Superior Carriers & Henniff

Ok, Heniff had roughly 400 ish and buying out Miller pretty much doubled that. So now with Superior they're around 2000 trucks

 

I have hauled 2 miller trailers now and done deliveries with them. Both where alright trailers maintenance wise from what I saw... one was from 1987 another from 1982 I believe both had rather low pressure relief valves though. One was at only 20psi at the customer I took the load to I had a helluva time gating back the plant air enough in order to not have it release. Was not a fan of the pressure valves but had no issues otherwise... the internal jackbox was mounted in a vertical fashion which was odd to say the least handle facing upwards.

One thing that I would like to learn more about and explore some was both trailers where "center" unloader style. But they have a pipe running to the rear and a "S" style fitting to hook up and allow a rear off load, one thing I noted was the "rear discharge" (I'm assuming its called?) pipe was on a rather steep angle up to towards the rear so I wonder if product would want to sit in it?

The TM from south charleston has been spending a good bit of time helping cover at my terminal I really like him... My hope is he becomes our new TM if they merge the WV terminals.

Side note I'm glad someone mentioned a mack running the henniff stickers I really thought I was losing my #### mind! I saw one on the nj turnpike last week and had to do a triple look!

 

Back to the 401k subject. It doesn't matter which one you're under at the moment. The insanity in the market demands increasing your contribution. I just raised mine, but it won't start until April 1st. Hopefully this insanity takes several months or more to sort out.

I have many friends confused as to why I buy into falling markets and ease up at new highs. Buy low sell high. Markets are fun and everything appears easy on a bull run, but it's all smoke and mirrors if you don't take profits.

On a down market, it looks aweful. But, that's when your money has the most purchase power. The future turnaround is all the more sweeter as you have greatly increased your position with discounted shares.

The Coronavirus is causing the panic. Fundamentals will be impacted due to tier 1 and 2 supply chain interruption. China's GDP will be negative and ours will be around 1. It's looking like several months or more of great buying opportunity. Hopefully we can get into a full blown global recession by losing over 40% of market value.

 

I feel like around October the markets should be down around 20%

 

One can hope. There will be a bounce once the virus fears subside, and then a decline as fundamentals come to fruition.

From now until a turnaround, I'm investing in every 5% weekly drop I can with my personal account. Started last night and again today with a grand extra. 401k is upped a couple of points for the foreseeable future starting April.

Love fear and uncertainty in the market.

 

Good for you, you're braver than I am, we've moved our 401k into fixed income, and will move it back into stocks after the bottom falls out. Probably a couple months from now but could be longer, I believe there's been so much incompetence in handing this virus, that things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. States don't even have testing kits yet, and the CDC's funding has drastically been cut. Lol, I've also sold our stock in our etrade account and letting it sit on the sidelines, I'll buy back in later for less

 

I started moving my 401k into fixed around 27,000 and had only 25% in the market last week. I moved nearly all into the market now.

Hopefully you are just securing profits and then dollar cost averaging with new money at the now lower rates. I spent nearly 17 years explains this stuff to my wife.

This virus has been handled very well by us and the CDC has great funding. The initial reaction was shutting down incoming flights from infected areas nearly two months ago. That had POTUS getting crucified in the media as a xenephobic overreaction.

The communication flow and coordination are above average too. At least MACA hasn't been requested, (my former realm of expertise), so we're a long ways off from anything to panic over.

 

So, I know this is a bit off topic, but I can't find this info anywhere. Can someone with an LT tell me what size the mattress is? Trying to get some bedding this weekend and I want to make sure I get the right size.

 

Usually a bed sheet for a twin size mattress should be good, my student just asked me the same thing this week for his truck

 

Yeah I've been hearing conflicting info. I've heard twin, twin xl, and full. That's why I'm hoping someone that's actually in one chimes in lol. How's your trainee doing? I think you're training from Pasadena. If so, I was in TDC with him.
