LMAO....had to tell eh?...

When I was in Bluffton Ind. I lifted the generator in a Walmart parking lot...there was this little lizard or salamander curled up trying to get some heat....I've had it now traveling with me.... so I kinda picked up a lot lizard....:p

I named him John Jr in honour of our leader.....as the lizard has struggled to survive adversity....I named him before, all this happened kind of weird considering all that has been said the last couple days....

When I get to warmer weather in NC I will free him.....:D

Wait - what? You kidnapped a lot lizard?!

Thanks for that - I really needed a laugh, and that just cracked me up.

Sure hope the freight gods take as good care of John Sr - it's been pretty tough out here lately, and I'm sure he's feeling the strain too. :(

You kidnapped a poor defenseless lizard in IN and are transporting him across state lines to NC? What does he know about NC?

Let's see, what did I do with that number for the FBI.........

Just got home. Weather is ok in Baltimore. Hit some pretty good snow in the upper elevations of PA.

Perhaps some have misinterpreted what I said or I didn't make myself clear. Load count and money is not the issue of those that have contacted me nor is it my issue.

Trust and respect is a two way street. I'll not get into specifics with any of you. I was told stuff in confidence, that's where it will stay.
I never said the company was a bad company because it is not. There are issues that myself and others are concerned about and that's it.
Like I said, if you haven't been affected, then you don't know what's going on.

Right now the only 2 decisions I need to make is can I get 3 weeks of work and planning done in ten days on the boat for my wife and I to take her to Georgetown Bahamas for the winter and Christmas holidays to join hundreds of other cruisers and friends.

The other question is do I want to sip on some 35 year old scotch or drink cold cold beer!

You all be safe and have fun.

word of advice to all who have not learned one important lesson about expediting. learn to set, its going to happen. sometimes more than we like. no one can control freight volumes. those of you that cant are going to have a rough time of it.

Yep..one can have all the charts and graphs. projections in the world...and expediting will humble them all...it all comes down to your gut feeling and a bit of luck..when that shipper picks up the phone...you'd best be in the right location....now finding that location, is another story....LOL

yep like i posted in the " our company " thread. expediting is just another form of legalized gambling. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. the important thing is to always make sure you keep what you originally invested.

setting here in columbus, oh hopefully we can get something still over the weekend. even a shorty to the yard would be ok, need to get by there anyways. we also need to get full fledged L1. the 90 days are up.
