April Fools & Showers

jelliott · Apr 23, 2014

I am with you 110%. Things really seemed to have calmed down from first quarter. Amazing the shift in a few short weeks. One of the really challenging parts of this business. We are doing all we can do to fight the slowdown but only so much control is in our hands. It is tough on everyone when it slows down. From our side we work harder to secure freight and move trucks. At the same time expense for things like layover go way up at the same time out revenue is decreasing. Joys of this business for everyone.

Off to get my Big Boy Decals. Dang, now I'm in a higher tax bracket...

It took 9 months for me to decide if I was staying or not.... lol

Seem like every time I come to The Yard, John leaves.

Not just leaves, but gets on a plane and leaves.

I 'm sensing a pattern here.

While I do sleep a lot, and it often appears like I am in there sleeping, more likely I'm just nekkid in there.

Notice the primo parking spot? Best place on the lot to get a good satellite TV signal.

Never can trust the mac 19 around Detroit. Too many local only units and Canadian units that make the numbers distorted. But I know we do have a number of units up here.

Turtle · Apr 24, 2014

You know what else is distorted around Detroit? The temperatures. Holy crap it's cold up here!

Then again, this Sunday in Laredo - 105°F, this Sunday in Detroit - 54°F,
so there is that.
