All we need is the bolt guy in your van and everything will be new. :D

Yes driver in the roll over was shaken up but not hurt. I can't say the same for the truck and the trailer :(

It is a really good example of how not to take things for granted in this business or to get into a groove. Great driver who ran thru that interchange 4 times a day 5 days a week.

Used to drive a straight on dedicated runs...owners would rotate us every month or so....
with familiarity comes complacency....not only that we'd get to know each others runs in case someone was off or emergency came up...

35000 feet looking for a gravel pile. Touchdown DTW 2.5 hours.

Qualcomm management conference was really good. Good speakers and topics. Got to spend some time with my peers and associates from Panther, Fed CC and E1. Lot of good stuff for me to digest. These type conferences are kind of like me going back to school. Helps me to keep innovating.

The strength of the US dollar is really hurting Canadian exports. That is for sure.

Good deal. Congrats on the graduation. Seems like a bunch of you (shadow, you, xiggi) must have been the summer of love.

One thing about our group... Even tho we have differing opinions at times... We still end up at Isis and all getting along.....:D

Cuz I luv ya man!

Ahem....lol. Well, things change quick...great week interrupted... my older sister fell and busted her shoulder up pretty good. Squad took her to hospital, shes been admitted...Looking at surgery, rehab, etc. Was already on a walker. Heading up to be with her. Pretty freaked out...she has a lot of health issues and scared of losing what mobility she has.

Hey now can't be "forced" into a nice load :D

But on the other hand I have been "forced" into having a few good weeks the past 30 days. Probably best I ever had during my short expedite career which I need when being very close to becoming an owner op. I need every dime I can get lol

Sorry to hear that Dale. Tough when those kind of things happen in a family.

Not sure yet. I wanna go new but I wanna wait till the new transit comes out and maybe wait a couple years to buy new so maybe looking to go used. I'm thinking first gen sprinter but haven't pin pointed any particular van yet.



Dale hope she she gets well soon
