    The State that is the best with lowest cost to open a store and the lowest Tax on pot is also the State that has collected the most money from pot sales - Oklahoma -per capita.

    Fortune favors the bold.

    Always listen to The OM.

    Our success in Tupelo was due to Clark, Hyster, and Towmotor / Cat being the covering brand dealerships, all located in Memphis, TN. Hyster had 2 good resident mechanics here. Clark had a branch, from which myself and one partner quit. Cat later put in a branch. We opened in 9/79. sold it to a Nissan dealer in 2/92. Difference was you did not have to wait for the local people to call Memphis and get approval/permission to do a deal, just call us and fixin it was on the way. Strange. They were all at $32.00 an hour for labor, we went at $28.00. Clark had built a new building and moved. We rented their old one. Both were 5K sq ft. Figuring we were steadily improving, we followed their labor rates at $4.00 less for all those years. However, I had sold for Clark for 7 years, so knew who to solicit and who we were to busy/did not have that size rental to handle there business. Retained information on a competitor is the best intelligence..

    I always said, you can either wait at the truckstop, or wait at the reciever. Might get lucky (usually), might not. But one way or the other, you're gonna wait.
    The only thing that screws it up is jacking up your 14.

    That is why we slept crossway of China Dolls gate in Mobile, AL with the CA dried beans on Saturday mornings.. Wake us up; 1st in, hour and a half later, 350 bags of dried beans off us and in his. Done by 4 men and and 2 hand trucks. My how times have changed. Only drive 10 hours, cannot park in or nearby, worthless appointments, takes forever even using a forklift.. Glad I am old and gone.. They have taken all the fun out of trucking...

    Where is all of this "wind" going to go when/if any of it actually makes it through the muffler? Through the turbo, exhaust manifold, through the maybe one fully open exhaust valve, head, cylinder, air intake ,cleaner, and intake pipe. With enough velocity to pinwheel a turbo to destruction? I am seriously asking, (not to start and argument again) because I have hauled and been associated with a lot of machinery being moved by truck and rail. Never once had anyone that was ginuinely concerned with this pinwheeling phenomonon, they just smile and tape it up. Myself, other than to keep rain and snow out of it, dont know, but I PERSONALLY, have never known of a verified failure attributed to it. I get that a little tape is some real cheap insurance though.
