Yes the detention pay does offset, but you have to get it, which I did. Since I haven't done a trade show before, there are extras to consider like they reguire me to have a scale ticket and to get one there I had to enter their pay parking lot ($21.00) then scale going in and out (10.00)...ouch! If you do these shows regularly you know this, I didn't but sure learned fast....:rolleyes:

Call Joe Braum and let him know this. He can advise the customer of the additional charges and we will reimburse you for them. They are a good house customer so I don't think they will have an issue.

mc cormick is a little more of a pain than most. most have scales on the dock or in the warehouse and weigh the skids as they stage them. union labor, they get paid by the pound.

Prayer really helps not only in good times, but bad times as well.

I'll let the pressure build up for this guy for awile...it may be comical..lol...sometimes prayer may be all one has to turn to..but, isn't it something when a tragedy occurs in ones life they most likely turn to prayer? But when things resume back to normal that is forgotten?

I hate to do it, but I'm thinkin a Monday dh to Taylor might be in order! Seems to be where people are getting out of more! I've always tried not to join the 'crowd' there, but I need to drop off some paperwork, get another scanner (yup), and see Laura anyway.

Ro Ro Ro-a-noke, waiting for a load.... Had 4 nice strikes yesterday since I got here but couldn't set the hook. My first teaser load for the year, a trip to Las Vegas Oh how I wanted that one :cool: Then a consolation trip to the yard. But here I sit re-baiting the hook :)
