    Another story I heard yesterday was China has closed its major port due to Covid. I hope this is just a rumor. Considering how much shipping comes into the US from China, this might be a wee bit of a problem!

    Like I said over on the Canadian Drivers page, mebee this WhoooHan silliness was the last straw.
    I think that there's entirely too many people in charge that have no clue when it comes to the ramifications of disrupting the supply chain. And it seems as though they really don't care to learn either.
    But, that's just my opinion.

    The OM has a plan where we annex a portion of Canada from the Easter Alaska border down to the Eastern Minnesota border.

    We need living space.

    Yep. Actually, it has a warmer and a cooler. It also has a shift logic that is kind of like a Volvo I-shift, meaning it can skip-shift depending on the load. They've been using the A760 since 2016, so the bugs are pretty much worked out.

    I believe the Germans had a similar plan in the early 40's.......it was called Lebensraum

    We are woke and are going to move the load forward a 100 miles or so.

    We cannot complete our journey until after midnight when we get some hours back.

    New Baltimore. Why? Because old Baltimore sucks, hehe.

    Broker "send in and out times I'll get you detention". So you enter , they check your bills, give a pice of paper to fill out. Three hours later they allow you to got the second gate. They take your bills, only if they have a dock open. Otherwise they tell you to come back in a bit. So they never take longer than two hours to unload you.
