    Glad you all are safe during the weather.

    Snowwy I know what you are talking about on the bill signing. Have a few customers that want to talk to everyone and not sign the bills to let me out of the lot or he has to go to the office to ask a question and is gone for about a half hour and comes back with coffee. I want to tell him what to do but I am a company employee and I have to smile and take it. What B.S.

    We made it through just fine. Got real windy and came a big flash flood. Funny thing we bought a new (actually used but new to us) car today and we were joking how wouldn't it just be great if it got pelted with hail causing a claim the first day we had it. Sort of the luck we have sometimes. It didn't. Of course there were people in northern AL who lost their lives in this storm today, and also AR yesterday. So that kinda put it in perspective.

    i don't know about you easterners.

    you complain about the snow. you complain about the rain. the cold. and now the wind.

    suck it up, buttercup. it's going to be a BAD tornado year. the wind hasn't stopped ANYWHERE on this side of the country since spring began. and you WHINERS, :biggrin_255:, aren't tarping or strapping in the crap.

    Maybe you should look into pulling a Van Snowwy :biggrin_25525: Since you hate tarping and strapping down a load lol.

    Balmy 70 here today after last nights storms and the weather is supposed to be fine for the rest of the week. Maybe I can get JJ out today since the weather has improved.

    who said i hated strapping???? it's the tarping that's BS. cheap loads. worn out tarps that need to be thrown away. all that fun crap.

    vans are for lazy truckers. :biggrin_255:

    See Snowwy, Doubleclutch has the right idea he has a Van/Flatbed lol.


    Sent in my call to action notice to the TN reps last week, Apparently the FMCSA wants the insurance rates to sky rocket since there has been less then 1% who have claimed over the insurance amount hmmmm seems like they did a great safety study for that one!
