Thanks John

Boy can my politician sister work a room...wow..I am impressed. Local pancake supper at the local phone company and I'm pretty sure there was only one fellow that was a die hard liberal that wouldn't vote for her...and we had supper with him...*LOL*

And here I was contemplating on moving up to the yard just to bump you back one spot...So, since that won't happen now, I'll just wait here at the house where I am #1 in Cleveland.
have you considered the luck of the people in Arlington?
I think that as long as there is some apologetic gesture made, we should be ok
Funny guys...lol
In Simpsonville, KY at the moment. After not getting the QC updated over the weekend I loaded out of Detroit Sunday night. On the way to the delivery Monday morning, at 0900 Matt calls me up out of the blue and says he can do the update while I'm driving, over the air. Took about an hour to complete. Easy peasy no fuss no muss.
Took me about five minutes to figure out the Workflow process, as it's kinda clunky and not very intuitive. Needs a couple of interface improvements to reduce the number of clicks and pages, ease of navigation. And the "trip notes" that can be readily seen on Fleetvision needs to be added to the QC in either the Details or Info page. But overall it's a very good improvement.
Out of the blue, I tell ya.
P.S. I really like the weekly reminder we get that basically says, "We have added additional staff to handle the increased phone calls... so don't call us."

Road Trains
This is a recent email sent regarding the cattle trains at Helen Springs Station.
There are interesting statistics.
There are 17 trucks with 3 trailers and 2 decks per trailer;
Therefore there are 102 decks of cattle and there would be approximately
28 cattle per deck; This totals 2,856 head of cattle
The cattle will weigh approximately 500kg each (1102.3 lbs.)
The sale price for cattle at Longreach is approx. 165c/kg (75c/lb.)
Each animal will therefore be sold at $825.
Total revenue from this analysis is $2,356,200
Another interesting fact:
Each trailer has 24 tyres plus a dolly with 8 tyres
For the 72 trucks there are 4,464 tyres on the road
