    I just gotta know! What software are brokers using that claims Cleveland is 80 miles from Detroit!!?

    How in this day and age does software think that my truck can just shred across Lake Erie and land on the beautiful shores of D town?

    I get 20 calls a day and I have to say no....and they are always like, "what 83 miles is a long dead head?"...

    Air miles. It's the cool way to figure distance.
    "Oh air miles? So you want the helicopter service then?"

    It would give new meaning to Helicoil.

    I saw a vid of a big twin rotor chopper delivering a excavator so heck why not coils over Lake Erie!?

    You haven't seen the latest technology?

    Super inflatable tires with an auto paddle option to navigate the waters and save miles.

    The software is called SDBE which stands for Screw the Driver Better than Ever.
