Juju must have shaken the rugs too hard; I slid off the road at the Brandon exit (406) on 90. Killed three delineators, a mirror head and the passenger side window. Tomorrow morning, I'll have to swap out the load, then get the window fixed by Safelite and jerry rig a mirror. Just thankful to God that my wife wasn't injured! Now in a room in Sioux Falls.
Sux, sorry for you. I have an orange barrel trophy on my right front fender, plus I am considered an expert in shopping for window glass!

Unloaded at 7:30 in So Boston. 5 minutes later he got me moving again. Mrs. Worn Out must be paying him. That's the second time this week I was about to crawl back under the covers with her and Murray calls??

They probably shipped those expedite so they would arrive undamaged. Imagine what those would look like after going through the LTL mill.

Every time I pick up a load from UPS, the cone on top of the crate that says (do not double stack) is always crushed! Those LTL forklift drivers are like Nascar drivers on steroids!

Yeah, there is no "do not stack" in LTL. It's all stacked. Closest thing you get is "top freight only". No matter how many of those cute little cardboard cones you use!

There was an Old Dominion truck and an ABF truck on site....so they do ship LTL....and seem not to have a problem which goes against what you guys are saying...Money still talks...

I can take enough pain killers to knock a regular person on their ass and it has little to no affect on my ability to function completely sober. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing!

Today I'm trying out Lidocaine patches. They cost 17 dollars for two of them. You put them on the painful areas. I would probably need about four of them per day to even be somewhat effective. That would be 40 bucks per day. I don't think these things are going to be any good. On Friday I pick up my Lyrica (a non-narcotic pain medication) and see how well that works. There seems to be no magic pill to fix pain; and anything I take that is stronger than Vicodin makes me extremely sick. I hope I never need the heavier stuff, because I hate it.
