In the crazy world of freight, Texas has been a good spot this week.

I noticed...weird and at pretty good rates as well....

Good states have been harder than Texas this week. It really just proves the point that you can not plan that well and it is just better to roll with it sometimes. A good decision one week is a bad move the next week. Just one of the many joys of the expedite industry.

Is there any local gyms in the area john ? Instead of making room go talk to them to see about getting a good company discount ?

Probably be cheaper then putting one in....and maintaining it and the liability factor...one that will allow straights to park

True. Really didn't think about that.

Finding one with parking is the tougher part. I will check into that, but to enroll the whole company might get expensive really fast even with a discount.

AND we'd be a good corporate neighbour by supporting local business!!

You won;t know until you talk to them....just a basic membership.....they'll probably want to know or have an estimate what the person traffic would be and come up with a price...

Yea you could have people sign up for it get a general idea to see if anyone is interested and move from there. I don't work out anymore damaged my right hand a little bit lifting weights by myself like a dummy and the bar pinched my hand and sliced my middle knuckle almost inside out. Can't grip things as like I use to and can't snap my fingers haha

True, I just think it would get way more use if it was on site. Out of site, out of mind kind of thing. A lot of staff would use it on lunch.

Gonna lose wifi, talk to you all later.

Well I guess about Texas. No, didn't take long to get one but I don't know about what you said. But they did make it better. Wouldt usually turn the key, if ya know what I mean, but they tried hard as always and that's what counts. No take it or leave it here.

ChrisGa23 · Feb 9, 2012

Your probably right john just for The simple factor of it would be alot more convient to alot of people

Those situations arise...and it is all up to your good judgement.....the fact ya did not waste a lot of time is worth something...

Sure gets quiet in here when the boss loses wifi! Having a little breakfast here and then off to do my walking!

The problem I see with an exercise room is that there is only 1 shower at the yard (which is sufficient right now).
I also didn't think drivers would use it much. Sad but true.

I need to someday get some treadmills at work for everyone. I think it would be a great addition to put in a small work out area for the staff and drivers.

I think staff would really benefit. It gets my vote. I can always drag a pallet the length of my van if I get restless. It's harder to do that in an office.
