other times the didn't care.

    This Worked For Me, Again.

    theoldprof, After I did that and was about 50 miles down the road, I realized you might be made at me to take the liberty in editing it. Glad you're not, no problem editing it. It is good stuff by the way.

    The Prime Directive.

    OVM, Have you ever read the prime directive? If you are a true trekie (treky) you would have read it in it's true form, not the b*stardized version from the modren trekie (treky). Got to learn about it. Although you do have a point, but I don't know about the outlaw of horse meat. I mean...

    This Worked For Me, Again.

    Edited for effect - "I am a retired van expediter O/O. Although I was never a top money maker, I tried to keep my operation as efficient as possible. Here are some ideas you may or may not want to use. Starting with the outside of the van I had spare light bulbs and the tools I needed to...

    Moderation

    I somewhat agree with Terry but I must add that this is a community, albeit a virtual community, it is a community. Within all communities, there are some who can’t say much without being called on it or trashed. With All communities there are all types of personalities and egos that sometimes...

    24th CHILD killed in Chicago public schools!!!

    OVM, What’s your point? We always have had a problem in schools, not until we get our society straight will we reduce these types of killings. Honestly since the victimization of our society and the screwed up education system where we must teach feelings instead of tangible knowledge, we...

    Democrats Hide Pet Projects From Voters

    Brenda, I understand what you are saying but you have fallen into the trap that many want all of us to fall into and it is a trap about class warfare. I think that you need to understand that thinking this way holds you and I back from true success. I mean that today we as a society want to...

    US opening our borders to Mexican truckers

    yes it would effect all of us, just like the expansion of the H-1b visa hurt IT or the tax loopholes that were put in the tax codes in the 90's that allowed expanding outsourcing off shore, all of it hurt. It is not shame on the administration; it is shame on us for allowing it to happen...

    Judge suing dry cleaner cries over pants

    OK this is a frivolous lawsuit and I thought that we had laws on the books to punish people who brought these stupid lawsuits up? My opinion is that this judge should be disbarred and his lawyer brought up on misconduct charges. The judge presiding over the case should have stopped it when it...

    "For my next eating adventure I want to find Paula Deans Restaurant in Savannah Ga, I have a feeling I am gonna drop a load of cash on that girl..." Been there, done that and very disappointed with the experience, just like my trip to Nathan’s – it was not worth the trip. I felt sort of...

    Here is why we need to clean up NASA

    Reading this article, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070612/ap_on_re_us/hurricane_satellite it just p*ssed me off. We can send our space shuttle up to the ISS to bring up more junk to spend more of our tax money but we can’t repair a sorely needed satellite that could be used to save lives?
